Hi there! You are viewing the profile of a person who is the perfect example of a "too perfect" boy. My name is Balaskandan Rajmohan (please go ahead and call me Bala). If you want to attempt to pronounce my name, do so with my guidance. Bah- La- SK- An-Dan. I'm an 8th grader from Maryland going into 9th grade coming August 2025. I strive to help people achieve their goals and their inner sense of "SCIENCE." As Newton stated, "An Object Will Remain at Rest Unless Another Force Is Acted Upon It and An Object Will Stay in Motion Unless Another Force is Acted Upon It." As you have heard from the Law of Inertia, I want to make everyone's mindset a GROWING MINDSET rather a FIXED MINDSET. Yes, the Law of Inertia does relate to it: JUST THINK! As you have seen from my laws, I LOVE SCIENCE!!! I love Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, and importantly, NEUROSCIENCE! I love to learn and aspire my thinking to exploring the brain! In my free time, I love to DO SCIENCE, prepare for a Science Olympiad or any Science related competitions, or just chill in a corner and read Alan Gratz Books. I also love the Workman Publishing, "EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT: High School Series" Science Books such as Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Computer Science, Calculus or even World History! I also have 2-3 years of experience in MUN and have attended 4 conferences. I also have some debate experience (not a lot!). I really love learning about history and the world!
