WEEK 7: Wellness

Hi mates! This week has presented unexpected health challenges for me, impacting my ability to actively contribute to my project. I find myself momentarily stepping back to prioritize self-care and recovery. While this might set me back a bit on my project timeline, I believe in the power of resilience and the strength of the collective support of Josh. Life often throws unexpected curveballs, and I'm learning to dance with the rhythm of uncertainty. In this process, I've come to appreciate the value of taking a step back to ensure a healthier comeback which will be after spring break and that is okay. I plan to still keep doing up my project reseach while on break in hopes of finding suitable food products to within stand testing for GMOs.

WEEK #3: Drop or Juggle

The past few weeks have come and gone by like a whirlwind to put it lightly. I just started my public speaking class this week... I am excited to see how this class will go since it is online so this should be interesting to say the less. It is already week three which has me lost for words because where did the time go? I am still in the process of finding out what my research topic will be but each week I have narrowed down my search to 5 choices. By next week I plan on having my top 2 and once I meet with Josh I can have a better idea of which one suits me better. I am giddier about landing an internship with a company or program that aligns with my final career goals.

WEEK 6: Plants Are Rad

 Hello everyone! This week has been an interesting week, to say the least, and it was jam-packed with adventure to write novel times three. I started working on my project with Josh this week and we are off to a wonderful start. I had no clue what flower to choose when Josh asked "what plant will you be studying?" Until one morning I walked to the lab and a hummingbird flew right in front of my face and starts feeding from the flower below as known as a Lantana. The real answer to Josh's question is the plant choose me in the end. I will be looking at aloe too which is kinda cool to me too because I use aloe for almost everything my skin, hair, scars, etc. so it will be nice to see what I discover. Now, that I am working for hands on my project I am more excited about it as time progresses and hope to find some captivating discoveries about Lantanas and aloe vera.

It feels good being back after a much needed break! I feel refreshed and ready to tackle th rest of the semester. I have been focused on geting my paper done and I have finished my background for my project which reads:"The use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture has sparked heated debates and controversies, particularly regarding their impact on human health and the environment. One of the central questions is: Are GMOs present in food products without the proper labeling at local grocery stores. This question encompass concerts about the potential risks and benefits associated with consuming genetically modified food. The question at hand revolves around testing grocery store food products, such as corn chips and vegetarian sausages, for the presence of GMOs. This inquiry is motivated by the desire to provide consumers with accurate information about the genetic composition of the foods they purchase and consume regularly.Existing research indicates that GMOs...
