Assignment 6- Ava Nielsen

Although not my academic strong suit, I have always been interested in science. That being said, the way the school system presents science- specifically biology, chemistry, and physics- I usually find boring and convoluted. However, I really like learning about it in an interactive way. I love science museums because they're interactive and interesting. I also really enjoy ecological and marine science, found easily at zoos and aquariums, both of which are really fun. Pig, worm, clam and starfish dissections in freshman year biology, while disgusting, were perhaps one of the most memorable parts of high school. The following year in chemistry, we did a 2 week chemistry lab, which seemed to come naturally to me and I found to be an escape from regular boring class. Overall, I have a strong love for environmental science and the study of animals and ecosystems, which I hope to be able to learn more about in the future.
