School -Science
I like Science. I
even plan of making it my major in college. Currently I'm thinking of
specializing in Genetics. I would like to be a part of a team that analyses the
data from the Human Genome Project. Before I can do any of that I have to
get through high school. Which brings me to the science fair.
For the last
5
years I have participated in school science fairs. I did the first one on
electricity and my next four were gong to deal with the four elements of nature,
but I couldn't find an interesting or challenging experiment involving wind so I
did my last on on DNA
