Academic Work 2018-2019
- For social science this year I took two AP courses: Macroeconomics and Microeconomics and studied a lot of economic theory and history as well. I received a score of 5 on both exams.
- I spent a good deal of time studying for the SAT as well this year. In the end I got a perfect score on the math section and only missed 30 points on the English and reading for a total of 1570.
- I ran High School cross country and I ran while refereeing for the town games both of which were a lot of fun.
- For English I read a number of classics including:
- Paradigm Shift
- The Abolition of Man
- Bambi
- Steelheart
- Euclid's Elements
- A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
- The Sword in the Stone
- The Tempest
- The 5 S's of Money
- Emma
- Anthem
- The 5,000 Year Leap
- The Present Crisis'
- Alas Babylon
- For Math along with SAT review, I began studying Multi-variable Calculus and got about half way through an Online course which I plan to continue this fall.
- For Chemistry I did some lab work with Mr. Mcbee, making dye sensitized solar cells and I began studying Organic Chemistry on my own. This summer I am interning at MIT in the chemical engineering lab making synthetic cells.
- I Traveled with my family to Spain and England. I especially loved walking among the old buildings of Oxford and all the history there. I also went to BYU with my father to sit in on some labs and lectures and to meet the faculty in the chemical engineering department there. This fall I plan on beginning my college applications for 2020.
