| I am a very involved student, I participate in every activity possible- from sports teams to performances to volunteering. I compete in a few team sports, however my main sport is competitive showjumping with my horse (who was also the inspiration for my project). I have been doing science fair since the third grade and what I have learned is that in order to be truly successful, it is best to do a project on a topic that is of interest to you! |
