My name is Alyssa LaRoche and I am a fifteen year old girl who lives in Manchester, NH. I enjoy kick boxing, ballet, and reading in my spare time. Kick boxing is an excellent way to work out your aggressions and challenge you physically. Each time you begin a new class or round, you take on a new challenge. Ballet is just as challenging physically, but it involves more controlled, planned actions, especially in long dances whether it involves classical or modern ballet.

This year I am spending six weeks in two summer programs, one concerning math and marine science and the other concerning geopolitics. I heard about the math and marine science program in my geometry class, and since I have spent my past two summers in humanities classes, I decided to dabble in the sciences and mathematics.

So far, I have enjoyed the program immensely and would recommend it to others.
