Hobbies
Reading ___, where the blank is filled by whatever interests me at the time. It is often math but recently also often becomes the Aeneid and any number of other things.
Clubs
Chess club
Experience
I was on the U.S. team for the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2006 and 2007. I probably did a few other things as well.
Biography
I was born in Nanjing, China but moved to the U.S. when I was two. I spent a huge part of my childhood playing with Legos, but eventually I had to grow up, and now I haven’t touched them for a few years. Sometimes I wish I could get into playing with them again, but I have had neither the time nor the nostalgic friends that would probably be necessary for this to happen.
