Hey I'm Aditya
About Me
I'm a rising senior at the Quarry Lane School who is studying a bit of everything. At school I enjoy English and Spanish. In my free time I like writing, doing research, playing percussive guitar, and casually playing chess. When I'm in the wild you'll probably hear me ask someone "How's it going?" :)
