The subjects which I have chosen to continue at A level, are subjects which I find both stimulating and enjoyable. I have always wanted to study maths and science, over the arts, as I find that this appeals to the logical side of my mind. In general, STEM subjects come more naturally to me, and therefore, I would like to study Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, and Physics in sixth-form, also believing that they will also be vital for the science-related job I would like to find in the future. In…

As a freshman, I struck a deal with myself: I would focus on Bible Quizzing and on the Academic Team until I graduated high school, and once I began college, I would focus solely on mathematics. This concentration would allow me to compete at a much higher level in both activities while only sacrificing a few years of studying mathematics. Fortunately, it has worked almost perfectly; I have Bible quizzed multiple times at the National level, have placed third and fourth at State while on the…

As the class finishes up the prototyping unit, I think about my personal experiences during the planning, prototyping, and creation of my media charging stand. A few changes were made along the way to a successful project, but overall, I am happy with the outcome. I will walk you through my thought process and experiences as I applied my skills (or lack thereof), while we worked in the wood shop. At the beginning of the unit, we were presented with a problem. We had to design a few sketches of…

Careers in the automotive field are always a great necessity in today’s society. You can always count on the fact that people will need assistance with their automobiles. Throughout the years up until today, the evolution with cars have skyrocketed; with style, dynamics, technology, and also safety precautions. A key component that designers still take into consideration is how far along designs have come from the birth of the seemingly prehistoric Hot Rod. The technology available today are a…

Iphone screens have really progressed from the time they originally came out. With new technological advancements they now use a screen made of thin, yet strong material called “Gorilla Glass”. When “compared to other brands of glass Corning’s Gorilla Glass is particularly: hard, thin, lightweight, and scratch resistant.” According to Anne Marie Helmenstine, “The glass consists of a thin sheet of alkali-aluminosilicate.” The glass is then “strengthened using an ion-exchange process which forces…

The discipline of science has been my future aspiration ever since I was young. Science for me acts as a frame to view the world around me. The excitement I feel when discovering how reactions work and how chemicals behave, for example how there is specific amount of iodine requires changes the color of thiosulfate ions, made me envision myself as a chemist. The idea that there are limitless possibilities for beneficial creations for mankind has especially fuelled me to explore chemistry. But,…

Over the years, I have had a variety of career interests. At age five, I was determined to become a princess. At age 12, a choir director seemed like the best profession for me. When I was fifteen, I wanted to become a nurse. Finally, as a senior in high school, I figured out what type of career I actually want to pursue for the rest of my life. After much consideration, many pros and cons lists, and some input from my family, I finally made the decision to pursue mathematics education. I know…

Alternate Major A general curiosity of numerical calculations in the existence of matter is the major root-cause for majoring in Chemistry. In essence, a lack thereof of such curiosity fuels the desire to transition from Chemistry to another science-related fields. One popular change is from Chemistry to Biology. I personally think that changing my major to Biology will be the easy route to take because the comparison between the two illustrates a rather compelling idea of 39 credits to obtain…

Forget Shakespeare, I’m going to be an engineer. I consider myself a very math and science oriented person; I am not a social studies or English person. I have problems memorizing dates and remembering what Louis the 14th did during his reign. And I can't think of thesis statements off the top of my head, instead it takes me hours of rewriting and crossing things out. I do, however, know how to use data. I love learning about the world around us from the smallest cells in biology, to imploding…

One of the primary responsibilities assigned to Ms. Pabbaraju will be to translate business requirements and functional specifications into program designs and code modules.
