| David - My name is David Moore. I am currently enrolled in Francis Libermann Catholic High School as a grade nine gifted student. I do a few after school activities which include piano and taekwondo. I am in grade 5 for piano and I am a third degree black belt in taekwondo. I am currently in a special MST program which is for advanced students in math, science and techology. This is the second year for me to be attending Canada Wide Science Fair, representing Toronto. Last year was a great experience and I hope that this year will be the same, if not better. I wish to persue the career of a chemist when I am older. | | Thomas - Thomas Alvares is a grade 9 student who lives in the great city of Toronto.
