v.64.48.36

Major renovations to projects and blog pages

Important

Hi there. Alex speaking. This is the last release on my website that will be published while I still represent the Red and Black of Bridgewater-Raritan. v.64.48.36 is a truly special release that has been months in the making, with major updates and brand new storylines. I'm moving away from Bridgewater as this release is being published. I wanted to share some thougts on my time at BR. At BRMS, Eisenhower, and Hamilton, I had the time of my life, learning things in and out of the classroom, making strong friends and vital connections, and reaching new heights that without BR, I would have thought were impossible to achieve. Bridgewater-Raritan turned me from a shy little kid into a leader, a captain, and someone who breaks records and wins championships. More importantly, I learned a lot of life lessons that I still hold on dearly at Bridgewater. The friends I made throughout my educational career at BR are deep connections who will likely stay with me forever. I hope I left a lasting legacy and impact on the BR community, and some highlights of my time here include 2x Science Bowl Silver Medals (all time Bridgewater-Raritan record), being a key member and captain of the Math Team that found quite a bit of success these past two years, and co-founding the beloved Bridgewater-Raritan Computer Science Club that gave many of my fellow students a brighter path into computer science and coding and will continue to live on. I've gained a lot of valuable memories at BRMS and my childhood Bridgewater home, and I'm tremendously sad I have to part ways. If I were to tell my 7 year old self of all that has become of myself by the time I graduated from 8th grade, I would be astonished and starstruck. It's been a dream here and will always be. Love you always, Alexander Sheng. ❤️🖤 🎓
