| Hello, my name is Theresa and I am a grade 11 student from Ontario! Living on the Bay of Quinte, I have always had an interest in water quality, however I have other interests as well. In my spare time I enjoy working at a local grocery store as a cashier, member of the office staff, and head of cashier training. I am also the committee head for my schools Relay for Life event, and was one of the Canadian students selected to participate in Microsoft's Innovate for Good. But I like to have fun too, over the years I have learned how to juggle and ride a unicycle... which I think is pretty cool! This will be my fourth Canada Wide Science fair, and I am sure it will be a unique and wonderful experience, that I would recommend to any student. |
