f there is one civic issue that I believe strongly in, it is in that of conserving and maintaining our environment. I know, I know. This topic may seem very overdone and I’m sure you are tired of hearing about it, but it is something that I am passionate about and that I have always been passionate about. In fact, I chose my major based, biological engineering, based on my passion and beliefs. I am not here to force you to become an environmentalist, or to try to convince you to “go green.”
