My name is Dragos Crisan and I'm in 7th Grade at "Emil
Racovita" national school in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. My passions are
math and computers.
Because I like them so much, I started to participate in contests
and competitions. I worked hard and, of course, the results were
immediate.
In fifth grade I took first place at the county Mathematics Olympiad
and the county Computer Science Olympics. At both national Olympics
I won the bronze medal.
In sixth grade I was the first in the county in both mathematics and
computer science. At National Computer Science Olympiad I took
9th place, silver medal, and obtained 4th at National Mathematics,
first mention and a gold medal.
Next I participated in county mathematics, computer science and
physics Olympiads, all three winning first place in the county.
Now I'm preparing assiduously for national Olympiads of mathematics
and computer science. (At the national Physics I will not attend
because it occurs at the same time with the math.)
In the future I want to win as many prizes in national contests, and
then why not international?
I want to stay in high school in Cluj, at Racovita, then to follow
somewhere abroad: Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, I've not yet decided.
I would like to do work in research in mathematics in the country or
abroad, depending on conditions.

Romania's Digi24 television reports today that Crisan Dragos, now
age 14, has been admitted to the IT Academy in Cluj-Napoca, their
youngest student, "but his skills are far ahead of his age," Crisan's
teacher said.
"We want to find young people who want to do something interesting
in the future, to be computer scientists of the future, who will be the
start-up entrepreneurs," says Gloria Csiszer, marketing manager of
the IT academy in Cluj-Napoca.
