Dylan Field - April 2, 2005
Hi, my name is Dylan Field and I am currently preparing for my
Bar Mitzvah on April 2nd.
For my Tikkun Olam project I tutored a younger child in reading
and math during the entirety of last summer. I also taught a select
group of 5th graders about the natural world at Bouverie Preserve
in Glen Ellen where I am a junior docent.
Right now I am finishing up my last year at Creekside Middle School
in Rohnert Park and am planning to attend Technology High in the
fall. I love to learn and although I like all my subjects (except
spelling) my favorites are English and History. Along with wrestling,
I am also in two clubs at my school- Math Counts and Robotics Club.
Math Counts is a nationwide middle school math program designed
to (as the name implies) show that "math counts." This
year our school won second in the team competition, a challenge
where the four best students in the club do ten extremely hard problems
in twenty minutes. In fact, you might have even seen a recent photograph
of the team in the Community Voice.
Robotics club, which I am Team Captain of, is a program sponsored
primarily by the North Bay Technology Round Table. In the club we
build robots out of various Lego pieces in order to complete a specific
task. We then program the robots and test them. Last year, my team
won first place when facing over thirty other teams from all around
Sonoma County. Hopefully this year we will also be victorious.
Adding to the humanities, math and engineering I have other interests
as well. These include acting, singing, athletics, politics and
psychology along with other various hobbies. I live with my Mom
(Beth), Dad (Andy), Dog (Zoey, also referred to as "Da Zoester")
and Cat (Hermi, short for Hermione) in Penngrove.
Hope to see you at my Bar Mitzvah!
