<p>This summer I attended a Neuroscience Program at Northwestern College.</p>
<p>The description: Campers participate in electrophysiology and neuropharmacology experiments. They dissect a sheep brain, use computer simulation to dissect a human brain, and record the electrical activity of their own brains. Northwestern Neuroscience Camp also includes a field trip to the University of South Dakota’s Sanford School of Medicine to visit the gross anatomy (cadaver) lab and active neuroscience research labs.</p>
<h2>We watched research in action, participated in college lectures, and did many labs. An enriching experience.</h2>
<p>I Volunteer at the Hospital-- I now work in the Cancer Center at Stony Brook University Hospital. I file and fill out medical information, assist nurses, help out patients when ever they need me</p>
<h2>Every year I donate blood, do the 'Walk for Beauty' marathon for breast cancer research, and World Vision's 30 Hour Famine. and more comm service later</h2>
<p>worked at Quiznos summer of 08..</p>
<h2>I am HOPING to work/intern in a lab summer of senior year.</h2>
<p>For something interesting, I started Motorcycling at 16. I'm part of the 'chirstian motorcyclist association' Its a suzuki katana. I don't know if that will stand out? I go on 'charity runs' a lot. (Such as guardians of the children ride to protect victims of child abuse and the pediatric brain tumor foundation's Ride for Kids)</p>
