When I was chosen to be on the

Children Festival, it bolstered my

ability to find common good amongst
people around the world”

As much as the prospect of living by myself is very exciting,
it will be an immense challenge to live away from home for
the first time in my life. I wish to be a successful Mechanical
Engineer. The world has become a place filled with terror
and strife therefore my aspiration for the world is that there
will always be help for those in need.

My parents have always been the ones to encourage
my sense of curiosity and as a result, my dreams and
imagination are nurtured through compassionate people I
meet in everyday life.

Being a part of the team at all the State level wins from
Tennis to Robotics and being the cofounder of Student
Investment Group (that we set up in my High School
for the benefit of the School) has felt like the greatest
accomplishment so far.

ICAF helped me discover my inner creativity and use
art to bring countries together. It gave me an opportunity
to divert my disappointments that came with losing a
few competitive tennis matches to a positive energy as I
engaged into creating my art piece. When I was chosen to
be on the ICAF Youth Board at the 4th World’s Children
Festival, it bolstered my ability to find common good
amongst people around the world.
