Process: To start the problem I drew about 20 rectangles to represent the pool table in the problem and recorded the dimensions and rebounds by each rectangle. This took me about 3 days and…
One day while searching on YouTube, a trending video of “Kendrick Lamar Swimming Pools” showed up on my page. I thought to myself, “ughh, another trash trap song, but might as well listen to it.” I have engraved this through teachers and parents who had disapproved rap music, hating its supposed profanity and obscenity, and told me that some good old classical Mozart would be better for my intellectual development. Because I was the asian who had straight A’s and played piano and violin,…
The Lake It was a miserably hot day in Grayson Lake, Kentucky.Country Music filled the air, originating from the pontoon boats cruising by.This lake was unlike any other I had seen before.It was more like a river, because of it being long and not so wide.There was a storm a couple days earlier so branches and pieces of bark were scattered throughout the water.

get out of the pool having finished their set knowing I was only three quarters of the way through. And I hated having to tell people what my best times were. I spent the summer before junior year swimming for a local club team, a first for me but old news for every other competitive swimmer. The practices were at 6:30 in the morning. The pool was half an hour away. It required serious determination to get up every calm summer morning to spend two hours staring at the bottom of a pool. It worked…
