Looks like you stumbled into my About Me I guess.

My hobbies:

Chess
- I’ve been playing since I was 8 in 2022 or September or October
- I also have a USCF account: https://ratings.uschess.org/player/32323133
Coding
- I started coding in Scratch, but not seriously
  - Later on, I learned about Python for a couple weeks
  - After that, I started to learn code in Java Processing
    - I think close to a year or so, I learned actual Java coding
    - Surprisingly, I’m at college level? It doesn’t seem difficult honestly
Cubing
- It all started when someone gifted me a tiny 3×3 Rubik’s Cube
- It of course got scrambled
  - Very very sad day
- I then got a cheap Rubik’s Cube
  - Starting from there, I then learned the steps and algorithms to solve the cube
    - Fun fact, it took over 3 minutes for me to solve it for the first time
    - My mother then got an app to track my Personal Best times
      - It took a while to break the sub-1 minute barrier
  - I later learned the Beginner’s Method and got more cubes (Not all cubes)
    - I then learned to solve it in sub-30 using CFOP (Cross, F2L, OLL, PLL)
    - I stayed around the 25 seconds zone ever since cause I stopped pushing myself
- The most difficult cube I ever solved would probably be the 5×5
- The most difficult cube I own is the Puppet Cube
It is quite interesting that I have three ‘C’ hobbies
Minecraft
- I at first only watched it, waiting for the chance to ever touch the game
  - I did get the chance in 6th grade
    - Minecraft Education was accidentally released into the school App Store
    - Basically everyone started playing it
    - My school did catch on, and started banning the app from people one by one
      - I was actually one of the first people T-T
      - There then was a day that the school iPads had a duplicate app, I connected my two neurons and found Minecraft Education was back
        I didn’t tell any of my friends for some reason :/
  - It was officially introduced in 7th grade, where people can freely play it
Geometry Dash
- As far as I can remember, I started playing when I was in 3rd grade
  - Actually, it was just “Scratch Geometry Dash”, so not as good
  - I had trouble learning how to play, especially the ship
  - I got to conquer all main levels except the demon difficulty and Electrodynamix
  - Later in 5th grade (I skipped a grade), I continued playing the terrible Scratch rip-offs
  - In 6th grade, Minecraft happened, so nothing
  - When I got to 7th, I accidentally discovered a new kind of Scratch GD, Geometry Dash Revamped
    - This had better physics and levels to play
    - I’ve stuck with this ever since because I can’t really get Geometry Dash

What I excel at:

Math: I finished Algebra II and I’m taking AMC10
Learning and Memorization: I don’t really have to study, yay!
- Really helps with all of my Activities and Hobbies

What I struggle with:

Writing: Especially TDAs during the PSSA
Remembering: What I have to do, what day it is, etc. (Kind of contradictory)

My chess goals:

1600 elo in at least two time controls before 2027

Learn all the Dutch Defense: Leningrad Variation’s theory before 2027

1800 elo in at least one time control before 2028
