About Me

I'm 13 years old

I am in 8th grade. Some interests I have are sports, piano, chess, science, crafting, nature, and computers. My favorite book series is Harry Potter. My favorite food is tacos. I like traveling to diferent places such as India, Spain, Florida, and California.

My favorite color is green. I love to be outdoors with all the nature and animals. My favorite songs are Beutiful Things by Benson Boone and any song from the musical Hamilton. My favorite movies are any Marvel movies, Harry Potter, and any Transformers movies. But I like any action movies.

I like fire a lot. I don't know why, but it is pretty satisfying to me. I do a lot of arts and crafts. I'm trying a new technique called hydro dipping which is where you spray paint the surface of water in a bin and dip something in it. My first hydro dipping project is in my vlog. Go check it out!

I've been doing Piano for 6 years.
I've completed Level 5 RCM.

In piano I play classical songs mainly but sometimes jazz. My favorite type of piano is classical because they're so calming. My favorite song is called Moonlight Sonata. I'm not even close to the level of piano to play the third movement but I can play the start of the fist movement. Here's a link to a video: Moonlight Sonata. I also play recitals, around 3 every year. I've played in my school, churches, and retirement homes. And in covid time, I played in virtual recitals. You can check my vlog to see some!

I've been doing chess for 3 years.
My rating is 970 on chess.com

In chess, I played in around 10+ tournaments. The highest ranking i've gotten is 2nd place. Most of my tournament are online but some are in person. I usually play online chess from a website called chess.com. I play chess every day against the computer some other random person who just happening to be online at the same time as me. I know how to put people in checkmate in 4 or 5 moves (if they are not careful).

I've been doing tennis for 3 years.
I take after school coaching.

I've played in one tournament before and got 6th place. I go twice a week but if we have time, my parents can take me more times. Every time I go, I usually stay for 2 hours or longer. When I went to India I also took classes. I practice everyday there.

I've completed my Python course.
I have programed 8+ games

I have made a Ping Pong game, a Snake game, 2 guessing games, and more. I have also made other things like a clock, Fireworks, and a random number generator. My favorite thing to program is the date/time generator. I also like making games that I can play for entertainment. My favorite game I've ever made was the Snake game.

I've done a Web Designing course.
I use html, Javascript, and CSS for web designing.

I have created my personal website (you are on it). Now I can create websites for resturants, travels, schools , etc. I work with Visual Studio Code Editor to create my websites.

I been doing boyscouts for 2 years.
I have my Star Scout rank.

Star Scout rank is the 5th rank out of seven. I've been on 8 camping trips with my troop which is troop 3 of Westwood. I really like the outings we go on like dog sledding and bike trips. I'm thinking to continue Boyscouts until I get the Eagle Scout rank which is the last one.



My Summer
I love space and astronomy.
I went to the U.S Space and Rocket Center Space Academy in Alabama.

At space camp, I learned about G forces affecting astronauts during launch and re-entry, and how they impact spacecraft design. Exploring rocket history, from early pioneers to NASA's missions like Mercury and Apollo, gave me a deeper understanding of space exploration's evolution. I discovered future space programs like NASA's Artemis missions and plans for Mars, and learned about commercial space flight innovations from companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin. Understanding basic physics principles, such as orbital mechanics and microgravity challenges, provided a solid foundation for comprehending space exploration. Overall, space camp broadened my knowledge and passion for humanity's journey into space.

I love camping and adventuring
I went to Hidden Valley Griswold Scout Camp in New Hampshire

At Scout Camp, each day begins with the early morning sun filtering through the trees, and Beugal anthem played to wake us up. Morning activities start with a flag ceremony, giving us a sense of respect and patriotism. After breakfast, the real fun begins. We engage in a variety of activities, from hiking and camping to learning survival skills and outdoor cooking. We work on merit badges, covering subjects like woodworking, fishing, or first aid. The hands-on experiences teach not only practical skills but also teamwork and leadership.
