Hi! I’m a 15-year-old student from Alabama who loves learning and helping others succeed. I’m joining Schoolhouse to strengthen my skills, especially in math and science, and to connect with other students who are passionate about learning too. I’m excited to be part of a supportive community where we can grow and achieve our goals together! I'm not in college yet but I'm taking a pre-med school at Harvard!
