21K School student, cube enthusiast, and future geneticist. I use logic to solve puzzles and stories to explore the world.
A 21K School student, speedcuber, and storyteller with a deep focus on the logic of genetics.
I want to explore how DNA works and eventually step out of the virtual simulations and into a real-world lab.
I treat every challenge like a Rubik’s cube: I look for the pattern, find the algorithm, and solve it.
I’ve always liked patterns, which is probably why I’m so into speedcubing. Math feels like a bigger version of a Rubik's cube—it’s all about algorithms and finding the most efficient way to a solution. Being at 21K School has forced me to be independent, so I’ve learned to really sit with a problem until the logic clicks.
I really appreciate Mohini ma'am for her support. She taught me that math isn't just about getting the right answer quickly, but about understanding the steps that get you there. It's about the process, not just the result.
Even though I haven't been to a physical lab yet, Science is where I spend most of my time. I have a huge interest in genetics—I’m fascinated by how DNA acts like a code for building people. I spend my free time exploring virtual simulations and reading up on how heredity works. I really want to explore this further and hopefully get into a real lab one day to see the stuff I've read about in person.
Neelam ma'am has been great at feeding this curiosity. She’s helped me stay focused on the evidence and taught me that you don't need a lab coat to start thinking like a real researcher.
English is where I get to use my imagination. I’ve found that I really enjoy story writing—taking a simple idea and building a whole world around it. It’s helped me get way better at explaining my thoughts. At 21K School, you have to be very clear with your words, and storytelling has taught me how to keep people interested in what I’m saying.
Farha ma'am has been a huge help with my writing. She’s encouraged me to take risks with my stories and has helped me refine my voice so that my ideas actually land the way I want them to.
Coding feels a lot like solving a cube—you have a starting state, a goal, and a set of rules to follow. My whole education at 21K School happens on a computer, so learning how the software actually works behind the scenes is super useful. It’s taught me to be okay with failing the first five times, as long as I figure it out on the sixth.
Thanks to Arun sir, I’ve learned how to be more organized with my projects. He’s shown me that good code is like a good story—it needs to be readable, logical, and have a clear purpose.
GP has taught me that the world is a lot more complicated than it looks on the surface. I’ve learned how to look at massive global issues and break them down into different viewpoints. It's made me much better at research, especially when it comes to checking if a source is legit or just biased.
Ayesha ma'am has been awesome at guiding me through these complex topics. She’s taught me how to stay skeptical but open-minded, which I think is a skill I’ll use for the rest of my life.
Tamil keeps me connected to my culture. Studying it formally has made me realize how much depth there is in the language. It’s a challenge to balance the grammar with the literature, but it’s helped me become much more fluent and confident in how I express myself.
Narmada ma'am has been so patient and supportive. She makes the lessons feel personal and has really helped me improve my formal communication in my native language.
Between speedcubing and jumping into genetics, I've developed a real eye for patterns. I can see how different pieces of a puzzle fit together, whether that's a 3x3 cube in my hands or a string of data on my screen.
I don't like just stating dry facts; I try to build a narrative. Whether I'm writing an actual story for English or explaining a science concept, I use my storytelling skills to make the information clear and engaging.
Being at 21K School has taught me how to be my own boss. Since I don't have a teacher physically standing over me, I’ve had to learn how to manage my time and stay motivated on my own.
Since my entire world is digital, I've gotten really good at navigating the web to find the truth. I know how to dig past the headlines to find actual studies and reliable data, treating the internet like a library.
