When I was a sixth grader, I participated in a mass awareness campaign against Cancer and AIDS which lasted for 10 days. I was actively involved in fund-raising and was awarded a Certificate of Recognition for Outstanding Social Service. The certificate can be found below.
I care about Women Empowerment, with an emphasis on Women in Science and Technology. Recently, an article I wrote, titled, "An Opinion Does Not Have a Gender", has been accepted in my School's annual magazine. It emphasizes on the importance of women being able to voice their opinions with confidence and dignity.
I did one year of school (7th grade) in Colfax K-8, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. There, I was selected to attend a program for encouraging school girls to pursue Computer Science, organized by Carnegie Mellon University (see here). It was a very encouraging event and my interest in computer science and technology got enhanced by attending this event.
I also care a lot about justice towards animals. Every living creature deserves to be treated with respect and it is the duty of us human beings to guarantee that respect to them. Having grown up mostly in India, it hurts me to see so many stray animals like dogs and cows, weak and sickly, with no one to care for them. I dream that one day I will be able to open a shelter for homeless animals where they will be cared for and loved.
