| Biography |
|---|
| I am a secondary V student passionate about science and communication. I've discovered recently how closely both are linked: we need people to communicate to the world discoveries and scientific informations, anything that can help the public comprehend the world it lives in. I long to discover the world and all its wonders, and that is why I'v registered in a double DEC (in CEGEP) next year: I want to see the world from both a cultural and a scientific point of view. I've always been a very strong academic student, aiming for perfection in everything I do. However, I never do anything just because it would look good on a résumé. My motto is quite simple, actually: Take something you like - anything, even if it may seem dull, pointless or too "easy" - and transform it into something that's worthy of the best résumé in town. I think my project reflects that motto perfectly well: this subject might seem too simple to some, but the heart and the hard work that I put in it make it so much more interesting than if I'd taken a subject just because it sounded "intelligent". |

In fact, if you are able to turn a very liquid mixture into the best cake on this planet, it's all because of the chemical reactions. Understanding the latters will allow you to master the most difficult and easy techniques of baking. |
