Bio

Hi! I'm a Palestinian high school senior whose drive is his best and worst quality. I never want to stop learning; heaven knows how far I'll go, but I plan to continue my education for the foreseeable future. I had the best AP Biology teacher in the world, and it's left Bio as my favorite subject. I plan to major in it in college and further pursue life sciences in graduate school. I have... a lot of free time, so I'm often needle felting, binging trash TV, plotting, or finding new events to organize. Thank you!

      I'm definitely not sure, but I'm pre-med at the moment.
