Biography
My name is Mahidul Syed, and am attending Centennial Regional High School, secondary 4. I live with both my parents and with my older sister along with my younger brother. In the future I would like to continue in sciences, perhaps even in medicine. My interests lay in the sciences, and through my free time I play hockey. Both my parents are from Bangladesh and their culture and religion greatly affects my personal life. I give great importance to my religion, and respect my culture for what it is. Many of the activities that I do through out my free time relate to my culture and religion. My parents come from large families, allowing me to have many cousins. Our large family allows for many family gathers throughout the summer, and these gatherings are personally very enjoyable. I adore my siblings due to great amount of work and support they provide me with. Their love and participation in my life has allowed me to go to great distance with my life; for example the Canada Wide Science Fair. My family plays a very important roll in my life, and I would be a nobody without them.
