DILLON THOMAS HEDGES


Dillon is 14 years old now and has just begun his Freshman year at Rancho Bernardo High School. He's doing very well (4 A's & 2 B's last semester) and enjoys Spanish class. He's also enjoying playing soccer for the competitive FC San Diego team. Here's an Aug09 article in San Diego Soccer News about him. We've kept some of his past accomplishments, and here's his Math teachers note about his 6th Grade work in Middle School. And here's his cool Photo Journalism project. Back in 5th Grade he wrote his autobiography for a class project which gives good insight into his state of mind in mid-2005. And in January 2006 he wrote a poem for a class assignment, based on an emotion that he had to describe, called the Angry Poem, done tongue-in-cheek, as like his dad, he's not an early-riser. Here's his 5th Grade progress report when he made the Merit Award list for both semesters.

Dillon learned to solve the Rubik's Cube at 9 years old and even competed at the National Rubik's Cube Convention at CalTech in 2005, solving the puzzle in 52 seconds! His best time ever was 45 seconds. His teacher was Rachel's old boyfriend Adam Zamora.
