This photo was taken by my mom after I just won the Greater Vancouver Mining Women Association Award at the Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair in UBC, back in 2023. I accomplished this award by completing a project on erosion of commonly used metals in various liquids. This has great significance to me as this is the first major academic award that brought pride to my school and my family. When receiving this award, I felt very proud of myself as I put in a lot of effort and time into this project, but I wasn’t expecting to win.

In this clip of a video, this popular streamer and Youtuber (Ishowspeed) is on a call with a teenager who just recently got diagnosed with diabetes. After finding out what diabetes is and what he must go through every day,  Ishowspeed decides to donate $17,500 USD to support him. I found a personal connection to this clip as my mom also suffers from diabetes. I find this act of kindness and generosity very wholesome, as he not only supported the boy, but unintentionally raised awareness about diabetes to millions of people who watched this clip online.
