During my junior year of high school, I was dual enrolled at the University of Rio Grande. In my biology II class, we were instructed to conduct a scientific experiment of our choosing. I decided to observe the the effects of acidic vermiculite on the growth of radish plants. This experiment taught me how to properly conduct out an experiment and correlate that information to the outside world. This experience will assist me in conducting my own research at the Ohio State University. Ultimately, this will help me get into medical school.
