Maharishi School senior Laser Nite has qualified as a National Merit semi-finalist.

Motivated by his idea that ?that knowledge can be applied to make the experience of consciousness more fulfilling and blissful,? Nite has been rewarded by this academic association.

A total of 1,600 students are designated semi-finalists each year.

Nite says he would like to study science, engineering and business. He also is intrigued by the idea of collaboration on a web-based start-up company, ?people work together synergistically to create fantastic products, and it a really fun process.? Nite said he wants to ?engage in creative progress towards greater happiness through expressing knowledge that helps people, and thus fulfills me.?
