Hello, my name is Julia Zagulski. I am a Senior at Bartlett High School. I am in the STEM Academy here at BHS. I participate in many different activities. I love participating in sports. My hobbies are hurdling, running, biking, roller balding, and swimming. Polish Folk dancing is something that I have received many awards for. I have been on Polish Calendars, Polish Television and the Polish Radio before. On the side I like to do a lot of backstage theater productions. I help out with the sets, painting, building, lights, programming the sound effects and music for plays/musicals. I like to learn new things and do a lot of hands-on activities. I work at the animal shelter (Anderson Humane Wildlife). Where I care for injured and abandoned animals. That experience has given me a deep understanding of their needs and inspired me to create engineering solutions that prioritize their safety and comfort during transport.

Hello, my name is Krishwa Thakkar. I am a senior at Bartlett High School and a student in the Academy program. I am dedicated to academic excellence and I enjoy engaging in activities that allow me to grow as both a learner and a leader.

I participate in Key Club and the Pediatric Pathway. Through these programs, I volunteer at community events and learn about careers focused on supporting children’s health and well-being. These experiences have helped me strengthen my communication skills, responsibility, and commitment to service.

Outside of school, I am interested in technology and photography. I enjoy projects that allow me to work creatively and focus on problem-solving. I value hands-on learning and take opportunities to expand my knowledge whenever possible.

I plan to pursue a future in STEM where I can contribute to meaningful advancements that improve the lives of others. I am motivated to continue learning, growing, and preparing for the opportunities ahead.

My name is Hansika, and I attend Bartlett High School as a student. I'm in the STEM academy and always taking AP and Honors classes. Aside from school, I play a variety of sports that I have always found interesting since I was younger. A few sports include volleyball, football, and soccer. I used to play volleyball and soccer in my middle school and still play them with my older sister. I am always intrigued by learning and trying new things when it comes to food. Every year during summer, my family and I always travel as it is one of my favorite things to do, and while in different countries, I am always excited to try new foods and fun activities.
