My name is Kathy Wei, and I am a sophomore currently attending Ridge High School as part of the graduating class of 2020. At Ridge, I participate in a variety of different activities that all have provided me with significant achievements. On the National Honors French Society, I was accepted and gained the title of Officer of Public Relations, and we recently received an award of recognition at the Montclair University French Film Festival. I was accepted into the National Honors Art Society as well, and have had a variety of artworks featured in several different shows around NJ this year. The Mock Trial team at my school can also be defined as an accomplishment, as we gained placement as one of the top 4 teams in New Jersey this year after weeks of competing. On the forensics team, my most memorable achievements have been placing first at the National George Mason University Patriots Game, as well as placing first at States.
