My name is Lizbeth Hernandez. I am currently a senior at Proviso Mathematics and Science Academy and will graduate in 2016. I live in Melrose Park, Illinois. I attended Riley Elementary school and then completed my middle school years at Mannheim Middle School and Northlake Middle School. I come from a proud Mexican family. I am very proud of all my accomplishments throughout the years. I hardly ever have free time because I am always either doing homework, working at the movie theatre, or helping out in the youth group I am part of. However, when I do manage to have free time I go out with my family or friends. I love eating and shopping.
One of the highlights of my Junior year in High School was my research project in which i worked on for a whole school year. I researched the effects of caffeine on teenagers. I chose this topic because I felt like a lot of high schools students depend on caffeine to help them stay focused and do better in school. I learned that a teens caffeine consumption increases significantly when they enter high school because they have a lot of stress from the work and the lack of sleep that they were not used to in middle school. The best part was gathering data. Making a survey online and having student take it electronically was very fast and effective. I surveyed 50 females and 50 males from PMSA. If I had the opportunity to do this research again I would survey at least 200 students and I would survey teenagers outside of PMSA in order to get a larger and more accurate set of data. Overall, my research project came out good and it was a great experience. For future references, I can be contacted at [email protected].
