skills were finally being applied to my passion of robotics. Hopefully, our team can break our final barrier,
and win the world championship this year.

Another major
Everything in my life had perfectly modeled the stereotypical nerd: poor posture, obsession with CS, and
having more screen time on my calculator. Three months ago, however, I finally broke this mold
by founding my school's cricket club. After a wrist fracture had brought my competitive career to a complete
standstill, I was determined to I was determined to get back into the sport I loved somehow.
When I realized that a school with nearly 600 Desi students had no cricket team, I started
the Plano East Cricket Club with a few friends. Unlike the competitive teams I had played in,
this club would play with a softer taped-tennis ball, reducing the need for equipment (and costs).
At first, the club started as a way to rally the cricket-players within the school, but a lack of attendance
opened the club towards complete beginners. It proved a daunting task to not only play, but to also teach
the sport as a semi-coach, and I was learning new coaching methods to keep practices engaging. As we play our
games, we have always been severe underdogs (and lose terribly), but our team's growth from complete scratch
gives me a sense of closure in continuing the sport I suddenly left. \\\\
In addition to helping my school community learn cricket, I have also sought to help the larger community
through my school's National Honor Society (NHS). In a competitive application process, I was fortunate enough to be
selected as the NHS technology officer for the largest chapter in the world. In this role, I have sought to
modernize our chapter's operations through technology. By developing and maintaining a custom hours logging
portal, I have streamlined the process of tracking service hours for over 1300 members. By combining my
coding skills with my passion for service, I have been able to make a tangible impact on my community.
As we continue to develop QR-code based check-ins and AI-powered event recommendations, I am excited to further
enhance our NHS operations through technology.
