About me
Hi, my name is Elise Montesinos and I’ve created this website
for an Organismal Biology class at the
University of
Wisconsin-La Crosse. I plan to major in biomedical sciences
and minor in Spanish. I hope to go to dental school and eventually
become an orthodontist where I can pick out leftover watermelon from
braces. (I can’t wait!)
I grew up in Verona, Wisconsin, a town right next to Madison. From growing up right next to Madison, I’m a
huge Wisconsin sports fan, especially for the Badgers. Not only do I love watching sports, but I like to
play them as well. I’ve played just about every sport at some
point in my life, but my favorites are lacrosse and
snowboarding. Living in Wisconsin, snowboarding keeps me
entertained and thankful for the long, snowy winters.
Like I just stated, I've made this website for a biology class.
The project consisted of choosing an organism that is used in
food, and making a
website about it. I chose the watermelon
because I figured it would be a relatively easy organism to
research and write about. However, it turned out to be not as
easy to research as I had originally thought. Not too many people think
about the Citrullus lanatus as being a plant, so
factors such as reproduction were not easy to find. Although it
was difficult at times, learning about the watermelon became
increasingly more interesting to me. Now, whenever I eat
watermelon, I have a much higher appreciation for it, and
hopefully after exploring my website, you will too!
Thank you for visiting my webpage all about the wonderful
watermelon. I encourage you to check out other great organisms
on the
Multiple Organisms website.
