Hi! My name is Gautam Bajaj, and I'm currently a senior at Troy High School.

When people tell me to tell them something about me, I freeze up because I can never talk about myself on the spot. But here's some stuff about me now.

I consider myself to be an empathetic guy, and I care for the people, animals, and the environment around me. I think being a double minority in this country (Asian/Brown and LGBTQ) gives me a perspective on life that many may not have and it helps me understand others and their problems.

I have a dog named Pixel. He's a Shih Tzu and he's the absolute light of my life, and even though he's annoying, I can't imagine life without him.

I love music and performing, and in an ideal world, I would have become a performer but that's not really in the cards for me, so I want to pursue being a veterinarian.

I love helping people, whether it be small gestures like opening a door or talking about their problems and helping them work through them, so if you ever want to talk, I'm here.

I hope this helps you get to know me. :)

Thanks!
