List below and state level of recognition (district, state, national, international).
I made it to State level Science Olympiad in my 8th grade year, my 9th grade year was foiled by the pandemic. I participated in a Math Competition which I got 5th (I believe) in during 8th grade, I was going to participate in another during 9th grade, but again it was foiled due to Covid-19. I have gotten All-As since 6th grade. I will have my Microsoft Word certificate by the end of the first semester (10th grade).

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
List below (Clubs, volunteering, leadership roles, sports/martial arts, etc.).
I meet criteria for BETA Club this year, but again, due to Covid-19 I don’t know it will be occurring this year. 20+ hours of community service (mainly for BETA club). Science Olympiad, I participated in multiple events including Road Scholar, Geographical Mapping, Potions and Poisons, and more. I was going to do Student Government, but I decided not to because of the pandemic. Band throughout middle school and 9th grade (I play the Saxophone). Throughout middle school I was in Junior BETA Club.
