Andrew Blair, Corry Area High School , Corry, PA

1. Block Scheduling: CADII, Advanced Robotics, Honors English, PhysicsII, Concert Band (Physics and Band are a split block I shoved together)

2. Toughest class this semester is probably Honors English. But it's a godsend compared to AP/ChemIII last semester. Easiest class is Advanced Robotics this semester. ChemIII was hard because of the teacher compounding the understanding of the material mostly, along with AP Calc on top of it all. AP Calc was easy, but the workload aggravated my ChemIII class and frustration. Advanced robotics is easy because we just build the robot!

3. 75%, proficiency, as required by sports and all other activities.

4. Since 9th grade, when you can first join. Before that, I was on our FLL team from its pilot. So, 4 years in FLL, approaching 4 years in FRC.

5. ~98.1, 3.92, as I can remember (unweighted).

6. Wish I knew. CMU or RIT perhaps.

7. During build, I spend about 20-30+ hours a week, as well as during soccer season. In the few months not encompassed by sports or FIRST, perhaps 30-50 hours a month.

8. Depending on the time of year, 3-10 hours a month is about usual.

9. Haha, this year? Two books have been required, and apart from that, I've slacked. Honestly, I haven't read a personal book since summer, though I actively read Popsci and National Geographic.

10. AP Calc is the only official AP course we offer. ChemIII offered the AP exam, but the class was not officially designated. We do have many honors and advanced courses however.
