| My name is Maria Janisz and I am in grade eight at Aurora Academic Charter School in Edmonton, Alberta. I am an academic honors student with a passion for science, music, and sports. I have won many awards and competitions in these disciplines including academic awards, science fairs, and music festivals. Along with my school achievements, I take part in many extra-curricular activities. From a young age, I have played competitive soccer and am currently at a very high level, hopefully on my way to playing on a university team. I am also talented in the musical arts as I play the piano and take singing lessons, while also performing in my community. Together with attending Saturday Polish School, since I am also fluent in Polish, I lead a fairly busy life and am never bored with all my activities. In the future, I would like to pursue a career in biology. |
