Hi everyone! My name is Pareen, and I am a grade 12 student at FFCA High School. This is my third year writing for the Youth Are Awesome blog, and I am excited to continue writing about STEM, current societal issues, human rights, and ethics. Aside from blogging, I am very passionate about fostering and helping sick animals and researching topics related to health science and engineering. In my spare time, I love painting, playing badminton, and visiting dark-sky preserves for stargazing. I hope that through my blogs, I can connect with youth and share my perspectives with others!
