Hello, a fun fact about me is that I love doing any type of art. I’m also a black belt in Taekwondo and I like baking. I absolutely love solving riddles and making stuff out of cardboard.

I love going out with my friends to the mall, parks, and having fun in general! Other than that, I like to play video games, reading, and sleeping. I like to travel and I really want to go to France and Germany.

Besides playing the piano I also play the violin. I have a strong passion for art. In my closet I have tons of sketchbooks filled with drawings since I was little. In addition, I spend lots of time talking to my friends and playing video games with them. :D
Arjun Chandupatla / PIANO
Tompkins High School (G9)
I am a very fresh freshman and don’t have time to write this, but here I am. Aside from practicing, I enjoy practicing, practicing, and more practicing. Just kidding. 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.

Julie Pao / CLARINET
Elkins High School (G10)
I can never wake up early even with three alarms every day. Despite not being a morning person, I like to be organized and use up all my notebooks for to-do lists. My secret talent is being able to croquet, knit, and embroider by just following tutorials!

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".
