Extra-curricular activities are important to me because it gives me a break from school work. They also let me do something that I'm passionate about. I also love meeting people through extra-curricular activities because they have the same interest as me. Some of my best friends I've meet through my extra-curricular activities. I think that someone can learn a lot about another person by the extra-curricular activities they do.

Youth group is a group that I participate in through my church. I've meet a lot of people through youth group that are good influences. We do charity work like helping the homeless. We do a lot of work in my church. We also went to fall camp which taught me leadership and teamwork skills. National Honor SocietyNational Honor Society is a prestigious group that promotes character, service, scholarship and leadership. As a group and individually we have all completed many service activities, keep high grades, showed leadership, and maintained a pristine character.
I received this award by making a poster that answer a question. In order to answer my question I had to conduct a survey and then preform statistical test to see if my results were statistically significant. I got an honorable mention in the competition.

Miles 4 Alex is an organization that gives bikes to children that are sick. I volunteered to help at the bike race/ carnival. On this day the children who received the new bikes rode around a track in Birmingham and then enjoyed a carnival filled with games and crafts. This day also donated money to the foundation Detroit 2 Nepal. My physics class entered a bridge competition were we had to make a proposal. Part of the proposal was to build and test a test bridge. My group's bridge help the most weight out of the whole grade.
