Re: Problems in School :(

1. What classes are you currently taking:

AP US Gov't
AP Calculus AB
English 12
Physics I
Advanced Computer Studies (Independent studies class after AP Computer Science AB)
CIW Web Tech (Dual enrollment)
Oracle Database Management (Dual enrollment)

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.

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

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.

4. How long have you been on the team?

2 years now

5. What is your GPA?

Currently a 4.1 (so far this year), overall just over a 3.5 ( I crashed and burned last year with 3 APs, effectively 4 with chemistry. I was too immature for that kind of schedule last year).

6. What college do you plan on attending?

Virginia Tech

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

18 hrs a week working (recently ended to devote more time to robotics), and between 3-9 hrs a day at robotics.

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

1-2 hrs a week as an elementary school teacher aid.

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

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).

10. Do you have an AP classes in your school?

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).

Re: Problems in School :(

G. Cox, 11th grade, Eisenhower High School/UCMST, Shelby Twp Michigan

1. What classes are you currently taking
- AP Gov't/Economics, AC English, Web Page Dev I, Pre-Calc, Physics, AP Java [the last three are at this special accelerated program, MST, with "high rigor" courses and such.. think of them as basically all AP-level or higher]

2. What is your toughest class? Easiest class? What makes them so?
- toughest would probably be English; we have at least 100 pages of novel reading a week, along with a tonn of in class essays (not to mention the teacher is insane.. he thinks that because we're in AC, we devote our lives to literature and writing). Easiest would be Web Page or Java; I've always just been good with computers and that type of thing.. Web Page Dev = browse CD and other forums

3. What are the requirements to be on the robotics team in your
school?
- Must raise $1000 in fundraising before the start of the team, must get weekly grade reports to make sure that your grades aren't slipping. There's no set GPA, they just can't fall significantly from where you started. Also, everyone must contribute 10 hours a week to the team (whether it's doing PR/articles, mechanical, animation, etc.. most people have no problem hitting this, unless something major comes up). There are a bunch of little things like contributing to articles, but those are the three major ones.

4. How long have you been on the team?
- This is my rookie year

5. What is your GPA?
- 3.75 give or take, depending on the day. I have a 3.9 if you don't count my english class. If our school used weighted grades, I would probably have a 4+

6. What college do you plan on attending?
- Probably somewhere like Kettering, Michigan Tech, or Lawrence Tech. One of those types.

7. How much time do you spend a day? week? month? involved in extra-
curricular activities including the robotics team?
- haha, including robotics, 15-20+ hours a week depending on the week.

8. How much time do you speand a day? week? month? doing community
service?
- uhh... a couple hours a month?

9. How many required books have you read so far this year? How
many personal books have you read?
- Required.. 6 or 7. Personal, 2 or so. It would be more, but almost all of my reading efforts are put into trying to pass english.

10. Do you have an AP classes in your school?
mmmhm, I've basically taken every one available to me.

Re: Problems in School :(

Ford [HS] is starting something called mechatronics next year, which is a lot of the same principles, engineering and little robots and such...

... but having FIRST as a class would be awesome
