- volunteered at an adapted aquatics swim center that helps the disabled. did about 1 hour per week starting from freshman year all the way to end of junior. only place i volunteered. got about 200 hours total.
- finished BC calc in 10th grade, so i went to a community college to take Calc II (11th) and linear algebra (now)
- got severe depression and anxiety issues at the beginning of 10th grade. went to the point of suicidal and got hospitalized. had to take the rest of the year off for intensive therapy from psychologists since my parents were very against me taking antidepressant medication. so basically, this is my 5th year of high school. i started 10th grade twice.</p>
