<p>I've gotten seven articles that I've written published in the Washington Post, which is cool. I've had five others in local newspapers, and our school's mainstage play programs. I was nominated for Best Critic in a VA/MD/Nat. Capital Area branch of this program that has kids review other high school shows. That's basically my hook, all the writing, along with my passion for philosophy. Superultracreative, I know.</p>
<p>I'm banking on the Hispanic thing, thank you mama, and an extra rec I'm getting from the man whose children I babysit. He's an astronaut and he's been to the moon and is basically cooler than me, so I'm hoping it rubs off.</p>
