Overall, I loved being in the caf’e. The environment was comforting and having my classmates around me helped. It was nice to come in a room where I can shut off all my other thoughts and just focus in poetry. I felt that the cafe was a safe place to share my thoughts without other people judging. And of course, I enjoyed having snacks. The food always helped me wake up and get focused. Plus, who would complain about getting to eat snacks when you come in class?

The Relationship between Calf Sizes, Gender, and Vertical Jumps Laura Thompson Mikaela Toler, Cassandra Jenkins, Kionna Calloway BSC 228-202 Introduction A human leg is made of many muscles that affect a person’s ability to jump. For example, the gastrocnemius, soleus, quadriceps, gluteus maximus, and abdominal muscles all help a person achieve a vertical jump. (McCollum, 2015). So, in other words, it basically takes the entire lower body to jump, not just the calf. This lab’s goal, however,…
