|---|
| I suppose I consider myself to be multi talented. This will be my third year as a CWSF finalist; I have won the Best in Fair award from the North Western Ontario Regional Science Fair for three years in a row. At last year's CWSF, I won the AECL award of excellence in science as well as an honourable mention in my division. I'm also in grade 8 piano and will be competing at provincials later this year. I've been awarded medals for excellence (best in Ontario) for Theory 1 and Piano 7. I'm a member of Hammarskjold's cross-country running and badminton teams, and enjoy soccer, skiing, and cycling. For the past few years, I have been an active and enthusiastic participant in my community, participating in over 5 organizations including the Youth Advisory Council, Citizens Concerned About Pesticides, the Natural Helpers, Kids Help Phone, and Youth With an Open Mind. I'm always looking for a challenge, and I'm definitely looking forward to this year's CWSF. |
