“Hello, I’m Harshitha. As an 11th-grade student with a deep passion for literature, I believe that the written word has the power to shape minds and create the future, for this reason, I particularly focused on educating the youth on topics that matter—especially in the realms of politics, ethics, and the growing intersection of technology. Additionally, I care deeply about global health and the challenges we face in building a more sustainable, equitable world. I am naturally curious and always eager to explore new ideas, and perspectives. Whether it’s through reading, research, or discussion, I am constantly seeking ways to learn, grow, and contribute to a better future.” said Harshitha.
