This is the Individual Written Assignment that I wrote for my AP Capstone Seminar class in Grade 11 at De La Salle. It is about the cultural tides that overtook many Japanese youth and made them find refuge in social isolation, also known as hikikomori in Japan. The paper contributed to a score of 5 from the College Board in that course, which is the highest score awarded.
I'm currently working on pure math research on braid theory with the help of Professor Glynn-Adey at the University of Toronto Scarbrough Campus.
