student at Terakki Foundation Schools

I am a Grade 10 student at Terakki Foundation Schools. I love doing gymnastics and dancing. I am also interested in playing the guitar. I am fond of biology, especially genetics, so I am trying to improve myself especially in these subjects and even entered a competition about genetics. In my free time I love reading books because I think that it is very important to broaden my imagination. I am an ambitious student who is planning to study abroad at a prominent university. The major I want to pursue is genetic science and I want to be a scientist who will work hard to help eradicate genetic disorders. To be able to achieve my goal, I am ready to dedicate my whole energy and time to my academic studies. In the future, I would like to work in a job which is related to biology because my aim is to save lives by using the latest technology. I believe my experience today will help me boost my morale and enthusiasm.
