<p>For my senior project, I worked at Drexel University where I designed, constructed, and tested a Microstrip Patch antenna. The project lasted six months from start to finish, allowing my partner and I to fully experience the collegiate level of research and study.</p>
<p>This past summer I attended the PA Governor's School for International Studies. To get in I had to go through an application process of sorts and apparently the acceptance rate is about 20%.</p>

-Numerous class awards, including awards for AP US History, AP German, AP Comp. Sci., and Robotics Programming</p>
<p>Recs:
I asked my AP US History teacher, who was also my Global Studies teacher and Hi-Q faculty adviser, for one. He gave me the award for AP US History. Likewise, I asked my AP Computer Science independent study adviser for a recommendation. I had had him for Robotics Programming as well, and he had given me the AP Computer Science award. I enjoy good relationships with both teachers.</p>
