BEING MORTAL Research Project

ABOUT The CREATOR
My name is Ben Anderson. I am 16 years old, and attend Washburn High School. I live with my parents, brother, sister, and dog. I have lived in Minneapolis for my entire life. I'm very passionate about tennis and alpine ski racing. I really enjoy math and science; I like that there is a right or a wrong answer. In my free time I like to spend time with friends, read, mess around on a computer, or be outside.
I have had positive experiences with technology and design. I debuted my first website for History Day in seventh grade. I also have taken over managing the Washburn Tennis Website and keeping that up to date. I have also done a little work with graphic design and visual effects. I'm very comfortable with technology and help my family make the most out of it on a day to day basis.
As a reader, I tend to enjoy fictional works, especially mysteries or thrillers. I really like novels written by John Grisham and Agatha Christie. There are some science fiction novels that I enjoy as well, however, some are a little outlandish and ridiculous in my opinion. I do enjoy some nonfiction readings as well. A few notable nonfiction works I've read have been The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls and Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand.
