| Hi, my name is Mary-Lou Angidlik. I am from Rankin Inlet, Nunavut. I am in grade 10, at Maani Ulujuk Illinniarvik. I like listening to music, dancing, going for walks, shopping, and learning new things. This is my second time going to the CWSF. The first time I went to the CWSF was in 2007, and I was just about to turn 14 years old. I did my Science Fair project on Arctic Plant Medicine, and won an Agriculture/Agri-food award along with $500. My career plan for the future is to go to a college or university to study science. |
