My Friend and I at a Mathnasium Math Contest

I tied for first with my friend, Aresh, in a math competition.  I got second, because of a tie-breaker with him, and he got first.  I think they should always have a back-up medal (they are made of real metal!).  I really doubt that they are real silver and gold metals, but it is still obviously metal, which I think is cool. 

It was a surprise meeting my friend, Aresh, even though he is extremely good at math and is probably going to a lot of math competitions.  He is very friendly, and yet that is only partly why I like him.  I also like him because I can discuss math subjects with him and he would understand.  We are almost at the same grade in math.
