<p>Other information
My poetry has been published by our school literary magainze, and in national anthologies/magazines
I attended Business Week and Advanced Business Week, at colleges during the summer. I was CEO both times, and ranked in the top 3.
National Hispanic Scholar (???)
National Merit qualifier (???)</p>
<p>Other notes: In addition, my original IB-diploma plan had me taking an easier course than calc, that would barely qualify as pre-calc. I really wanted to get Calculus in my highschool career, so I took pre-calc at the same community college, and got tutored by my teacher and my advanced math friends. And I have officially taken a requirement test to get into IB Calc, and passed!</p>
