About Me

Hi, my name is Monique Patel and I’m currently doing my third year in Biomedical science. I used to have really thick long hair, up to my waist ever since I could remember but after my second year exams, I felt like experiencing having short hair but didn’t want to feel guilty about cutting it all off and throwing it away,  so I donated it to wig foundation for little girls who suffer from cancer.  

I have a little sister who’s taller than me, everyone thinks she’s older because I have a chubbier face where as she has sharper features. We are like two peas in a pod, inseparable and we MUST share our day before we go to bed. Out of the two of us, she’s more immature than I am but I can’t imagine life without her.

I also tutor children on the weekends and sometimes the weekdays.  I like teaching because it’s the most amazing moment in life when a child looks up at you with doe-like eyes and knows what you’re talking about, that he understood whatever I was teaching and that one day it may be useful to him or her.

I also like to travel; I've been to a lot of places but my list of ‘places I need to visit’ gets bigger and bigger. I've done a lot of things like been to the Grand Canyon by helicopter, swam with sting-rays in the Bahamas and been parasailing on a beach in India but I've never actually ice skated or roller skated. Not many people my age can say that they've done the things I've done, but I can't wait to blog. I've never done it before so I'm excited.
