Hello!!! I am Meletis Nigdelis and I am an 11th grader at Anatolia. My favourite subject is Biology and Mathematics. I love working on limits, differential calculus and integral calculus. My relation with Biology, though, has always been special. Since I was a little boy, I was amazed by the complexity of life and the DNA. As I grew older, school was what made me appreciate Biology more.
Apart from those two subjects, I love studying Ancient Greek and World Literature. I must admit that I am for the "Homo Universalis" idea. Everyone must have general knowledge on many subjects so he can survive in this dog eat world. Moreover, I play the violin since 1st Grade. I started playing the piano 3 years ago. I have studied Music theory and harmonics.
Apart from music, I have been working on the issue of diplomacy. I have attended 7 Model United Nations conference and I have actively participated in my school's MUN organizing committee.
I would like to conclude with a quote of Einstein which works as my motto: "I want to know God's thoughts, all the rest are details." I wish good luck to everyone!!!!
