Biography

I am a grade 7 student and I attend Jeanne Sauvé French Immersion Public School. I know 3 languages; English, Arabic and French. I was born in Newcastle Up-On-Tyne, England. I have lived in Canada since I was four years old and had the opportunity to travel to a number of other countries. Outside of school, I enjoy playing the clarinet, reading, writing, soccer, running, tennis, basketball and volleyball. Some clubs I participate in at school are band, robotics, math, cross-country and track and field. This is my first Canada Wide Science Fair. My favourite quote: ” If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run, yours is the earth and everything that`s in it”, Rudyard Kipling.
