Race: Latino from Brazil, have no idea what to check for race box since my family tree is all over the place, always wondered whether or not to mark native american, because a good percentage (25%) of my ancestry is in the indigenous peoples of Brazil, and although I've always wanted to make contact my family has had no money to go back to Brazil.

If it helps I'm first generation American, and I would be first generation college</p>

I paid for these classes myself by buying and selling stocks, a personal hobby of mine, I've made over 7000 dollars this year by doing it, and while much of it has gone to continuing my education, I've also devoted a lot of it to helping my family since we barely make ends meet.</p>

Junior year: Mu alpha theta (President, youngest ever) (Captain of Calculus team)
National Honor society
Founding officer of science national honor society (treasurer)
In the process of writing a book on the beauty of mathematics, it's almost completed about 80% done, will spend summer hoping to publish it by the end.</p>
<p>Collaborating with the mathematics department at the local uni (Florida Atlantic University) to prepare novel cryptography research, I've been doing this for about a month so far it's really been incredibly enlightening, an incredible experience!</p>
<p>Will be going to Brazil and teaching a course to high school teachers on how to approach high school mathematics with students (This is definite, already planned it out with family and the school, family friend is a higher up in a school system in southern Brazil hopefully will be an eye-opening experience)</p>
<p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I don't have the greatest grades in the world and that C makes me worried but I have always tried hard to tackle a lot because learning is what makes me happy, and if it isn't obvious I have a huge passion for mathematics, it's my dream to be a mathematician, a dream shared by my grandfather, who was recently deceased I was very close to him but as the second in my family to attend college (first was my older brother) and only the second generation to finish secondary school (my grandparents didnt even finish primary school, my grandmother never attending school at all) I hope to carry on his dream.</p>
