Biography
I am fifteen and a student at G.C. Rowe Junior High in Corner Brook, NL. In terms of academics, my favourite subjects would have to be science, social studies, and English. I feel that there is a common element in each of these subjects, because they all involve a type of investigation. I enjoy discovering things about the world around me, and learning interesting things about the creatures that share this planet with us. I enjoy collecting wonderful facts about things we use every day. I enjoy music and theater. I take voice lessons and I am a member of the band and the drama club at my school.At this point I am undecided about my future, but I feel that if it does not take me in the direction of investigative journalism, I will enroll in studies in preforming arts. Community involvement is also a big part of my life. I initiated an after school tutorial program for kids at my former elementary school. I also run the "Krafty Kids" activity sessions at the Kinsmen Prince Edward Park in Corner Brook during the summer. To me, life is meant to be lived as a full participant--not as a bystander!

Extended testing comparing results for the leanest ground beef to similar samples of ground moose meat found the moose to have the lowest fat content of all samples tested.
