1. My experience with science began with biology my freshman year of high school. I soon discovered that biology, while a very useful and important science, did not interest me at all. The following year, I took AP Chemistry. Although it was an extremely difficult course (with an equally difficult AP Exam), I enjoyed chemistry for the most part. My junior year, I was finally able to take the science that I enjoyed the most: physics. Although AP Physics 1 and 2 were difficult, I learned a lot in those classes. My senior year of high school I took AP Environmental Science, a class that I found quite boring. Overall, I enjoyed  physics the most because it isn’t an information-retaining science like biology or chemistry, but because I am a math-oriented person, and physics is a science that applies math to the real world, and this helped me understand physics the best.
2. I would like to get two things from this class. Firstly I would like to acquire an understanding of what we, as humans, do to affect our environment, and how we can fix the negative effects and increase the positive ones. Secondly, I would like a good grade in this class, and I am hoping that the studying and work I will put into this class will yield positive results.
3. I would like to know how different antibiotics affect plant growth, what antibiotics are found in the soil in different areas, and which antibiotics should we avoid putting in the soil entirely.
4. I think my fellow students would be interested in finding a way to make composting more accessible and more prevalent.
5. I am hoping that this class helps me be better able to present scientific data and explain information related to the environment.
