More from Alex:
I started as a Girl Scout Brownie with the Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa & Western Illinois’ Troop 8797 in 2007. The change in the age and grade levels for Brownies in 2008 and my move to Wisconsin in 2009 resulted in my being a Brownie for 4 years. Girl Scouts has been a vital part of my life now for 13 years. My favorite projects were:
Creating www.fitandco.weebly.com, which is a health/fitness website for kids, by kids. Former First Lady, Michelle Obama, linked her “Let’s Move” website to it, too. Webkinz Drive for the children of Ronald McDonald House, Iowa city. Water Conservation/Preservation Awareness Project. No Texting Project Careless Corey Project Kids Caring Kits Project Dane County Humane Society DriveMy other passions include:
Tai kwon Do (7 years) Creative Writing Instructor at MCDS (3 years) Acting in theater productions (5 years) Piano Lessons (10 years) Basketball (3 years) Volleyball (2 years) Kumon (4 years)Last summer, I interned at U.W. Badger Lab which specializes in biomechanical engineering where I loved working with and coding robots. I will attend U.W. Madison this fall to become a Mechanical Engineer.
