| Hi my name is Carley Horvath. I am doing my project on “The Impact of a Distracting Environment on Memory”. I am 13 years old and go to Good Shepherd School in Thamesville. I play on the Cross Country team, Volleyball team, Basketball team, Badminton team and Track and Field Team. I also play acoustic guitar with an individual teacher. I even take horseback riding lessons, with a group of people that are in the same level as me. In my community I try to volunteer, for example at TJ stables I have help out with the horse. I am planning to go to the Pines High School in Chatham. They have wonderful sports programs there that I can be apart of. I have been at the Pines many times, one for Chatham Kent Regional Science Fair (CKRSF). At the CKRSF I got best in the show. I was happy because I have achieved a great goal. I am really excited to go to Ottawa for Canada Wide to tell people about my project. For my career planes, I would like to become a Nurse. I think my experience to Ottawa for Canada Wide will help me with my dream. |
