| My name is Jocelyn Manley I am a grade 11 student at Riverview Rural High School in Cape Breton Nova Scotia. I play 4 sports for my high school, including Division 1 Basketball, Division 1 Rugby, Division 1 Mixed Curling and JV Soccer, I am also in the French Immersion program. I have a passion for the environment and how we can save and insure the health of the plants and animals.This interest and a discussion in Biology class brought this project to life. If given the opportunity I would expand this topic and dive into the effects on the water table and try to find out how deep the salt travels into the soil. In the future I plan to attend University, and pursue my love of science. |
