| My name is Komal Siddiqui; I am a student at N.C.I.V.S. in Sarnia, Ontario.2007 is my second year entering the local science fair and I was very pleased to be selected to go to CWSF. I like to participate in competitions that test my abilities and challenge me to push myself further. Some recent contests I have taken part in involve The Royal Canadian Legion Public Speaking Contest, Desktop Publishing Contest, Canadian Mathematics Competitions, and of course the Science Fair! I like to volunteer my time in the community. I have been volunteering since I was 11. I spend most of my time volunteering at the hospital or at the local library where I am a member of the Teen Advisory Group (TAG). Through TAG I help organize events for teens. I have donated my hair to cancer. I am interested in doing calligraphy, writing stories, painting, dance, and drama. I am also on the badminton and tennis team at school. This summer I am looking forward to attending MedQuest (science summer camp). One day I hope to find a job in the medical field, specifically pediatric studies. |

Four agar plates were set up – LB+, LB+ w/Amp, LB-, and LB- w/Amp. It was concluded that rDNA technology does work leading to transformation. |
