| I grew up in Victoria for the first 7 years of my life. The first school that I attended was a French Immersion pre-school, I was the very first child to sign up for this school which now has 52 children. My next school was Pacific Christian school, which I attended until grade 2. Then my parents moved to Prince George where I now attend Westside Academy. I was recognized by the RCMP and ICBC in Prince George for my science fair project in 2015 about distractive driving. I know that I will be going to post secondary school in the medical field, as this is my passion. I have won various awards in the numerous sports that I have played. Soccer is one of the main reasons I started this project, especially after seeing all the issues my teammates were having with concussions. I would like to continue my research so that I can help reduce the prevalence of concussions in youth athletes. |
