Hi everyone, I just started high school this Sept and it’s really going well. So much easier than everyone said it would be – a fun time with more interesting work to do and making new friends is always good.

Right now I am also preparing for the World Youth Chess Championship in UAE very seriously!

Every chance I get I am studying chess and making the time each day. Perhaps about 2+ hours, which doesn’t sound much, but there is the weekends too.

I hope I make it. Part of the struggle is making the funds and I hope that I can get some support as well as fundraising by myself when I get time. I’m grateful to the publics support and every $1 helps, so thanks!

When I get my website up and running properly with a different template and blogging possibilities, I’d like to share more links and stories from people in the community and around the world.

bye for now

Ashley
