My Passions
About Me
Hello everyone, my name is Tony Huang and I am currently a senior at Brunswick High School. I am taking this class to not only fulfill the requirements of my school's science courses but to also learn more about Biology as a whole. Having taken AP Environmental Science as a junior, I realized that AP Biology will be a next step forward in expanding my knowledge/passion for the natural world. Although I love science, my "favorite" subject in school is actually social studies (history, government, and economics).
I have been the Junior Class President and I am currently serving as my school's Senior Class President. I was the Region 3 Vice President for the Georgia FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) and I have completed my "America Award". I enjoy spending time with my family and getting really creative when designing Homecoming props and decorations.
By taking this course, I hope to make a 5 and to see that my hard work has really paid off! I actually have taken online courses at Georgia Virtual. I am currently reading the novel Peace Like A River...so yeah...it's pretty good. :D
When it comes to travel, I have only been to two other countries besides the United States. Those two countries include China and Canada. However, being the history fanatic that I am, I would love to tour these following countries:
1. Turkey- Its capital, Istanbul was formerly known as Constantinople, the center of both the Eastern Roman Empire and the Eastern Orthodoxy. Its unique location serves as a cross-road between Eastern and Western civilization. If I go to Turkey, I would love to tour the Hagia Sophia, which was originally built as a Christian Church but later converted into an Islamic mosque.
2. Venice- One of the birth places of the Italian Renaissance, I have always been intrigued by life in Venice. I love the fact that transportation in Venice is done primarily through small boats. Also, the city has a rich history along with amazing food.
3. Rio de Janeiro-How fun would it be to tour coastal Brazil while getting a chance to experience the lush, warm temperature of the tropical rain forest?
4. Spain- Si, yo hablo espanol y estoy estudiando A.P. espanol en mi escuela. I find Spanish to be unique not only due to its practicality but also its culture. If I get the chance to go to Spain, I would love to tour the museums in Madrid, watch bull-fighting, watch a world class soccer game in Barcelona, and to eat Spanish tortillas (which interestingly enough is made of potatos!)
Marshes of Glynn
Sidney Lanier once wrote a poem describing the Marshes of Glynn. Although it may not be visually appealing, there is actually a lot of wild life in this area!
Jekyll Island
My favorite go-to spot. You could actually find horse-shoe crabs as you walk along the shores.
St. Simons Lighthouse
Nothing much to it, it's just a lighthouse but quite iconic in this region. What's really nice is to have a Fourth of July B-B-Q near the St. Simons Island beach while enjoying the shade underneath century- old oak trees.
My aspirations
HURRAH! HURRAH!
I hope to be accepted to the University of Pennsylvania Class of 2018! Go Quakers! At UPenn I plan on pursuing a degree that involves government/social work.
