Hi, I'm Anandavel Sakthi and I'm a junior(and captain) at IA East! This is my 6th year competing and my 3th year writing, though my tests are still diabolical. My favorite events are Sounds of Music, Codebusters, and Remote Sensing. Outside of SciOly you can find me speaking to the trees(or getting my knees broken by the lorax), devouring some noodles and co, or playing music. May the odds be ever in your favor and I hope you enjoy Rickards!
