| Tanya - Interested in all aspects of science, especially biology and psychology. Also an avid writer, and work as dedicated Editor-in-Chief of the school newspaper. Plan to go into either science or writing (or both) in the future. Free time is spent writing, watching movies, and hanging out with friends. | | Shreya - I am currently a grade 11 student with various interests and skills, ranging from debate team and writing for the school newspaper to public speaking and dramatic productions. I have always had deep interest in both science and arts, though my current post-secondary and career plans consist of pursuing a specialized field in health sciences. I take an active role in my school and community, helping organize charity events, doing regular volunteer work, peer counselling and formal tutoring. Although I am generally a very diligent and ambitious person, I sometimes enjoy simply relaxing on weekends with a good book, practicing violin, web/graphics designing, or spending quality time with friends and family. I speak three languages, adore travel, and aspire to publish a successful novel someday. Discovering new things, meeting new people, and all sorts of learning are always welcome experiences to me. |
