Hey there, I’m Sohrab Adnani, a 16-year-old Grade 10 student at Collingwood School in West Vancouver. I’m Persian and South African, and I was born and raised in Canada, so I’ve grown up between cultures and perspectives. That background taught me to pay attention, ask better questions, and not take access or opportunity for granted.

 

I’m someone who learns by doing. When I care about something, I build around it, whether that means starting a student initiative, leading a team, or creating a platform that makes room for other voices. I’m drawn to environments that expect both independence and accountability, where ideas have to become action and where feedback is something you chase, not avoid.

 

I care about communication because it’s how people earn trust and move communities forward. I’ve spent years pushing myself in speaking, debate, and student leadership, not just to perform, but to become clearer, more grounded, and more persuasive. I’m at my best in rooms where the standards are high and the conversations are serious.

 

Above all, I’m curious, ambitious, and persistent. I like challenges that feel slightly out of reach, and I’m comfortable being the least experienced person in the room if it means I’m learning. I’m building my path around growth, service, and impact, and I’m excited by places that take students seriously and push them to do the same.
