[2nd place National Chess Champion in 2007] - this competition taught me at a young age on the importance of how when one practices and studies hard, great rewards can come.

[25th place International Chess Tournament in 2008] - This competition allowed me to become more cultured and realize the importance of education and discipline to succeed in today’s society.

[Lack of Transportation till 11th grade] - In order to attend many of my clubs, I required a form of transportation. Therefore due to monetary reasons and age restrictions I had to often wait 3 hours after my extracurricular activities ended before I could have my mother/father pick me up.
