My Science Story

Ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted to be outside.  I would be outside so much that I would forget to eat sometimes!  I grew up with three older brothers so we would always be outside playing street hockey, manhunt, capture the flag, etc.  There was never a dull moment in our family.  We have always went camping every summer, so that is always something to look forward to every year.  Science seemed to always be one of my stronger subjects, which I believe is based on how much fun it can be.  I remember in 4th grade, we disected owl pellets and then had to attempt to construct a rodent out of the bones.  It may sound disgusting but it was really fun!  I love doing experiements, never knowing what the actual results of my actions may be, and I love how there is always something new to be learned.  I look forward to this semester.  I am a little bit nervous about teaching a class, but it should be really fun!
