Introduction

Hello. My name is Brittney. I am a seventeen-year old student attending the Robert J. Lister Academy. When my teacher, Bryan, introduced this Costa Rica class to us I was very excited and wanted to go. Then we got to see how the class would be orientated and it looked very difficult but I still wanted to join the class. Now that I am in the class I am willing to do my hardest with the work we have to accomplish and get my fellow classmates and I to go to Costa Rica. This will be a long and challenging course but I am willing to strive to achieve this goal.

The reasons why this is such a big deal for me is because I've never been out of the United States and I think that it would give me knowledge to other cultures outside of the United States. Another reason this is such a big deal to me is because I get to enjoy the reward of success. I know what kind of hard work it's going to be and when I get on the plane to go to Costa Rica I will have been able to see how much I have accomplished. The last reason why this is such a big deal to me is because I have never had an experience like this where it was with a school that counted as class and I find that to be very appealing on a college or job application that I was able to go out of the country. When I get ready to begin the college application process I want to be seen as someone that is committed to life long learning, exciting experiences and successful future. This is what I think this trip can give me. If you would like to support me, our efforts, or our class, please send a check made payable to the Robert J.

More Information on my Topic

I know some more about what I am doing for my research project. I will be comparing the grocery stores, restaurants, and homes, as well as a local food producer in Costa Rica versus New Hampshire. I am doing the cheese factory for Costa Rica and Stonyfield Yogurt for New Hampshire.

In the book Walking with Wolf it talked about the Guidon family helping to start a cheese factory. When we go to Costa Rica in April, we will be going to the cheese factory so I can do some research on it. I might compare the cheese factory to Stonyfield Yogurt but I’m not sure yet.

Last year we went to Stonyfield Yogurt as a school field trip. It was so fun and interesting. I loved it. We might go there again to refresh my memory and so I can learn even more about Stonyfield Yogurt. Ever since that field trip I asked my family to switch our yogurt to Stonyfield Yogurt and they did.

That is all I know so far about my research project. I am so excited that I will be able to use Stonyfield Yogurt as part of it. I am also excited to go to the cheese factory that we have been reading so much about. I can’t wait to find out what I am doing for my final research project.
