Team:Consort Alberta/team

I'm in grade 11, and I currently attend Consort School. I first found out about iGem when my Biology teacher told our class about it. I was very interested in the idea, and concept of synthetic biology, although I had almost no idea as to what to do, or what it was. As the semester progressed, I along with my team learned more about the subject, and became more and more interested into it. I for one am very interested in Biology, and I enjoyed my time on the team very much. After highschool, I am planning to attend the University of Victoria to study Deep Sea Ichthyology, which is the study of deep sea fish. The ocean has always fascinated me, especially the parts and organisms that haven't been discovered. Besides iGem, my interests include drumming, bass, guitar, ukulele, video games, longboarding, and potentially becoming Ruler of the Universe.

As of right now, I am 17 years old, just finishing the 11th grade in Consort School. After I graduate, I am planning on going to either University of Alberta or Saskatchewan for a Bachelor of Science in Engineering. The reason I joined iGEM is because it is a phneomonal oppertunity for all individuals. Over these few months I have started to see how this branch of science may persuade me to a slightly different career path than previously expected but we shall see what the future brings. My interests include, but are not limited to, music- previously has learned both Trumpet and Piano, reading, learning new material, and playing various video games. I hope to be a part of our iGEM group, and hope we continue for years to come. Maybe we will know more of what to by then.            </td>

I’m a grade eleven student at Consort School. High school is challenging and fun and contrary to popular belief, life in a small town offers many opportunities. When I’m not working with the iGem team, I’m working with the other Grad Committee and Student Executive members in an effort to improve the day-to-day lives of the students in our school. I enjoy all my classes, however I’m particularly passionate about biology and English. My hobbies include writing, painting, horsebackriding, badminton, volleyball, jogging and photography. However, my favorite activity of all is traveling, and I love any opportunity to see the world’s many cultures and landscapes. Although my plans for the future are still rather vague, I have things narrowed down to three potential paths: Law school, research, or medical school. I see myself spending a lot of time in post-secondary, which suits me just fine as I really enjoy learning. IGem is an excellent opportunity that will open doors for all of us who are involved in it, and I hope to participate again in my grade twelve year.

I am sixteen years old and in grade eleven. I live on a ranch outside of Consort where I enjoy working. My interests include hockey, golf, volleyball and baseball. I am interested in IGem because biology interests me and it is an opportunity that I have never been presented before. IGem also allows me to meet new people. At this time, I am not sure what my future plans entail.

I am a 17-year old grade 12 student at Consort School. The sciences have always been an interest of mine, particularly biology. It seemed only fitting that I get involved in the iGem competition, and thanks to the hard work and dedication of our teacher, Mr Bourassa,that was possible. I was particularly excited for the lab work, but I've found that there is much more to synthetic biology then playing in a lab. In addition to the lab work I am helping in the creation of our wiki, which plays into my future plans of taking Computing Science at the University of Alberta's Augustana Campus. I am greatful for our teacher to help give us an opportunity like iGem and I am excited to see what doors iGem might open for me in the future.
