<dt>At high school, how did you fare in mathematics and physical sciences? Which were your strongest subjects in the hard sciences, and how did you rank in your class?</dt>
<dd>
<p>I did quite well at math and science in high school. In terms of harder sciences, though, I excelled primarily at biology. Having vastly enjoyed my initial biology class at the high school level. I quickly made my way up to the AP/IB level biology where I was keenly interested in biochemistry.</p>
<p>Beyond that, however, I also excelled computer science, having performed at the top of my class in Pascal (oh, my aching bones), C++, and the HTML/JavaScript class thta was offered there.</p>
</dd>
<dt>What sort of high school student were you? Outside of required work, what were your interests and hobbies?</dt>
<dd>I was very much a nerd. I dug quickly into computers and choir as my primary interests. For computers, I quickly wound up joining the web team, which helped maintain the school&rsquo;s webpage, and server admin for the two Linux (Debian, if I remember correctly) servers that served to manage personal sites for the web team and the members of the HTML/JavaScript class. I also enjoyed Latin enough to make my own imperial toga so that I could recite my Cicero in style.</dd>
<dt>At high school, what leadership roles did you take on?</dt>
<dd>As mentioned, I was a member of the web team, a group of students supervised by the physic teacher who maintained both internal and external aspects of the school&rsquo;s site. The site itself was built up from a combination of Perl and Server-Side Includes.</dd>
