Introduction

Hi! I'm asthedeer from Pilgrimage Homeschool from Maryland !

PHasthedeer attends Pilgrimage Homeschool.

MDasthedeer competes in Maryland.

Well, the team name is pretty much self explanatory, but I'm homeschooled. I'm in 11th grade this year and in my fourth year of Science Olympiad and second year of competing in the C Division.

Biography

I am a homeschooled Christian photographer, crafter, knitter, blogger, baker, musician, and Science Olympian who likes cooking, reading, and making stuff in general. In short, a person with many interests. My website is at- rockandminerals4him.wordpress.com

You may know my better as sqq100 or rockandminerals4Him. I chose the name because of Science Olympiad- my favorite event was (and is!) Rocks and Minerals, and I started a website in order to allow people to learn about Rocks and Minerals as well. However, in the process of creating the website, I made a small typo. Instead of RocksandMinerals4Him, as originally planned, I became Rockand Minerals4Him. I now have built quite a good sized internet identity around the name.

If you Google “Rockand Minerals4Him”, you can get quite a large amount of (too much) stuff about me. :P
