Upcoming Stuff!

by shiningsunnyday, Apr 9, 2016, 3:07 PM

Hey all! First, you may notice that my background changed. As the picture shows, high school is essentially me, running for that light at the end of the tunnel.

School

Upcoming stuff:

The CEMC Euclid is on Wednesday.

Although I do not usually regard Canadian competitions favorably, as they're often quite different from US contests in nature, but I have to kind of deal with it cause my school somehow doesn't register for American ones and spend all their budget on Canadian contests. :mad: Anyways I'm still going to try my best. My goal, as it had been for the other Canadian competitions this year, is to get number one in my school, which shouldn't be too hard.

My 16th birthday is on Friday, April 15!

Here's my birthday present list: :)
-104 Number Theory Problems
-102 Combinatorics Problems
-103 Trigonometry Problems
-107 Geometry Problems

Yay!!!

Kobe's last NBA game is Thurs against the Jazz.

Kobe Bryant has been my role model for a long time, and it's so sad seeing that it's going to be his last game. To honor perhaps the single most important figure I contribute my work ethic/passion to, I'm going to skip school on Thurs to watch the game.

My 1000th post is just 5 posts away!

It's quite coincidental it's also at the same time of my birthday. I thought about doing something fancy, but I really don't have the time. It will be, however, sort of special.

eek... good luck with school

I don't know what math means personally to you, but I would say to maybe listen to your parents and maybe try to find a balance between math/school that will also satisfy your parents

my parents are generally very understanding of my interests, so I'm not sure what to say; good luck and feel free to PM me

Yea... my dad doesn't quite understand how hard/tiring math can be, and how rewarding it is. Like he would probably be happier seeing a 4.0 rather than a (J)AMO qualification. So I told him to read Holden Lee's essay, hoping he can be more sympathetic and more understanding that it takes a lot of support for a math contestant to succeed. It backfired. He's like I PITY THIS KID, POURING ALL THE WORK FOR NOTHING. YOU SHOULDN'T BE LIKE HIM.

@blue8931: "For nothing"? For boosting his math skills exponentially and later in life receiving a gates scholarship? Your dad is not...ummm..really that with it.
