My name is Harrison Chan. I am a sixteen year old junior in the second graduating class of ECHS. I came to ECHS because it appeared to be a great opportunity to get the upper hand in college applications. I am a person who likes to plan things out. I am very optimistic for the goals I have set, some of which extend well into the future. In my fourth year at ECHS I plan to apply to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Michigan. In college, I hope to double major in aerospace engineering and physics. Also, I may minor in business for an added credential on my resume.
Some of my hobbies include tinkering with computer hardware and software, radio control (RC) gadgets, and target shooting. In my spare time, I will search around on the web and add and remove menageries of programs to my computer changing it's appearance and often improving its functionality. With RC gadgets, it is the simple thrill of flying a plane or driving a buggy through its courses that are extremely fun.
My skills cover a variety of fields, some which I have only elementary knowledge of, and some of which I excel in. For instance, I am a decent web programmer, able to produce a complete simple website with ease. Electronics and mechanics are another specialty. I can rig up motors and various parts to produce a variety of useful contraptions. These skills I believe will help me in designing aerospace projects.
