elementary school to constructing science fair projects for six consecutive years had me realize how far I had come without really questioning science. The year I had made it past the first phase of the science fair was in the fourth grade. My dad and I had constructed a clay model of the human ear. It was the first time I had put so much effort into my project. All of the teachers were able to pick two students from their classes to present…

was completely self-taught! Throughout my life, self-learning has played an important role in a variety of areas. I was nine when my dad gave me an old pocket computer. The machine fascinated me, and, with the help of a textbook, I began writing my first programs shortly thereafter.

Tuesday: Multimedia Production 2313 Being completely honest, on the first day of class I had no clue what to expect of this course. Just from the title and description of the course I was certain it would require technical and creative skills. Two things I do not have and after I read Dr. Matthews' email I knew this class would be intense, however, that did not intimidate me. Last semester was my most difficult semester.

High School, especially my Junior year, has been academically challenging and showing me what I am capable of doing. The most challenging course I have taken is AP Chemistry, because of the difficult lessons that I needed to learn. My class, along with my teacher were great, but many materials were required for me to learn and know in preparation for the AP exam. Overall it was a little overwhelming, but when it was time to take the exam, I knew many of the answers to questions I would have…

While the kids are eating and watching their morning show, I will do my first homework assignment that is the next to be due. After breakfast is done I will clean the house…
choose between keeping my teammate happy or make our implementation more efficient and in time with our schedule. I realized the choice was an illusion, and I had to find the way to accomplish both. I prepared my arguments and called for a meeting. First and foremost, I praised his code for what it really was: an eloquent…
Science Autobiography My first memories of science lessons in elementary school are from kindergarten, when we made sock puppets filled with dirt and grass seed.

When I got the chance to bring it home, I put it in the window in the kitchen, so everyone could see it. I was so proud of that thing. In first grade we raised butterfly eggs into larvae to a chrysalis, into…
