| My name is Sandro Young, and I am in grade eleven at Lisgar Collegiate Institute. I am interested in math, science, electronics, and computing. I participated in the Science Fair last year as well, and was awarded Best Intermediate Project. I experiment with electronics and write computer programs in my free time. My team recently came first in the regional ECOO computer contest. I play piano at the Grade 9 level. I enjoy skiing (both cross country and downhill), swimming, cycling, and paddling. I am on my school's cross-country running and skiing team. I am an avid reader, and I love to travel. I have been to Italy, France, Portugal, Australia, Mexico, Hawaii, and the Caribbean, and I hope to visit many more places in the future! |
