Regular updates from students in TRIP

A TRIP Down Memory Lane by Nicholas Mento

Hello, my name is Nicholas Mento. I am 15 years old and I am a Sophomore at William Tennent High School in Warminster, PA. I hope to be an aerospace engineer. I am interested in engineering because math and science are my two favorite subjects and I wanted a career that let me use my passion for both. I wanted to be involved in TRIP because it seemed like a great opportunity to have hands-on experience and improve my knowledge. In my spare time I enjoy playing strategy board games with my friends and younger brother, as well as  watching Philadelphia sports teams. I also enjoy traveling with my family to new places and playing with my dog

At my high school, I tend to stay busy with numerous extracurricular activities. I am the President of my school’s Environmental Club. Last year for this club, I was in charge of planting 200 trees in our community. I do Lincoln Debate for my school’s debate team as well as having played Soccer and participating in Student Government. I am also an anchor on my school’s announcements, the Treasurer for both Athletic Council and my grade level officers. As for honors societies I am the Vice President of SNHS, and a member of both NHS and Mu Alpha Theta. I also compete in the IAC National Science Bee Championships and Ignite STEM competitions. I also enjoy giving back to people in need in my community. I started my own fundraiser and raised over $1000 from my church to help my local food bank. Also, when I appeared on the local TV-show Class-H-Room I donated a portion of the winnings to help people in Ukraine.  I enjoy being involved and staying busy because it allows me to meet many new people and forge new friendships. I never would have met any of my best friends if I wasn’t as involved. 
Finally, I look forward to TRIP this year because not only is it a great opportunity and experience to learn more, but I get to meet new people from different schools and backgrounds and connect with them and forge friendships.
