About Me

Me

My name is Afraaz and I am ten years old. I like animals and when I found out that the iconic Tasmanian devils were dying out, I wanted to make a change. My school has a Gifted and Talented (GAT) program where students can challenge themselves to do anything they want. I knew that this was the opportunity for me to have a chance to help the devils so I took it and built a website.

My Hobbies

I am what my peers refers to as ‘the smart one who always knows everything’. I don’t hate that title, it makes me feel a little bit happy, but then I realise how much there is to learn and it makes me ponder upon how much I can improve. I am pretty humble and I also do well in almost all my subjects. My favourite colour is neon green and I like maths, physics, chemistry and biology, the 4 main elements of science. I can also solve a Rubik’s cube in under a minute.
