Aarthi Sivasankar

Hello! My name is Aarthi Sivasankar. I enjoy doing many things and have many hobbies. Some of my hobbies are reading and drawing. I also have been taking Classical Indian Vocal Carnatic music for 10 years. I love to sing as it is one of my many passions! In 2006, I had received a certificate after participating at my first Carnatic music concert. I also take an extra math class for Algebra and Geometry at the Russian School of Mathematics (RSM). Currently, this is my 4th year going to RSM. From 2006-2012, I had participated in Girl Scouts. As a girl scout, we had done several community service projects, such as harvesting at the Community Barn in Grafton MA, donating canned foods to the local Worcester County Food Bank, MA, and making blankets for the children at the Children's Hospital in Boston, MA and for local animal shelters. As for sports, in 2005, I was on the Grafton Soccer Team. At the end of our very last game, I had received a trophy for participating in the soccer team. Other than soccer, I also swim and occasionally play tennis. I had also participated at an Indian speech contest in 2013. At the New England Tamil Sangam in 2013, I had won a 2nd place medal in a speech contest where we had to recite Tamil phrases from memory. In Summer 2014, during my 8th grade summer vacation,I had done some volunteering at my middle school. I helped all the teachers organize the middle school for the incoming 7th and 8th graders. I had received a reward from my assistant principal for successfully volunteering at the school for 8 hours in total. Currently, since my freshmen year in high school, I am in the Worcester County Math League (WOCOMAL). I compete in both Freshmen and Varsity math meets.
