Circle

Volunteering at The Circle Center was a learning experience is multiple ways, learning in the context of course work, learning about people and their lives, and learning about myself. This experience has helped me increase my self-awareness and realize that I am very introverted and shy when it comes to talking to and interacting with new people.

In rolling circle replication, a nicking protein called relaxase identifies a specific sequence on the DNA and makes a “nick” or cut at that location. The nick is created by the protein and allows the DNA to unwind and continue the process. Once the DNA opens forming an open complex from there a lagging strand will develop along the 3’ template strand due to the polarity and orientation of the strands. A leading strand will emerge and DNA polymerase enlists nucleotides to pair with the exposed…

If only I hadn’t gone around the circle so fast I wouldn’t have gotten stuck in the leaves near grandma’s tennis court, I thought to myself. If only her property were a little bigger, I thought as I dragged the go-kart back onto the circle. “Come on, run!”, I blurted angrily. I yanked the cord one last time as a cold drop of autumn sweat flowed down my frozen cheek. Vroom! The kart shot off kicking up dirt as if it was throwing pieces of chocolate cake in the air. Left, right, left, the kart…

We then discuss a different ideas and concepts including hand washing, germs…

The actual book was really good. I liked the overall idea of the literary circles because it forced me to get out my comfort zone and read a book that I would have naturally vetoed the second I saw it. With that said there isn’t much I would change. I also liked the liitersry circles because they were way better,…
