Here are some of the activities I participate in outside of school.

Academic Decathlon
Every year on the 1st Saturday of March the academic decathlon team competes against other schools to test their knowledge. I've been on the academic decathlon team since the 7th grade and have studied Logic, Science, & History. To the left is my first academic decatlon event from th grade, and to the right is the academic decathlon certificate I was awarded at this year's decathlon.

Associated Student Body Council
I've been student council secretary since the beginning of my eighth grade year. Before that, I was a homeroom representative in the 7th grade where I gave m opinions about what my class wanted to do. As secretary, I send notes or minutes to the student council and teachers informig them about upcoming events. To the left, is my election poster from last year. |

Reading
I didn't really get into reading for fun until 6th or 7th grade. I never thought reading was so much fun until I read the book Divergent. On the left is my home library that I've been building for the last two years or so. On the right is a collection of all of my Divergent books which I love a cherish. |

Sign Language
I've been signing for almost a year now and I really enjoy it. I was inspired to learn sign language when I realized how much of a voice those who are deaf or hard of hearing need because they already have hard time. Below are some basic phrases you can use to communicate with others.
“Hi my name is *your name*”
|
|
“What’s your name?”
|
|
“Where’s the restroom?”
|
|
“Do you need help?”
|
