In high school, I took biology, chemistry, and physics. So far in college, I have taken Physics 1 and Physics 2. I liked physics the most because it was very math based.
I would like to get an informative biology foundation and am looking forward to learning about the properties of soil and its necessary tie with the environment. I have always wanted to help the environment but felt like I didn’t quite understand all the key aspects or most beneficial ways of doing so, so I am excited to get this knowledge through the visits to the watershed.
I am interested in the Outreach program at Clarke Central High School. It will be interesting to work with the students and researching the bacteria since this is a major issue found in our streams. This is also something I have never done before, so I am looking forward to this!
I think issues about how all this can affect our future will appeal to students. A lot of times it is easy to overlook things like the soil and its future importance in the moment, however, when put into perspective on how it can affect our life 40-50 years from now, it becomes more impactful.
With helping with this service learning project I think It will be eye-opening to see the issues of bacteria in our streams. With the knowledge I have gained I hope to be able to motivate people around me in understanding and helping with the issues. I also hope to better communicate the issues with my peers as well and together we can make help preserve the environment.
