| I was born in England and moved to Norway when I was four and then again to Nova Scotia at age nine. I'm in grade 9 at Bayview community school. I don’t really know what I want to do for my career, but this being my second year at nationals is pointing me towards something involving science. But I also have a keen interest in performing arts and have appeared in lots of local plays. My other passion is singing and I have been a regular in the Lunenburg Music Festival for the past 5 years, I enjoy many other things as well like skating and art but hanging out with my friends is best of all. The inspiration for my project was a TV documentary about the sugar industry. It made me so mad that i wanted to find out more and try to do something about it. I have learned a lot but there is still so much more i would like to find out about. My advice to other students thnking about doing a project would be to choose a topic that really interests you as you will be spending a lot of time working on it. |
