My name is Daniel Jeyaraj and I attend Turnbull School in Ottawa, Ontario. I am 13 years old and I was born in the UK and moved to Canada after finishing grade 1. At school, my two favourite subjects are math and science. I prefer these subjects because they are vast, mysterious, and extremely interesting. I pursue these interests through reading, extracurricular activities, and imagination. Besides that, I enjoy music at both school and at home. I enjoy playing the clarinet in my school band and I take music lessons in both piano and theory. My favourite hobby is reading. I read various genres in literature, but I prefer dystopian, fantasy, sci-fi, and various non-fiction literature. My favourite novel is Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game. I have a black belt in Taekwondo and participate in my local church as an altar server. I love travelling with my parents and have been to many countries around the world. I am honoured and privileged to represent my school at the CWSF. |

Défi: | Découverte | Catégorie: | Junior | Région: | Ottawa | Ville: | Ottawa, ON | École: | Turnbull School | Sommaire: | The purpose of my project is to find which condition will delay ripening and prevent ethylene production in bananas the longest.
