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.
