42 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 11.17 Arshi Chopra Age 17, 12th grade, Walden Arshi is a master of many things: She created an app related to contact lenses at the Governor's School for Entrepreneurship, completed nearly 3,000 hours of volunteering around the world and has graduated with a mastery of Kathak, a type of Indian dance. Can you tell us about your dancing? "I've been an Indian classical dancer for around 12 years now. I've done a lot of volunteering with dance. I've taught at the West End School for boys. We teach them our curriculum. It was credit-based, so they would receive credit for it. And we have a recital at the end." Where have you volunteered? "I've gone to India. I helped generate the funds for a surgical and trauma center on the outskirts of Mumbai. I did that one summer recently. It was really intense. I liked it a lot and I'll be going back next summer to check on it." What do you want to do when you get older? "I'm all over the place now. I originally wanted to be a doctor since I was 3. Then I looked into teaching because I'm a tutor. Now that whole business thing that I did, and I won that. Now I want to do that. So now I'm thinking about combining all three in one." What inspires you? "Probably my grandparents. They're the people who have raised me, and I talk to them every single day from India. I FaceTime them. They're just a really big part of my life and they've taught me everything I know."
