Assignment 1: Max Young

Bonjourno, my name is Max Young, and I am now a junior attending Henry Clay High School in Lexington, Kentucky. I am sixteen years old, and have lived in Lexington my entire life. What you'll probably hear about me most is the fact that I am Jewish, and talk about it often.  I also play lacrosse, and am on the school's speech and debate team. One more fact about me is that this Spring semester I will be attending a program called URJ Heller High, and will be living and learning the entire semester in Israel.
My academic goals for this year are fairly simple, all As and Bs, emphasis on As. While also not stressing myself out too much, keeping my mental state happy and healthy. The reason I say this is because I usually press myself a little too much about grades, and often have gotten upset at a B. I'm working to change this about myself over the course of this year.
My most meaningful moment this year on vacation was when I went to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. It was by far the most incredible experience of my life, leaving me with a wanting to go back.
One Superpower? Telekinesis. I'm fairly sure you can accomplish anything you want when you're capable of manipulating molecules.
What geeks me out? That's a hard question. From an academic standpoint I would say psychology or philosophy. Maybe space and the ocean. But, if you can get into a good conversation with me about Mel Brooks movies, I could talk for hours.
