| My name is Megan Schlorff. I am sixteen years old and I have lived in Hanover, Ontario all my life. I attend grade ten at Sacred Heart High School in Ontario where I am an honours student. I am a member of the school band where I play the clarinet and I am a member of the Environmental Committee on the Student Advisory Committee. I am also on the school's junior Reach for the Top team and placed second at the regional playoffs. Outside of school I enjoy step dancing and playing the piano. I have been dancing since I was four years old and I have been playing the piano since I was six. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends and I love curling up with a good book. I really enjoy the scrapbooking and photography because they allow me to express myself creatively. I also enjoy cooking, exercising, and applying "green" habits to my lifestyle. I have always had a passion for science and this science fair project is the seventh one that I have completed. I am currently interested pursuing a career in medicine particularly in the field of pediatrics or obstetrics. |
