On November 12, 2015 I attended the Veterans Day Jazz free form concert held at CBC’s choir room. This was the first time I ever went through the music/art building and it was pretty cool.

There was a total of three high schools performing and of course CBC. The high…

Seeing that I was not only an eager student, but a capable one, prompted the teacher to ask if I would like to do more complex experiments and present…
