I graduated high school in 2014 with a 4.0 GPA, was in the top ten percent of my class, and was accepted to Pennsylvania State University. Everything had gone right for me, and I was excited to begin my college career. The only problem was, I did not know what I wanted to major in, let alone what I wanted to be in my life. I chose Penn State because they had a great program for students who were undecided. My hope was that I would suddenly have an epiphany and realize what career I wanted to…
Initial Goals: My initial goals for the program was to take in an equation like 5*(4/3+2^(3-1)) and return the answer to it (26.666667 in this case).

Hundreds of children talking all at once, that’s what morning at Illini Elementary School sounded like. And there I sat having no one to talk to. Until one day a new girl came through the school doors. She was as tall as a giant and had short black box braids. This girl sat down by all the other children in my grade.

Vitamin A Vitamin A plays a critical role in assuring normal vision and immune function, as well as gene expression and growth (Lukaski, 2004). Vitamin A takes its active form as retinol, which we typically get from foods from animals, such as eggs, liver, dairy products, and fish oil (Benardot, 2006). Beta carotene has been established as a precursor for vitamin A, so consuming foods rich in this carotenoid is another way to obtain vitamin A in the diet (Benardot, 2006). This discussion…

Appraisal My link to the strand is Syncopation and my composition is written in a reggae style. I like the offbeat feel of this style of music and syncopation was something I wanted to explore within it. A well-known Caribbean musician is Bob Marley and I know that he uses a lot of syncopation in one of his best songs “three little birds”.
