100m
Start, drive, hold. A race short enough that every step is a decision.
Greenwich High School · 9th Grade · Freshman
Thomas Lange
Fifteen. Curious. Trying to understand the unknown.
I like to consume knowledge and ask questions about my surroundings — computers, races, old books, new science, and the world itself.
01 — About
A freshman who wants the full picture.
I'm Thomas. I'm 15, a freshman at Greenwich High School, and I spend a lot of time figuring out how things work. Not just the answers — the mechanisms. Why a program runs. Why a race is won in the last ten meters. Why a sentence written two thousand years ago still lands.
I like math because it is honest. I like science because it is willing to be wrong. I like stories because they keep questions alive after the facts run out.
02 — Code
Computers, on purpose.
I write Python, JavaScript, and CSS. I like learning how computers actually work — not just clicking buttons until something happens. Sometimes I vibe code: sit down with an idea and build until it exists.
$
- Python Logic, scripts, and the first language that made a computer feel like a tool I could actually hold.
- JavaScript The part of the web that moves. I like making pages do something, not just sit there.
- CSS Design is another kind of problem. Shape, space, type — then make it hold together on a phone.
03 — Track
Short races. Honest work.
I run the 100 and the 200. I also work out and train because I want my body to keep up with my mind. Sprint work is simple: you get what you put in, and the clock does not care about excuses.

200m
Speed plus patience. The curve, then the fight to stay tall at the end.
03
Training
Lifting, running, showing up. Exercise is how I stay sharp off the track too.
04 — Library
Old epics, strange futures.
I read Greek epics and Shakespearean plays. I also like sci-fi. One side of the shelf is thousands of years old. The other side is asking what happens if we get the future wrong — or right.
The Iliad
The Odyssey
Hamlet
Macbeth
Julius Caesar
Sci-Fi
The Bible
A working shelf, not a finished one. I keep adding to it.
05 — Mind
Problems, people, and the unknown.
Math
I like figuring out problems. Math is a clean place to think: if the work is right, the answer holds.
Science
I want to know how the world is put together — from machines on a desk to systems too big to see.
Economics Club
At GHS I am part of the Economics Club. Another way of asking why people choose what they choose.
Games
I like to play video games. Worlds with rules you can learn, then break, then learn again.
06 — Faith
I am Christian.
I read the Bible. Faith is not a side project for me — it is part of how I look at the world, the same way I look at code or a race or a hard problem: with attention.
My goal in life is to understand the unknown about the world.
