people are idiots

I decided that one of the things humans do to the harm the environment that enrages me the most, is pollute the great lakes. They are a great for a reason people! You know how you like to go to the beach with your friends, and take fun pictures at grandhaven, or go paddleboarding? Yeah, if we keep dumping our nasty into the lakes we can't do that anymore!
This website I'm reading (link below) says that this has been a problem since 1969. The Cuyahoga River, which flows in Lake Eerie, caught on fire! There was so much garbage in the river that the water was in flames! More than once! RED FLAG!
Sewage disposal, toxic contamination through heavy metals and pesticides, overdevelopment of the water's edge, runoff from agriculture and urbanization, and air pollution are all things that are happening to the lakes!
Pollution in the lakes causes deformities and dead fish and things that are bad! Seriously people, this has been going on forever! Why are people just now realizing this is problem!

What I'm most looking forward to this semester.... I'd definitley have to say genetics for sure. Genetics was my favorite unit in biology 10. Not only would you get to study a number of diseases, but the very fabric of life! DNA is so complex and fascinating! But besides that I love looking at dominant versus recessive genes; blue eyes vs brown, tall vs. short. It's so awesome! I think it's so fascinating and it's such a huge field that could help so many people!
I think evolution also has the potential to be really intersting in class. It's so controversial, and always leads to great in class discussions.

Hello Biology Friends!

My name is Sarah Gorkowski. I have been a sideline and competitive cheerleader for 9 years. Last Competitive season I was All-Conference (you can see my picture hanging outside the athletic office :P (I just noticed like 10 minutes ago, pretty exciting stuff)). I'm Sparta High School's National Honor Society Historian, a member of the Interact Club, and a Student Mentor. I'm going to be in art 5 this year and I love art!This past spring was my frist adventure into the world of theater and I absolutely fell in love! West Side Story couldn't have been any better for me. Unfortunately my schedule won't permit me to be involved this fall, I will definitely be back this spring! I'm currently in the Medical Explorer's intern program at Specturm and I hold two jobs; I hostess at TGI Fridays and cashier at Under The Pines.

I'm excited for my intern (my first placement is today incidentally) because I'm interested in studying medicine. Well, medicine is a very broad field and I'm hoping that the internship will help me narrow it down a bit. I'm taking AP Bio this semester because I think it will challenge me, as well as prepare me for college and my future career. In addition to going to school my dearest ambition is to travel the world and travel abroad!

my cheer team!
