I was going strong until the last 3 weeks, at that time between finals and papers due a wrench was thrown into my schedule causing my days be consumed with something in which I did…

Throughout my elementary school years, from grades kindergarten to 5th grade, I attended a small private school in the town that I lived. My school was, Lake Area Christian and though there are some aspects of my time at this school that I regret, there are many things that I am grateful for. Attending such a small school during my earlier years really helped me begin to acclimate with other children on a smaller scale and learn to navigate looking different than other children. The smaller…

Self-Reflection This college semester went very well for me, compared to last semester. I have all A’s and B’s thus far in my classes. Although I focus the majority of my effort in my Nursing classes. Some obstacles that I have encountered would be dividing my time between school and my family and friends. I have coped with this by spending my weekends with my loved ones when I do not have to study for that small period of time. Being a commuter is also a struggle that I face going to…

Another problem that I had during the school year was dropping too many classes to where I did not meet the 67% completion rate. By taking 14 credit hours I will not be able to drop any class otherwise I will fall below the full time student requirements. The reason I did not meet the required amount of hours this school year was due to failing classes. The classes I failed this year were Biology, Biology Lab, Micro Computer Applications and College Algebra. Since…

that naturally light up! In fact, many different types of creatures that live in the water light up: squid, eel, jellyfish, which can be seen to the right in figure one, and many various species of fish have the ability to do such. The ability, called bioluminescence, is defined as “ the emission of light from living organisms”, according to Merriam-Webster. More informally, it is considered the ability where a creature, which can live either on or off-land, can produce their own light. Some…

the accepted principle for optics originated from the Greeks and stated that the eye gives off light itself to produce images of objects . However, Al-Haytham considered situations in the real world that simply didn’t agree with the Greek findings, such as why objects like the moon can’t be illuminated from great distances. Al-Haytham formulated that the eye is instead a receptor of light, and that light is dispersed and diffused in geometric patterns. This is one of the fascinating things…
