About

Saara Dang

Welcome to my corner of the internet! I'm Saara, a student at Sage Hill School. I love the challenge of a really complex math problem and promoting mental health awareness through mindfulness and journaling.

When I'm not busy with academics, I find joy in car rides with my siblings, reading cheesy novels, completing every New York Times game each morning, and choreographing routines to Bollywood songs. You can always catch me singing along to Taylor Swift and learning the newest TikTok dance. 

One of my greatest passions is exploring communities and cultural diversity through traveling. I've been fortunate enough to visit some incredible destinations where I have immersed myself in the medinas of Marrakech, explored the bamboo forrest in Kyoto, and learned the tango in Buenos Aires.  

I love how social media can foster connection throughs thousands of communities with just the click of a button. My goal with DearMe and our app is to create a community so that children with chronic illnesses that feel isolated can see themselves represented. 

Through Dear Me, I'm excited to share my thoughts, experiences, and insights with you. I cannot wait to share the Dear Me film and app with you all. Together, let's bring awareness, empathy, and hope to those who need it the most.

About

Rohan Soni

Hello,
My name is Rohan Soni, I’m a student at Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA), and I’m passionate about learning, especially when it comes to math and science. Besides being a dedicated learner, I’m also a drummer who loves playing live music and recording original songs. When I’m not behind the drum kit, you can find me either diving into coding and engineering projects, exploring the exciting world of technology, or also enjoy making wood fired pizza from scratch!
 
Family time is really important to me, and I love spending time with my siblings. We love traveling together, and one of my absolute favorite activities is hitting the slopes for some exhilarating skiing adventures. The thrill of gliding down the snowy mountains is unmatched!
 
Recently, I developed an app called Dear Me. It’s my very first app, and I'm incredibly proud of it. It required a lot of hard work and dedication, but it was all worth it. My goal is to build a community of users who can benefit from this app and make a positive impact on their lives. 
 
When I want to unwind and have some fun, you’ll most likely find me jamming with my family, playing our favorite music. U2 is my all-time favorite band, and their music always bring a smile to my face, but I also love The Police/Sting, Peter Gabriel, and Pink Floyd
 
So that’s a glimpse into my world! Whether I’m studying, building, or grooving to the rhythm, I’m always striving to learn and grow.
