<p>Extra-Curriculars:</p>
<p>Soccer: I have been playing since I was 10 for my town. I am captain of our team, we have won two provincial titles, won tournaments in Italy and Scotland, played in US tournaments and have played in Germany against clubs such as Bayern Munich. Soccer takes up most of my time (5 times a week). And I plan to contact the Stanford coach sometime this week. Our team does strength training as well, and I hold the vertical jump and standing long jump records at the training centre.</p>
<p>Debate: I have been a member of the school debate team and have participated in local tournaments as well as tournaments at Western University, Queens University and McGill. (practices are twice a week and I also help coach the junior debate team).</p>
<p>Coaching Soccer: I help coach my brother's club team by working with the team on fitness and skills. ( I do this twice a week during the summer).</p>
<p>Kidney Foundation: Every year I go out and canvass for the kidney foundation around my neigbourhood.</p>
<p>Math Competition: Write the waterloo math competitions, which i usually get honours for my scores, but its moreso just for fun and to keep my math skills sharp.</p>
<p>Saxaphone: I played the saxaphone at school for grade's 9 and 10 but had to stop because my schedule became to packed.
Jobs:
Referee: I have been a referee for soccer since I was 13 years old, but I only do this during the summer.</p>
<p>McDonalds: Just began working at McDonalds this summer, but happy to say it hasnt it stopped me from having the occasional big mac ;).</p>
<p>Aeropostale: Im a sales associate at the aeropostale store in my local mall.</p>
<p>Additional:
I have also taken a course in Solidworks 3D modeling software at a local engineering firm, just so I can be familiar with these programs which are used in university. </p>
<p>Research:
Geography: We had to do our own research assignment/fieldwork to be submitted to IB last year. I did mine on indicators of pollution (nitrates, phosphates and chloride ions) in a local creek, and was the first student in our school to receive a perfect score.</p>
<p>Physics: For the Extended essay I have been working on factors affecting wi-fi strength, and might be able to get it published.</p>
