My name is William (Will) Kellogg, and I am currently a senior at High Tech High International in San Diego, California. Writing became one of my greatest passions after I won a competitive writing contest in fifth grade. My interest was fueled when I became a published writer during eighth grade. I also became inspired and my writing skills flourished at both Brown's and Georgetown University's summer programs. My writing experience has expanded to encompass policy analyses during my congressional internship in Washington D.C., January of 2016. One of my other great passions is playing tennis as it is truly a character building sport that requires determination and persistence. These are two qualities I put into practice both on my school's varsity tennis team and outside of school at the club level.
