| Hello, my name is Tyra Cockney-Goose, I am 18 years old, and in grade 12. I go to East Three Secondary School, Inuvik, NT. In my spare time I enjoy being alone, lost in the world of books. Among other things I enjoy writing, art, sleeping, eating, and admiring my dogs. One of my best (worst) qualities include procrastinating to the highest degree. I have spent in the past, many late nights working on assignments days before the due date. In practice I realized that the quality of my work wasn’t as good as it could have been if I had gotten them earlier, thus inspiring me to want to learn more about the effects of sleep deprivation. I know that I only just scratched the surface with the research that I conducted, but I would definitely love to learn more about it. As of this point in my life I’m not too sure what my future holds for me, but I am eager to get out into the world. This will be my first time attending Canada Wide Science Fair, but if I had any advice it would be to not procrastinate. Final thoughts: I hate word limits. |
