Dear Ms. Kumar,
My name is Abhaya Ravikumar and I am a senior in the Pleasantville High School science research program. This is my first time participating in WESEF and I would like to thank you for choosing me as a recipient for the AK Academy Award. Receiving this award strengthened my passion for STEM,
specifically the Bioinformatics field. I have wanted to be involved in engineering my entire life and now as a senior attending MIT, I hope to continue this passion and dedication to make a change in the field of biology. Thank you again for your generous contribution and I hope to continue pursuing my interest in research in college.
Sincerely,
Abhaya Ravikumar
