THE FIELD NOTE
EMILY FREYMUTH NOW COLLEGE FRESHMAN
This fall I will be attending UW-Stevens Point where I will study Environmental Science. It was our school’s first time participating in the Envirothon competition so we did not know all of what to expect at the state competition or the national competition. At the Wisconsin competition we just tried our best and had fun. There were a few questions that we had no idea how to answer that we researched after the competition but also a lot of questions we were able to answer right away. It was a fun learning experience because we were there to pave the path for our school next year so you could imagine our surprise to find out we won the state competition. My favorite part of the nationals competition was getting closer with my team and meeting new people from other states. There were a lot of graduated seniors that were going on to study something environmental in college. It was nice to be able to talk to people about that common interest. The career fair on the first day was also very beneficial. I was given a lot of useful information about potential internships and jobs I might want to have while I am in college and after I graduate. This experience has made me more confident that I want to continue my education in Environmental Science.
EVANGELINE DAVIS JUNIOR Hello my name is Evangeline Davis, an upcoming junior attending Cedarburg High School. After high school, I would like to major in Education and become an elementary school teacher. Although I am leaning toward education, I still love learning about the environment and environmental issues. Envirothon has been such a great opportunity to learn about different fields in environmental science as well as just expanding my knowledge. My favorite part about NCF Envirothon was the testing stations. It was so fun to work with my team and display what we have been studying and working toward. I hope to have this opportunity to attend NCF’s Envirothon again next year!
