Well, for starters, my name is Echo Mudro and I use they/them pronouns. I grew up and lived in the town of Braidwood, Illinois with my aunt, uncle and brother for ten years. I love all things books, art and music, and of course my friends, but also love to work in the wood-shop when I get the chance. If I you asked me what my favorite books are, I would tell you to ask me again in a hundred years because there are too many to choose from. Ever since I was a little kid, I was considered gifted in academics, and in April of 2019, I proved it to myself when I applied and was accepted to join the Illinois Math and Science Academy's Class of 2023. I have an amazing group of friends, at Reed Custer, and also friends I have made at camp, which I attend almost every summer. I hope to go to college and become something in the art field that involves science when I leave high school.
