Biography
My name is Adrain Howie, I'm 16 years old and I live in Halifax Nova Scotia. I'm in grade 10 at Citadel High. I have lived in Halifax most of my life except for grades 5 and 6, when I lived in Ottawa. My favorite sports are tennis and football. I play and coach tennis year round, and was on the provincial champion high school football team. I am active in my community and in my church. I also play the double bass in a string ensemble. I did the regional science fair for four years now, and this is the third time going to nationals.
