As a tenth-grade student at Athens College, I am passionate about studying engineering, a field that perfectly aligns with my love for problem-solving and innovation.

My interest in Formula One (F1), fuels my fascination with high-performance technology and design, further inspiring my engineering aspirations. I channel my passion for speed into real-world impact by working on road safety projects in my community. From analyzing accident data to designing awareness campaigns, I aim to merge high-performance thinking with public safety solutions.. Beyond academics, I find writing to be a valuable creative outlet for expressing my thoughts and ideas.

Inspired by the stories of my beloved grandfather and his unwavering belief in the importance of our Armenian roots, my cousin and I co-founded this club. This club is our way of ensuring that traditions and history of our ancestors live on. We want to help others understand that names, culture, and stories are powerful threads that connect us to who we are and who we hope to become.

Our mission is to create a living platform for youth empowerment - strengthening identity through storytelling and action, while building bridges between cultures. We aim to provide a space where Armenian youth can celebrate and deepen their connection to their heritage and invite non-Armenian peers to join in meaningful cultural exchange.

In a tribute to my Armenian heritage, I chose to adopt both my mother's and my father's last names. Including the surname Danelian, is my personal way of honoring my Armenian heritage and the strength of the women in my family. This decision not only strengthens my bond with my mother and our ancestors but also connects me more deeply with the broader Armenian community. It represents a commitment to preserving my family's narrative, ensuring that the cultural heritage passed down through generations are remembered and celebrated.

As a tenth-grade student at Athens College Psychico College with an interest in studying Business Management, I find great joy in collaborative work and harbor a strong passion for soccer.

Among my aspirations is a journey to Armenia to explore the places my grandparents have lovingly described to me. My family cherishes an Armenian heritage on my mother's side and a Greek heritage on my father’s side.

A profound bond with my grandfather Christos, my namesake, has significantly shaped my identity. Countless hours spent listening to his stories about Armenia have brought me closer to my roots.

Through his narratives, I have gained insight into the sacrifices and bravery required for our ancestors to forge a path in a new world. I am motivated to continue this cultural legacy by celebrating our family's history and Armenian identity. Both cultures I belong to heavily emphasize the significance of tradition and family—values I have cherished since childhood. My Armenian grandfather particularly values celebrating Armenian holidays together, an upbringing that has inspired me to embrace these traditions and fueled my desire to explore my Armenian origins further.

With this purpose, my cousin Niki and I founded this club. Our goal is to delve into our maternal heritage and the traditions our ancestors practiced and to share this rich cultural tapestry with others.
