STEM is something all children should be able to experience regardless of race, gender, and lifestyle.
I like working with kids since they can be fun to be around.
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 like math and technology.

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.

I believe it is better to be excited for something rather than nervous because nervousness usually comes from doubts while excitement usually means you are well-prepared and confident. I am thoroughly excited to work with kids and get them involved in STEM-based activities!

National Junior Honor Society -AWANA LIT, I have been in this program and teaching kids from ages 5-11 since I was in 7th grade.
Marching band, I currently hold the title of section leader, meaning that I lead a section of my instrument, clarinet, that holds teens from ages 14-17.
Volleyball, I play this sport for my school, but what is so significant of this sport is that it requires such good teamwork just to play a couple rallies. Because of Volleyball, I learned how to adapt to situations that I am not used to, things like playing with volleyball players I do not personally know and getting know how a specific player does his plays and what his strengths and weaknesses are. With all these things in mind, I adapt, hopefully increasing the rate of the amount of points we score and decreasing the amount of points the opposing team scores.
I want to use my skill with kids and my leadership with all age ranges to hopefully encourage kids to go down the STEM career path.

I think this is a great opportunity to serve my community as well as learn skills while cooperating with others. I have had an interest in STEM starting from 3rd grade. I have loved STEM ever since.
Here I present to you one of the most vexing math problems we as humankind have ever encountered: If x = 2 + 2, then what is the value of x? Now to answer this extremely complicated and difficult problem, we turn to the wisdom of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, who in his famous Gettysburg Address, gives us the answer: "Four" - Abraham Lincoln
