<p>Do you do the other forensics things too?</p>
<p>Also, how good are you?</p>
<p>@Apollo11: Nope, I only do Congress and Extemp.</p>
<p>And I mean, I’ve placed top 3 at a national level tournament, won a local one and placed well at a few others, and qualified for State this year. Take that as you will. I don’t think I can analyze how good I am because I’m, well, biased. </p>
<p>Does anyone do key club or join a foreign language club?</p>
<p>@Babyblue98 Our school literally doesn’t give a damn about clubs, but we do have an Asian club (does that count?) that I could just say I’m part of.</p>
<p>P.S Very few of our clubs do anything, and I think I could say I was part of almost every club and no one would care.</p>
<p>I’ve just been inspired to pursue a second research project by @TheGreatCatsbyx. Really good potential for publication, too. Yay. </p>
<p>@TeamRocketGrunt How do you get your research published? I’m doing research this summer, but I don’t know how I can get it published. And is it you solely conducting this project or are you working with a mentor or someone?</p>
<p>@Slytherclaw12<br>
Contacting both people and journals can be pretty helpful.</p>
<p>Also, @TeamRocketGrunt, do you know what field you will be researching?</p>
<p>.@Slytherclaw12: it’s a field I’m not too familiar with (cell bio), so I’ll be doing an internship under a mentor over the summer to learn cell bio techniques and I’ll work on the project itself over the year. Honestly, the idea I have right now has more potential for ISEF and stuff than my current project, but I dunno if I’ll get done in time for this year’s ISEF; if not, I’ll just submit my current project. Hoping to enter the cell bio one into ISTS tho. As for publishing, it depends on if you discover something new. If you do, talk to your adviser about it. He/she should know. </p>
<p>@Apollo11 : see above.</p>
<p>@TeamRocketGrunt </p>
<p>If you apply for Davidson, we might actually compete against each other.</p>
<p>Also, I just remembered I have a paper on Lynch Syndrome, so that’s cool.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, my sister won ASEE/IEEE Best Paper of the Year for her paper and presented at various conferences.</p>

Oh. We don’t have a Asian club in my school. All clubs in my school are pretty involved in. I’m just trying to make a conversation because I honestly don’t understand what Apollo and team rocket are talking about.
I do want to join more clubs though at my school. Maybe MUN or something else.</p>
<p>@babyblue98 </p>
<p>*Are talking about</p>
<p>We’re talking about various research competitions and the subculture of HSL.</p>
<p>Also, you can make a club. I started like 3 of them.</p>
<p>Extreme blast from the past:</p>
<p>Some HSL CO 2016ers made Facebook accounts and talked through that.</p>
<p>I edit that but I guess it didn’t update.</p>
<p>Oh okay</p>
<p>I’m pretty shy and I wouldn’t know what to start anyways.</p>
<p>I don’t even know what 3/4 of these competitions/awards are D:</p>
<p>@SwaggyC
YES!! I am not the only one! </p>
<p>@Apollo11 what’s your project in? </p>
<p>@Slytherclaw12
NSLI-Y (if I’m correct) offers summer and year. The summer is more popular and I heard it’s easier to get in. And IMO the year would be too complicated with getting your needed credits and all that jazz; some people do a gap </p>
<p>@Almondjoy7
I did Congress like 3 times and went to state this year (first year debater and it’s still a love/hate relationship) You should PM me some tips for Congress cause at state I was totally embarrassed. Since my district is pretty easy, I guess I went to state because of that :/</p>
<p>@Apollo11 @TeamRocketGrunt
Wow… you guys are so motivated. I’m not getting anything published by myself. But I’m currently working on some bioinformatics stuff on the genealogy of plant species for a professor at MU. Haha, you guys are so motivated, I don’t think I can ever do that, but it’ll be a dream come true. </p>
<p>@babyblue98
Yeah, start some clubs! I’m planning on starting three next year. This year my school clubs are lacking, only VP for one of them. And high school is definitely the time to start becoming UN shy! We don’t have an Asian club, but since my school is adding Chinese to our foreign languages, I’m gonna start a Chinese club.</p>
<p>Anyone here Asian? Haha just wondering! </p>
<p>@jumpingstar I need to figure out a way to get good at bioinformatics stuff to incorporate into my project. Got any advice? </p>
<p>@TeamRocketGrunt
Well, for my project we look at when certain parts of certain plants’ species evolved. There’s a gap during the prehistoric age regarding the development of the carpel and basically I just gather genes and sort them chronologically in Excel and map them out and such. And we have other programs that are specifically for gene mapping. I really have no idea what to do for cell bio stuff. The work I do is pretty straight forward and easy haha, so I really admire you guys for trying to do something by yourself. </p>
<p>@babyblue98 Not too hard to start a club. Find some friends, get together, make it official. I started one my freshman year, and we’re waning but continuing. Again, our school’s general participation gets an F. I don’t know how the American Cancer Society club here got started, but it literally does nothing. And Asian club. And almost every other club. </p>
<p>@jumpingstar Isn’t it at all a little embarrassing to start 3 clubs in one year? On one hand, you could be seen as super involved, but on the other, you could be seen as obviously trying to get credit for starting clubs and leadership. (I’m Asian! Chinese.)</p>
<p>What to do for someone not at all interested in science, but good at math? All the math nerds at my school are pretty interested in science, except for me. </p>
