I like working with kids in STEM-related activities.
"I enjoy and prioritize communicating with those around me due to the social environment I lived through as a child. Due to the many social interactions I have had throughout my life, I am now able to easily approach children and cooperate with even those others may find troubling. Additionally, having three younger brothers has forced me in the past to do fun crafts to entertain them, so I am confident I will be a great addition to this group."
I had a passion for STEM ever since learning about it as a child. I would like to pass this on to kids today in hopes that it will create many opportunities for them to learn and explore.
I enjoy seeing how others are fascinated with STEM.
I enjoy going on missions trips and serving kids in other countries

I like working with kids :).
I love teaching my classmates how to program and make apps and games, which is why I founded the Unity club. I gain an enormous amount of joy from helping others out. I love the STEM fields and I wish I can get more people to love it too. I believe that making video games is a way easier way to learn programming as it did for me, as opposed to learning how to code in general. I hope by volunteering, I can learn how to be a better human being and help kids get interested in STEM.

All my life, I had been striving to be better at English because being deaf and an immigrant made the task not easy as it may be to others. Thus, I never had a profound interest in the STEM field until high school. My experiences in CyberPatriots and AP Computer Science Principles helped me to see the relevance and the possibilities of STEM. Now, my goal is to help others--especially the underrepresented groups like girls--also grasp the possibilities of the STEM and make extraordinary accomplishments in the field.
I like working with kids and animals.

Happiness doesn't come from being rich, nor merely from being successful in your career, nor by self-indulgence. One step towards happiness is to make yourself healthy and strong while you are a boy so that you can be useful and so you can enjoy life when you are a man.
