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
