History of Accomplishments
9th Grade
In 9th grade, I was one of only 2 freshman to make the Alpha team (as our school calls our first team; the second team is called Beta) and one of only 4 freshman to make the States team, which is pretty amazing considering the lack of freshman the last two years.
I participated in Astronomy and Forestry. Actually, I kind of stumbled into Science Olympiad because I had never even thought of doing Science Olympiad until JP Day, when my future biology teacher and the club sponsored a "Science Jeopardy", which is where I heard of the club.
The first year was definitely a learning experience, but overall I felt satisfied with my effort. In addition, my team did extremely well, cracking the top 5 for the first time in school history with 4th.
Results:
- Union County Regionals:
- Astronomy: 19th
- Forestry: 10th
- New Jersey States:
- Astronomy: 8th
- Forestry: 16th
10th grade
In 10th grade, I started to get into the groove of things: however, things hit a rough patch when the results for my state event came out. In addition, my school, John P. Stevens High School, didn't do as well as I would have liked, finishing 7th in both Regionals AND States.
Results:
- Union County Regionals:
- Astronomy: 6th
- Forestry: 11th
- Fermi Questions: 14th
- New Jersey State
- Astronomy: 15th
11th grade
11th grade was a huge success. I FINALLY got my medal in an event that was not Astronomy and got into the top 5 at States in both events. In addition, my school got back into the top 5 at States and top 3 (essentially top 2 due to the two team per school phenomenom) at Regionals.
Results:
- Union County Regionals:
- Astronomy: 5th
- New Jersey States:
- Astronomy: 4th
- GeoLogic Mapping: 5th
- Entomology (a last minute thing): 11th
