I started taking online courses for mathematics and programming when I was nine years old. Lately, I have been doing debate and speech, and participated in numerous competitions. I started a GSA (Gender and Sexuality Alliance) with friends at school, where I learned about gender equality and LGBTQ+ rights. I want to live in a world where no one is discriminated for their race, nationality, gender, and sexual orientation, and everyone is given fair and equal rights. In the future, I plan to attend a law school in the United States and learn to solve problems that arise in technology, international relations, and ethics in law. I would like to communicate and share experiences with others to make a difference in the world.
