1. What classes are you currently taking

Two independent studies: Geometry and Advanced Physics (though I intended to go into AP matter, the hour became more of a tinkering phase, exploration/experimentation sort of deal, a lot of fun)
AP Literature
Art
Spanish
Newspaper Publications
Calculus 2 via Dual Enrollment

2. What is your toughest class? Easiest class? What makes them so?

Leaving out the independent studies, AP Literature and Calc 2 are the hardest, Spanish is pretty simple.

3. What are the requirements to be on the robotics team in your
school?

I couldn't tell you, but we try and keep people at ~2.5 GPA, and make sure they are doing something on the team, otherwise, we kick them out.

4. How long have you been on the team?

This is my 4th official year.

5. What is your GPA?

4.0

6. What college do you plan on attending?

Lawrence Technological University

7. How much time do you spend a day? week? month? involved in extra-
curricular activities including the robotics team?

I have never kept track. Any given day it could be 1-3 hours on average. At least ten a week. 40 a month, etc, but its not that much, these are just estimates.

8. How much time do you spend a day? week? month? doing community
service?

Community service I do in the fall, and it is at least 20 hours. For the past 2 years, I have been doing at least 30 per year with FLL mentoring and either board representative or NHS work.

9. How many required books have you read so far this year? How
many personal books have you read?

At least 5 books and several long classical poems. Personal books I barely read, but that is not to say I do not read period. I read the Detroit Free Press daily, read the RSS feeds from MSNBC and ArsTechnica, plus read Maximum PC and PC World whenever I get around to it.
