Math League

Officer 2021-2022
Co-president 2022-2024

I was fairly active in Math League in my freshmen year, so the leadership team decided to make me an officer next year. This officer role was the first leadership role I had ever had. I helped plan Math League fun activities like Kahoot and Jeopardy tournaments and the competition math practice slideshows. That year I also participated a lot more in the Math League and saw my skill improve. The next year (this year) my responsibilities have grown, but the people underneath me to share these responsibilties has also grown. We'll see how the year goes. TODO

Programming Vice-Captain 2022 - 2023

During freshmen year there was no robotics season (because of COVID), but I still learned a lot about robotics programming because the captain trained us for the next year. The next year, I had to reacclimatize myself with robotics programming and learned more about more advanced topics like PID motor controls, computer vision, and path generation. During the build season, I helped code the Climber subsystem, Intake subsystem, autonomous paths, and the vision ball tracking. (We got everything except for the vision ball tracking to work consistently.) Then in the competition season, our team played really well in the regional events (we got 2nd in Mount Olive, the same place the middle school states event was) and we qualified for the Mid-Atlantic district championships. Here we didn't do so well because we couldn't score as much as some of the other robots. It was a great experience though and I learned a lot more about how other teams programmed their robots. Then in the offseason, we had another event (the Raritan Valley Science and Technology Showcase) and I gained proper experience with what a programming captain does at competitions. There were some problems, but we got through them and our team played well as a result. TODO

As Co-Vice Captain of the programming subteam, I played a key role in the design and development of our robotics team's competition robot. I led the programming efforts, managing a team and creating a comprehensive resource document for programming tasks. I successfully implemented advanced autonomous routines and utilized Raspberry Pi and cameras for robot localization. Additionally, I contributed to the team's success by creating a website to record strategy data and developing a script for QR code reading to quickly transfer that data. Despite challenges faced during the Robbinsville competition, I demonstrated resilience and problem-solving skills, working collaboratively with the build team to make necessary adjustments for improved performance. I actively contributed to the team's growth and achievements. In our next event, we were also awarded the Autonomous Award.

You can probably find some videos of our matches on the Blue Alliance.

Future Business Leaders of America

Member

I really enjoyed the field trip that we took to the State Leadership Conference to present our Broadcast Journalism project. For this project, I interviewed my economics teacher, Mrs. Villareal, and organized an interview with a young entrepreneur from our own school. Making this presentation with my friends was fun and roaming around the convention center after our presentation was a blast. Although we didn't reach the finals, I am grateful for the learning and growth that this project has brought me and look forward to future opportunities to showcase my abilities and make a positive impact.

Things I made

FBLA Coding and Programming Deliverable

AIT National Honor Society

Member 2022-2023

At the beginning of junior year, I was invited to apply to our school's national honor society chapter. From the beginning, I knew this would be something I was interested in since it would give me the opportunity to tutor students from around our school. At first, I started with math tutoring. I thought this would be a great fit for me since I was already in the math league and the math league decided to also hold group math study sessions along with NHS to teach more people math. Along with this, I also tutored people in physics and prepared people for the SAT. So far, being an NHS member has been a great experience and I look forward to continuing in the future.

High School FED Challenge

Participant

My economics teacher chose me along with a group of seven others to participate in the High School FED challenge. The challenge was to research something about globalization and write a paper about it. The winning teams would then be published in the FED's Journal of Future Economists. My role was researching fossil fuel's role in globalization. At first I created a simulation between developing and developed nations for this project to get theoretical data about what would happen in a perfect world, but we decided to scrap this from the final copy since it drifted away from the original topic and was too big of a topic to only mention in the paper. Along with the simulation, I also worked on writing a couple of paragraphs in the project and editing the final draft. Although our paper didn't get selected as one of the 12 finalists, this was still a great experience that taught me more about economics and paper writing.
