A Little About Me! by Diya Parekh

Hi! My name is Diya Parekh, and I’m a current junior at William Tennent High School. In my free time, I love reading and all-things music! Reading is always something I’ve loved and could do for hours at a time when I was younger, but it’s something I haven’t been the best at keeping up with once I started getting older and having less time. I’m trying to get back into it by exploring new genres and even branching out and trying to read nonfiction. As for music, it’s something I love in every single way. I’ve been playing the viola since I was in the third grade. It’s something that started off as just a hobby, but it’s become a pivotal part of my life. Through playing the viola, I have been able to gain a deeper appreciation for classical music. The polar opposite part of the musical part of me is my self-taught guitar journey! I have been teaching myself guitar for the past two years. I’ve gotten the chance to learn both electric and acoustic, and I can say with confidence that acoustic is my favorite. I could go hours on end learning complicated folksy acoustic songs.

A big part of my life, of course, is school. I’m an active member of my school’s National Honor Society, Science National Honor Society, English Honor Society, and Key Club. All of these clubs are really great for community service opportunities and interacting with some like minded peers. I have also recently co-founded my school’s Health Science Exploration Club with one of my friends. My friend and I noticed that there weren't many resources for kids interested in the medical field, but there were lots of students that planned to go to college for pre-med or nursing. We designed this club this year to invite guest speakers in the health science field, including William Tennent alumni, to speak to our club about their high school, college, and work experience. So far, the club is doing very well!
