Hello. I’m currently a freshman in high school, and I’ve read Anthem, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. I found myself agreeing with many of the ideas presented therein, and entered into the Anthem essay contest. About a week ago I found this forum and started looking through the posts. I recently made this account, and I’m looking to learn more about Objectivist philosophy and read some of Ayn Rand’s nonfiction over the summer. Unrelated to Objectivism, I enjoy chess, ping-pong, biking and swimming. I’m hoping to major in philosophy and, after I pass my bar exam, become a lawyer. I’d like to become a regular around here, if only in the chat. ~NA
Welcome. 
You’re in luck, there is another chat regular that likes to play chess with other members online. Hehe. Nice to meet you and do stick around as you planned. 
Welcome to OO.net
Welcome, nice to see the youngsters getting into Objectivism.
