| My name is Daniel O’Reilly, I am a grade 9, Principals list student. I am looking forward to attending my third CWSF. I love music and play classical piano - grade 6 repertoire, acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar and saxophone. I also play in the youth ministry music group at church and Jazz Band at school. In addition I also have completed the RCM theory. I also enjoy volleyball, basketball, running, soccer, downhill skiing, and hold an orange belt in judo. At the Central Interior Regional Science Fair my project won a gold medal, Best in Earth and Environment Sciences Category, the CANFOR Excellence in Forest Related Science, and the British Columbia Institute of Agrologists Award. This project was originally inspired by a story my grandfather told me. The best advice I can give to students that are thinking about doing a project is, “Just Do It" and the results could amaze you!” My career goal is to continue with sciences. |
