| My name is Greg Farrell. I am in grade 9 at Gorsebrook Junior High School. I am the middle of three brothers. I have always been an athletic person and have participated in many different sports. At the moment, I compete nationally in gymnastics which takes up alot of my time and does not allow for very many other sports/ hobbies. I am also a fairly musical.This was my first science fair experience and I am really looking forward to it. I plan to go to university after high school but am not sure of any career plans quite yet. |
