Why I Chose To Study
I am Kriti Manuja, a grade 11 student currently studying at Westmount Collegiate Institute. I feel that I am qualified for this educational and beneficial opportunity. My keen interest in human biology and chemistry, as well as my work at Weston Pharmacare, has sparked my interest in science, specifically genetics, and given me essential knowledge that will help me have a deeper understanding of the research I will be conducting. My enthusiasm, and natural curiosity keeps me open to new ideas and will constantly keep me on my engaged at this program. Science is the study of the world around us, how and why it works.

I have taken a chemistry course outside of school, and currently, I am also taking the 11u biology course. Aside from the courses I am taking, I have joined the science club at school; performing experiments and learning new scientific concepts outside of class. My extra experience in the lab environment has taught me many valuable skills to becoming a good scientist. I practice lab safety very proficiently and know how to use different laboratory apparatus. Because we generally work in teams, I have also learned to apply good collaboration skills, as well as making independent, and quick decisions when needed. I have also competed in the York Region Science Olympics, which has taught me to be a problem solver and can work my way around any situation that may arise. I also have an appreciation for the performing arts and am in a music program at school. I go to weekly band rehearsals and attend music council meetings to be more involved with the program and take on a leadership role. I am a member of the creative writing club which helps me to increase my creativity and come up with new ideas. Currently, I work at Weston Pharmacare. At my job, I learned real life applications of science and I also have gained good communication skills both towards patients and colleagues. My extra curricular activities have shaped me into a leader, and I believe that my skills will be of good use
