My name is Jessica Yang, and I’m from Richard Montgomery High School in a suburb of Washington, D.C. For fun, I play recreational soccer, bake desserts, and teach elementary school kids science through my nonprofit, Kids Are Scientists Too, Inc. I also enjoy reading various manga, managing our high school newspaper, and watching House. I like simple things, like walking in the rain or sitting on a patch of grass and reading. I’m really excited about attending MIT — but next semester, I think I could substitute the grass with a snow chair.
