About Me!!

I love anything regarding New Jersey and American Politics. I have been doing Model UN since 8th grade and have attended 2 advanced committees. I am a native Polish speaker, and have experience translating articles and papers for my high school. I am looking to one day publish a book about American political science as a passion project, as well as compose a few viola pieces for fun. I created my username in fifth grade when I was sick and had to pick a Minecraft gamertag. It overlaps my name, "Abi" and the medicine "Ibuprofen". I was born on April 5th 2009, and I wish to major in political science. I have been playing violin since second grade, and have recently swapped over to viola in 7th.
