My Mission:
Over the summer teachers always tell their students to spend their free time wisely; this summer I decided to do something that may actually help my future. I chose to take on an independent study with a Chemistry Professor at a University near home. Now you may ask yourself, "Why Chemistry?", the answer is quite simple. The environment has always had a special place in my heart and every year humans keep destroying the world we call home. In school I instantly took a liking to chemistry with its reactions and elements, my father being a chemist also having a massive influence. This summer my project seemed simple, find a way to mash together the environment and chemistry. While brainstorming and hunting I came across a gold mine of information. Green Organic Chemistry was my solution to my problem.
So my mission? To find out everything possible about Green Chemistry and how the reactions take place. Then to compose a plan to actually conduct a Green Reaction in the lab. The final step is to eventually help my mentor get the program started in her own labs, creating safe environmentally friendly reactions.
Now, a little about me-
I am a senior in high-school, the time where college hunting and passion finding are extremely important. I am hunting for a way to make a change in the world, and this little Chemistry blog of mine is the first step.
