Application Essay To Study At The Toronto Science Fair

Exploring the halls of Scarborough Grace Hospital, intrigued by how certain stations were set up and countless carts and stretchers wheeling different items and patients, I desired to know how every machine worked, what each piece of equipment did, and the treatment each patient needed. As a child, I always yearned to know the unknown. In middle school, despite many topics being taught, nothing was able to satiate my desire to learn.

Through this experience, I improved my ability to conduct research, summarize findings, and most importantly, discovered that copious amounts of learning happens outside of the classroom.

I yearned to know more, thus I enrolled in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics this year. One topic that has intrigued me is heredity and the inner workings of human genetics. Specifically, I am captivated by the idea of genetic engineering and creating humans with ideal traits. This captivation has led me to devote large portions of my time into the fields of technology/engineering and biology, as seen in my extracurricular involvement. I am the co-founder and co-president of Woburn’s Neuroscience club, which focuses on preparing students for the University of Toronto Brain Bee competition. Additionally, I am the Head of Technology of Woburn’s STEM club, a club that explores different aspects of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. I am a student instructor in Woburn’s Programming Enrichment Group, a club that teaches various programming concepts to students. Moreover, I am a general member of the BioMed club, Robotics, DECA, and Table
