<p>What are high school students you know of during this summer? Also, what grade are they entering?</p>

<p>I'm a sophomore/rising junior.</p>

<ul>
<li>Laboratory Research</li>
<li>SAT studying</li>
<li>Working on DuPont Essay or Scholastic Art and Writing piece</li>
</ul>

<p>Does it look good? Regarding the last part, I really want to enter these contests, and I thought the summer would be a good time to get a decent head start on them. Does anyone know about the DuPont contest?</p>

<p>Rising junior S will compete for Arizona in the National Forensics League national tournament in Kansas City for a week. Then there will be SAT prep, preparing next year’s oratory piece and spending a couple of weeks at Debate and Student Congress camp. </p>

<p>In between, I am sure he will work in a few movies and video games. The past two summers we have gone to Guatemala for language school, but this year there is just not enough time. I think he does better when not over-programmed.</p>
