In high school, I took Honors Biology, Honors Chemistry, AP Physics I, and AP Physics II. I liked Physics the best because we did a lot of labs and group work, even though the course and material were difficult. From this course, I want to participate in an outreach that uses the material we learn in class and apply it in the real world. The project that interests me the most is the outreach with Clarke Central HS students. I’ve visited elementary schools and middle schools in the past when I was in high school, so this seems very similar. I do think the Tailgating project sounds interesting and that if students at UGA saw the picture of campus after a big game, they would not want to go to a campus that looks like it is a dumpster. Through these projects, it will help me with civic engagement by interacting with younger students in the community and also making the community a better place to live. In this course, I really am excited for the genetics because this topic has always been interesting to me. In my HS bio class we did not do much with watersheds and water quality, so I think this will be something new and exciting to learn as well.
