"If the favorite cooke was Mrs. Stewart's, then the favorite one couldn't have been chocolate chip or multigrain. And if Sally didn't make the multigrain cookie, then her last name is not Green..." Growing up doing logic puzzle such as this was one of my most cherished memories. All my life I have enjoyed the enthralling feeling of doing logic puzzle, tangrams, Rubiks cubes, sudokus, and much more. When doing puzzles, I enter my own realm where I pull apart...

I have spoken to a representative at a college fair at my school and I have talked to students who have attended Brown. Brown students have informed me of all the options available to me.

I enjoy the fact that Brown would allow me to choose how I am graded. I agree with this idea that studying should be...

The community service project that has had the biggest impact on me is the work I've done for my town's sister city of Somotillo in Nicaragua. Unlike simply fundraising for homeless shelters and raking yards for the elders, which my Interact Club does, I am able to actually be on...
