HELLO HELLO HELLO! My name is Apple Shen—a nickname I got in kindergarten and kept simply because I liked it. I’m in Grade 9 at CISK (Canadian International School Kunshan), and I’ve been here since preschool! It’s a great place with a strong curriculum, and I’ve learned a lot over the years.

Outside of class, I’m really into badminton and fishing—both teach me patience, strategy, and how to work with nature. I also love gaming, not just for fun but because it helps me think critically and understand digital creativity.

Recently, I’ve been working on designing a Sustainable City for a project, which got me really interested in eco-conscious urban planning. I love imagining future cities with vertical green spaces, renewable energy systems, and walkable neighborhoods—places that are both smart and sustainable.

One day, I hope to help design cities like this, combining my problem-solving skills with my passion for the environment.
