Our Mission:
Blurbz is a self-started organization by two high school students, committed to helping students reach greater heights in their academic and personal endeavors. In this day and age, students are struggling to find the resources they need to succeed. As students, we understand the struggle that others go through, so we have strove to create an inviting community for students to attain and engage with knowledge. We consider it a privilege to be able to help.
Our website is mainly consists of a student blog and podcast, however, it includes many forms of interactive media to help students: including chat services for academic support, instructional videos, external resources, course/book reviews, and more. Ultimately, this is a virtual space for students, by students.

David Sun
David is a sophomore at Langley High School in Northern VA. He is no stranger to feeling lost, confused, and overwhelmed in the competitive school environment we live in. As a result, he co-founded this website to help students confabulate and avoid pitfalls that he once fell in. Despite having many hobbies and interests, David really only cares about two things: music and boba.
