| My name is Gary Kurek, I was born and raised in the rural community of Bonnyville Alberta. I am in grade 11 attending Bonnyville Centralized High School. A few of my interests include science, fitness, politics, history, sports, and the arts. Many of my science related accomplishments include 4 CWSFs (including 2009), an Alberta Science and Technology Award, Press conferences with Albertan government and business leaders, and recognition of my inventions from some of Canada's leading medical researchers. I enjoy fitness and health very much. I exercise almost 2 hours every day and when I was 15 I successfully developed effective natural treatments for people suffering from weight issues and severe acne problems. I enjoy music and the arts and have taken lead roles in 3 musical productions. I have been in dance for a few years and enjoy singing as well. I participate in volleyball, basketball, rowing, and track. I love breathtaking scenery and the world's natural beauty, it is a great way for me to relax and relieve stress. In the future I aspire to be an engineer or physician and plan to invent helpful products and run a company. I also have a strong interests in politics. |
