2. What is your toughest class? Easiest class? What makes them so?
None are tough, most are easy. I always challenge myself outside of school, through robotics for example, to keep school interesting.

Experience. I'm a programmer and when I had joined the team, I had programmed Java for 2 years, had experience writing C, C++, and some experience in ASM and Fortran.

2 years now
5. What is your GPA?

I have been required to read 3 books, personally read 7-8 (it's hard to remember because I reread a lot of books 'cause I ran out of material).

Yep. I'm taking 2 this year (AP Gov't, AP Calculus AB), took 3 last year (AP Computer Science AB, AP Chemistry, AP US History), and 1 my sophomore year (AP Computer Science A).
