PROBLEM.

IT SO MUCH SHE WON A SPECIAL
AWARD.
CORE IS GETTING TO KNOW THIS
BRILLIANT GIRL.
SHE REPRESENTS LIBERTY HIGH
SCHOOL, KENDELL SUTTON IS THE
TRIG STAR.
GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
GOOD MORNING.
TRIG STAR IS A MATH
COMPETITION BUT IT FOCUSES ON
TRIGONOMETRY.
I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS.
WHAT EXACTLY IS TRIGONOMETRY
AND HOW GOOD ARE YOU AT ANGRY
BIRDS.
TRIGONOMETRY IS THE STUDY OF
TRIANGLES, THEIR ANGLES AND HOW
THEY FIT IN IN THE WORLD.
AND I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT ANGRY
BIRDS.
I WAS WONDERING IF YOUR
KNOWLEDGE OF TRIGONOMETRY HELPS
WITH PLAYING THAT GAME BUT NOT
AT ALL HUH.
NO.
HOW DID THE COMPETITION GO
WITH COVID-19 HAS JUST CHANGED
EVERYTHING.
SO HOW DID YOU DO THE
COMPETITION IN THE FIRST PLACE?
MY MOM IS FRIENDS WITH THE
TRIG STAR COORDINATOR FOR THE
SCHOOL AND SHE OFFERED THE TEST
TO ME TO BE TAKEN.
AND SO, THE DAY THAT I TOOK THE
TEST IN EARLY JUNE RIGHT AFTER
AP TEST, WE SAT AT THE KITCHEN
TABLE AND I TOOK THE TEST ON
PAPER AND THEN SHE, SHE TOOK A
PICTURE OF IT AND SENT IT IN.
OKAY.
SO WHEN IT COMES TO MATH.
OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT
IT.
IS THIS SOMETHING YOU WANT TO
TAKE INTO YOUR FUTURE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU
GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL?
I WOULD LOVE TO GET MY
BACHELORS DEGREE IN
ARCHITECTURE.
IT'S PERFECT.
BECAUSE I LOVE BUILDING.
AND JUST SEEING THE DIFFERENT
BUILDINGS COMING UP IS REALLY
COOL AND I WANT TO BE A PART OF
THAT.
OKAY, SO ANGRY BIRD NOT YOUR
THING.
WHAT ABOUT LEGOS HOW ARE YOU
WITH LEGOS?
I LOVE LEGOS.
I LOVE IT.
THAT'S SO GREAT.
SO WHAT ARE YOUR SIDE HOBBIES
ASIDE FROM BEING A STELLAR
STUDENT.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU LIKE TO DO?
I LOVE TO CROTCHET.
I LOVE TO BUILD WITH LEGOS.
LOOK AT THIS.
S THAT SO COOL.
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO
PUT THAT TOGETHER?
A DAY.
ONE DAY.
YEAH THAT WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME
THREE MONTHS AND IT STILL.
IT WOULDN'T BE FINISHED.
THREE MONTHS AND A COUPLE OF
CURSE WORDS LATER.
ARE YOUR PARENTS ALSO MATH
WHIZZES.
MY MOM IS A MATH TEACHER.
TRIGONOMETRY AND CALCULUS ARE
SOME OF HER FAVORITE THINGS.
WHEN IT COMES TO TRIG STAR
DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD
RATE HIGHER THAN YOUR MOM AT
THIS POINT?
JUST ASKING?
GOOD QUESTION, GOOD
QUESTION.
I LOVE IT SHE'S LIKE I'M GOING
TO PLEAD THE FIFTH BECAUSE MY
MOM IS RIGHT HERE.
MOM IS WORKING THE CAMERA.
SMART LADY BEYOND THE MATH
SCORES.
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU THIS IS
A PHENOMENAL FEAT YOU'VE
ESTABLISHED.
