Hello, I am Simran. I'm in 12th grade and am a big animal advocator. I enjoy going outdoors, learning physics, volunteering at Hospitals, and going on walks with my family. Some goals I have going/things I'm looking forward too this year is getting amazing grades, getting another dog, work on my community service project (Training for teachers; an organization where I offer training dogs on zoom for $5 & all proceeds go to teachers in Africa to buy supplies for students), and start tutoring people in any subject. I like to learn visually the best, and I like to work quietly. I like group work, but it depends on the assignment/subject. My favorite book is Wonder, my favorite food is pizza, and my favorite place is the Bahamas. I enjoy analyzing and reading poetry. I find poetry is a good way to calm the body down, relax, and think. Also, I love dogs, drawing, and just volunteering at my local SPCA or animal shelters. I find helping people and connecting with others extremely satisfying. Also, I play competitive tennis at Cary Tennis Academy & am on the JTT Team! A food I can eat forever are tacos because they are so delicious and you can eat them in many ways! You can add anything you want and make them unique to your tastings. One of my favorite things I did this summer was my internship at "Usha Mehta's Plastic Surgery" in San Francisco where I got to experience and explore medical practices, and watch live surgeries. Overall, I like to live life to the fullest and never have any regrets.

A community service project I founded and am highly passionate about is "Training for teachers." This is an organization where I offer training dogs on zoom for $5 & all proceeds go to teachers in Africa to buy supplies for students.
Another project I am currently working on is a clinical study of people who are mute with down-syndrome and their physical and mental relationship with service animals. The study is to see what the psychology and physical impact service animals make on the Brain (more in-depth to the neutrons and psychology) by helping them throughout their daily life in activities and providing care to aid them in any way necessary.
I love to draw, study physics, and create graphic design in my free time! I run NAHS & NSHS with many peers and have done lots of calligraphy and art-related workshops to open learning opportunities for students at Apex!
This is a photo of my cousins two dogs, they are both so adorable and made online learning fun. They would just sit by me while I was in class and during breaks I could play with them. They made online learning way better.

Last semester was a learning experience for me and many others to get used to online learning. I found myself at first getting frustrated at my laptop for being too slow or having lots of distractions in my home to focus. I found myself not that interested in learning, and I struggled a bit with the lack of communication from some teachers. For example, in math, I couldn't fully understand concepts that well as I got confused, and learning math online was a struggle. Looking forward, I hope to have more communication with my teachers and if I feel I am struggling with a concept, to get help/reach out to my teachers more. Overall, I can't wait to go back in person, but would miss getting my dog to sit by me all day.
