Hola. Hej.
Алло. Salut. Oi.
Hello, from the widespread range of the
Typha latifolia plant.
My name is Kendra and I am the artisan of this webpage! As an
assignment for an Organismal Biology class, we chose an organism
to create a page on. Why did I choose the common cattail,
Typha latifolia? I love being outdoors. I grew up with a creek and
swampy area in my backyard. I would always go down near the
water to find cattails because I LOVED to pull them apart. The
velvet on the outside does not even compare to the softness
inside. I’m sure I did my fair share of spreading this already
invasive and weedy plant, because I was actually pulling out and
spreading the seeds!
Although my wetland adventures are over, I
still enjoy being outside. I’m not too excited about our long
winters in Wisconsin, but I enjoy skiing and that makes it seems
like a shorter season. I like to be outside as much as possible
during the summer to make up for the bitter winters. I enjoy
waterskiing, gymnastics, tennis, biking and the occasional run. As a
student, I currently go to University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. I am
majoring in biomedical sciences with a pre-med emphasis and minors
in French and chemistry. I love speaking different languages, and I
cannot wait to study abroad in France and learn a new lifestyle. I
hope to do as much traveling as possible while I’m still young, and
I can’t wait to see what life brings!
