<p>Hello everyone on College Confidential. This summer I’m probably going to volunteer, my family and I are planning on some vacations, I would like to go to a robotics camp, I might go to Washington for a Government Leadership Program, and I’ll play some awesome video games in my free time (Bioshock 2, Pokemon Heartgold AND Soulsilver, Arc Rise Fantasia, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and I’ll probably replay some awesome Legend of Zelda games like Majora’s Mask to get into the spirit for LOZ Wii 2).</p>

<p>I will be spending 6 hours a day in hagwon prepping for the SAT’s. I wanted to go to math camp and computer camp but my mom says that its not good to waste the summer before junior year on trivialities (go figure right).</p>
<p>In the meanwhile, I am going to be attending HOPE (hackers on planet earth), which takes place in NYC from July 16-18. It is going to be awesome. I plan on doing some cool hardware hacks as well as listen in on all the amazing talks. </p>
<p>I also plan on becoming a volunteer EMT. </p>
<p>I am also going to california for 3 weeks to celebrate my grandfather’s 80th birthday. we will be chilling in cali for a bit and then are going to go on a cruise where we will have a family reunion.</p>
