School has given me lots of opportunities to explore my passion for STEM subjects and to challenge myself in both local and national competitions. For example, my team came third in the UK finals of the Quiz Club Science Quiz, which was a really exciting experience. I also got into coding during lockdown as a hobby, and that interest has grown into something much bigger—I've ranked top students in the country in the National BEBRAS Coding Competition. I’m really thankful for the support and encouragement from my teachers. They take the time to get to know us individually and always inspire us to follow our interests, both through extra-curricular clubs and activities beyond school.
