With 2 sciences and a history already on my schedule, the thought of a freshman symposium was almost too much, especially considering I knew nothing about what a class called Secret Communications would entail. I had absolutely no idea what would be expected of me, and I feared that this class would simply be another complex seminar with a rigid criteria and little room for creativity or…

Each organism is classified into groups depending on the characteristics of the species, this is called taxonomy. Invented by the Swedish scientist, Carolus Linnaes, the taxonomy system simplifies organism classification by ordering the species into seven major categories: Kingdom, Phylum , Class , Order , Family , Genus , and Species (Meier, Shiyang, Vaidya, & Ng, 2006).

After being in Middle School for a whole year, I started brain storming ideas for my next project for 7th grade. I thought about a Hammoking area, a free period, but I kept thinking about agendas and student ID’s. I knew that agendas were an issue for GMS. Students have to carry them everywhere. For example, when you use the bathroom you must get it signed and take it with you. School bathrooms are disgusting, the smell, the germs, everything. We students have to set our agendas either on the…
