[Draft: rewrite in your own words] I'm a Grade 12 IB Diploma student at [school name]. I want to develop medicines for diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer, and I've started early. I support computational work in a pharmaceutical sciences lab at UBC, and I've submitted my first research manuscript to a peer-reviewed high school science journal.

Outside the lab I coach youth basketball, run a small web design business, hold executive roles in two school clubs, and spend clear nights at my telescope.
