My name is Niels P. Zussblatt, though most people call me "Z" since I have the honor of being the only Academy student with that letter starting my last name. I get annoyed whenever anything is done alphabetically as a result.

Pre-Academy
I was born in New York in 1990, and moved to Missouri in 1993.
Before the Academy I went to Parkway Central High School in Chesterfield, MO. There were about 300 people in my class. At PCHS I was on the Student Council, and a member of both the Academic Team as well as Science Olympiad. I felt bored most of the time while there, so I decided to come here. I was really looking forward to coming here until I got my acceptance letter and actually realized I would be leaving the few friends I had at my school. If you are someone who is a prospective student of the Academy, let me tell you that you can keep your friends at home and meet the wonderful people here.

"Methyl Ethyl Ketones"
Methyl-ethyl ketones: little chemical compounds made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.
- Oh, I wish I was a methyl-ethyl-ketone,
- That is what I truly want to be,
- For if I was a methyl-ethyl-ketone,
- Everyone would want to bond with me,
- But I know I'm not a methyl-ethyl-ketone,
- That is something I could never be,
- But if I was a methyl-ethyl-ketone,
- I'd be really, really tiny.
Other Thoughts
- The Academy can get boring on weekends
- The rooms aren't as small as they seem; there is plenty of space for 2 people
- Classes and work aren't too bad, just don't fall behind
- Pay attention in classes and studying is easy, don't pay attention at your own risk!
- Get out of your room or off your computer; go talk to people!
- Everyone hates the University laptops ("crap-tops"), but if you aren't too computer savvy, they work just fine most of the time.
- Join Organizations and Clubs; I'm in:
- Model United Nations
- MASMAbots (Robotics)
- Astronomy Club
- Chess/Go Club
- Adventure Club
