WINDSOR JUNCTION:<\/strong> A Windsor Junction girl\u2019s good fortune went her way during the Halifax Brain Bee, coming away with the win unexpectedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alyanna Delos Reyes of Windsor Junction said she was competing in Halifax Brain Bee 2022, held before the school year ended in June, just for the experience and pure curiosity in neuroscience. The Halifax Brain Bee event also offered lab tours at the end, so she was more excited about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI was surprised and really happy when they announced my name as the winner because all the studying and all the time that I dedicated to it was all worth it,\u201d she said in a recent interview after Lockview High notified us of her success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The win meant the current Grade 11 student (she did the Brain Bee as a Grade 10 student) went on to represent Halifax at the Canadian National Brain Bee 2022.\u00a0She came away from that as the second-place finisher in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”72″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”127″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n She was asked how she was feeling at the Canadian National Brain Bee. She said it was the same as in Halifax. Only more students were competing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere were a lot more students that I was competing against and there was more pressure since I know that they already won in their own province,\u2019 said Delos Reyes. \u201cI also struggled in the third part of the competition so I didn’t really think that I would be in the top 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI was really grateful and happy about winning second place since I knew that the winner have a very great chance to win the International Brain Bee 2022, and she did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Delos Reyes was proud of her result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt was such an amazing achievement for me, and it is something that I, for sure, will always remember and be proud of,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The second and third place results at the Halifax Brain Bee were: <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2nd place – Shabad Kaur from Halifax West High School<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3rd place – Linda Jin from King\u2019s-Edgehill School<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”31″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate group=”7″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Canadian National Brain Bee 2022 was virtual, but it was still a lot of fun, said Delos Reyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere were neuroscience students that shared their interest in neuroscience and why they love studying it and other professors\/doctors that also taught us some cool neuroscience facts,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere was a professor\u00a0from B.C. that actually presented and showed us the anatomy of the human brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThese fun activities\u00a0took our minds off the stressful and nerve-racking competition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate group=”6″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”169″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n She said she has always been fascinated by how our brain and body work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI find it amazing how different parts of your brain controls different processes and perform different actions that can affect you significantly,\u201d said Delos Reyes. \u201cI recognized how our brain and nervous system are very important and critical that’s why I have been very interested in all kinds of neuroscience research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI would love to have a career in neuroscience one day because there is still a lot of ground-breaking knowledge to uncover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI believe that learning more about the brain and neuroscience, in general, can help a lot of people around the world in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”34″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”148″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [adrotate banner=”95″] [adrotate banner=”105″] WINDSOR JUNCTION: A Windsor Junction girl\u2019s good fortune went her way during the Halifax Brain Bee, coming away with the win unexpectedly.
