My name is Benjamin Liu. I am a sophomore; and I have trouble accepting the fact I am one. I'm am not the typical tenth grader. Many expect a fit, tall, and smart student. I may be a good student, but I am short and skinny. Maybe it is because I don't eat a lot. Even though I am underweight and all, I am still a good student. I currently take seven classes: PE II, Algebra w. Trig, Chinese IV, AP World History, English II, Computer Science, and Chemistry. I will always aim for the A in each class, B is a failure to me.
Yes, I may be small and "unfit". However, it doesn't stop my after school activities. I swim and play water polo. Yes, I play both sports in different seasons. I play ball in the summer. I also glowstick for AAC (Asian American Club, yes, come see our show in May!). Not only I participate in these time consuming activities, I am in Math Team. Well, I wasn't on the state-winning team last year, I'm not that smart. I expect that I will participate in the same activities, in addition to the possibility of fall polo. I will be very busy, and it will be very challenging for me. However, I will not be deterred. I will also take the lifeguard test in attempt to have life guarding job with CPD this summer. People usually laugh at that. Imagine a skinny 5'3'' boy trying to save a chunky 5'10'' man! I can't imagine that either.
My ultimate goal? Finish this year as my best year of school. Pass AP World, improve in swimming, get better at polo, train harder at baseball, learn more moves at glowsticking, higher math team scores, lifeguard, and get all As in my classes. Wait a sec, that's a lot. A minor change in my plans. My plan is to finish this post here, right at the end of this period.
