I do quiz bowl and know random facts. I also play tennis (only for fun) and video games in my spare time. I like geography stuff a lot and like energetic classical music.

I like to exercise, art, and swim very much, If you are one of my friends, you know that I don't like to talk to someone I don't know. However, all my friends know that I talk a lot with them.

Daniel Duan / CLARINET

I also play the flute now, and in my free time, I’d like to play tennis, go eat, or cook. And the best thing to do for me is sleep. I’m very enjoying the time on my bed.

Aaron Ju / CLARINET
Strake Jesuit College Preparatory (G9)
Being one of those active guys, I enjoy both playing and watching sports. In my free time I like spending time chatting with my friends, and when I'm alone I'd probably binge watch TV Show series in bed. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I recover myself by listening to nostalgic music.

I like reading the LoTR series and telling people about vague characters from obscure LoTR books, playing video games under the disguise of coding, and drinking bubble tea. As of now, my life savings are almost $2, but I am trying to make more money.

Trisha Nicole Basak / PIANO
Cinco Ranch High School (G10)
Other than playing piano, what I love doing the most is drawing. I absolutely love filling my sketchbooks and filling them page to page. If you can’t find me drawing, I’m probably staring at my computer playing video games and talking to my friends. I also love to travel to all sorts of countries! I’ve been to London, Canada, India, and most recently the Philippines.

Alexander Zou / CLARINET

Julie Pao / CLARINET
Lawrence E Elkins High School (G11)
As a clarinet player, I truly enjoy performing and playing in orchestras. However, besides music, I am pursuing my interest in medical sciences through research, and I like being outdoors since participating in so many BSA scouting activities such as kayaking, climbing, and mountain hiking! Also, I am currently in love with reading as I am much compelled by Jane Austen’s books and I love eating at La Madeleine on the weekends!

I like to read books, especially those about history, including those that didn't actually happen (like A Song of Ice and Fire). I also like playing multiplayer games. In my free time, I browse over youtube videos that may or may not be "educational".
