In High School, I took Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, with Chemistry being at the AP level. I definitely enjoyed Chemistry more than the other two because of the teachers I had, but physics was also a fairly enjoyable class. I would like to develop a better understanding of the relevance that Biology has on my everyday life, which is something that didn’t happen in high school Biology. The tailgate project most intrigues me, because I have tailgated before, and being in high school at the time made me a little naive to the fact that the trash left behind really leaves a footprint. Because I know that tailgating is such a big deal on this campus, I would assume that would be the most appealing to a great deal of students. I would probably learn that cooperation when it comes to civic engagement is not ever going to be mandatory, so it’s hard to be too aggressive in getting people to help out. But at the same time, in order to make a change, assertiveness is key. I will also learn that while what we do can be a step in the right direction, even further action must be taken to completely resolve a certain issue. I want to learn more about genes and heritability.
