My name is Aditi Jomen Bhardwaj, and I am a student at Pathways School Noida. I am a 14-year-old, currently studying in the 9th grade.

I personally have a very newly developed passion for trying to make an impact. From raising awareness about an NGO that supports underprivileged children to starting my own business alongside my peers to fight against gender stereotypes, being able to make a change no matter how big or small has become extremely important to me.

I have also done more passion-based products such as writing articles on well-known issues such as body positivity and racism, as well as learning to recycle old materials and turn them into something new. In my own way, I have found ways to combine my areas of interest with something that I believe can change and impact the community around me.

Personally, I have never been one to take part in such initiatives or participate much in anything. However as time went on, I started realizing the impact I could have, no matter the size, if I could just try. Succeeding and failing are all part of the process and I've been able to develop an understanding of how important it is to experience both.

While I do feel like I've done a lot, I know that there is so much more to do. I want to take other areas of passion and turn them into more but I also want to be able to develop new skills and explore new areas of interest.

BEing able to work as part fo this crowdfunding will not only provide to me the opportunity to give back but also to learn and explore new things as well as develop and pick up new skillsalong the way.
