To describe a Hershey's kiss may seem easy because of its small structure, but for me it is almost impossible to describe. Simple words can only describe its beauty and its wonderful taste, but only vaguely. Despite the tiny figure the Hershey Kiss has, it is made up of 3 components that makes it recognizable to everyone, and also so amazing. The beauty of the chocolate is covered by a shiny coloured foil, and peeking from out of the foil is a paper flag that reads “KISSES” in bold light blue…

Motivation to Pursue Science: From the time that I was in the fourth grade, I knew the career path that I wanted to pursue. At a young age, I was inspired by roller coasters, so much in fact that I was often get scolded for doodling them in my notebooks during class time.
