| My name is Krishshain Nathan. I am a grade nine honors student. I go to King's Edge-hill School in Windsor, NS. I like to ski, play soccer and rugby. I volunteer at a nursing home every Monday and at a hospital on Saturdays. My hobbies are painting, experimenting and playing video games. My main interest in school is the science of the human body. I am planning to become a surgeon. Last year (2013) I got gold at regionals and I qualified to go to nationals and got bronze. This year I got gold at regionals and best health project and multiple other awards. My inspiration for my project "Asafoetida: The Miracle Herb" came when I found the scientific community has no idea what this powerful digestive herb can do. I have found that this herb can cure many digestive illnesses, that affect people across the world. Further investigations include testing this herb against more dangerous illnesses. The best advice I could give to someone doing a project is never give up, hard work and persistence always pays off. |
