Languages of any kind. Spanish in particular. I've gone to Spanish immersion summer camp every summer since I was 11 (except for this past summer; I volunteered in Mexico instead), but I didn't really get any practice with it beyond 2 weeks a summer until 9th grade, because I was homeschooled until then. But I've been the favorite of all of my Spanish teachers. I skipped a year in the middle of 10th grade, and caught up enough to get 100% on the midterm of my new class after 2 weeks. Last year, I sat next to the Mexican exchange students in Spanish, and my test grades were higher than hers.

I'm also great at German, and I've skipped a year of that too. Not so great with French, but I get A's and I skipped a year there too. I did Mandarin Chinese for a semester last year and did really well with that, too, but unfortunately it couldn't fit into my schedule this year. =/

I was also really great in English last year. This year I'm in AP, and I don't stand out as much.

Biology.
5'd the AP exam and A'd(arguably more impressive since only 2 people got "A's) the class. Then got a honorable mention in the Toshiba Exploravision contest.
On this one test I was the only person to get an "A" (92%), and the rest of the class got C's or lower.

Everything, but especially Engineering - I recently got a 70/70 on a presentation. That's pretty impressive considering the fact that my teacher hasn't ever given anyone a 100% on a presentation or report in his 10+ years of teaching. That an the Best Student in Engineering award for two years in a row make me think I'm a pretty good engineering student, lol

Kids at my school hate me because I become teacher's pet in Spanish even though I don't know the language and only learn enough to pass. Plus history classes because I love history and know random history facts. I also love math and excel in it. And I'm good at chem but we did talk about getting away with killing people a lot in that class....

Definitely calculus ,stats, and physics. I even have the only A in my ap lit class despite the fact that I loathe it. I just help people in all the math-related classes or do homework and I managed to teach myself calc BC a week before the ap test and snag a 5

I "validate" my teacher's decision to enter teaching in every single one of my classes.

All self-aggrandizement aside (well maybe not all), I'd like to say that I excel in AP Physics C, AP Calc and AP Gov. Those classes honestly sum up my passions in a nutshell, and I go as try-hard as possible in every single one, especially physics. I ensure that learn as much as I can, because I truly enjoy learning these subjects. I love argument, I love theory, and I love math. In Physics, I've learned all of the material for the first semester in the past month, so now I'm just cruising by with 100's, while in Calc I answer every question, put up every homework problem, and ace every test.
