Hi, My name is Malik Neal. I absolutely hate writing about myself, so please bear with me. I am a 16 year old junior at West Catholic High School in Philadelphia. My interest include hanging out with friends, writing, politics, history, reading, debate, and most passionately eating. I am president of my high school's World Affairs club and a active member of the mock trial team. I also write for my school's newspaper and worked on various political campaigns. I have three younger sisters (so I always look forward to getting out the house.)
