Ever since I was young I have recognized my intrinsic passion for leadership, service, and computers. Although I was never known to turn down a game of capture the flag or flashlight tag, I spent a lot of my time reading about the Navy SEALs or about how to distinguish an F-15 Eagle from an F-14 Tomcat. I would stay up late to figure out how to make programs or build websites for fun. One of the more vivid memories I have is when I decided to disassemble my family’s new x486 computer, only to…

The communication at camp is necessary to ensure safety and fun while the children are at camp for the weekend. I saw a great deal of communication between the directors, nurses, consolers, and cooking staff. There were times that there had to be a large amount of communication between all the staff but, I was also able to see the communication that occurred within one field when a problem…

Progesterone levels in fur seals (Arctocephalus forsteri) are used to predict pregnancy rates and ultimately generate population estimates.

I was just looking at the blood red seals on my arms. Three in total one on each bicep and another one on my shoulder. Father explained that the one on my left bicep was magic that would collect and reflect the enemy magic that others used to attack me. The one on the right bicep would essentially allow me to copy others magic and make a seal on it for me to use any other time. The third seal, had five layers that would come off each time I used it. Causing harm to me, but also granting me…

To the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure; at least through the eyes of one Albus Dumbledore, when he is asked why he doesn’t fear the thought of dying (Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, 215). “The Seventh Seal”, a film by Ingman Bergman, however, dramatizes death as a character the protagonist interacts with and not simply an unavoidable force a nature to be faced at any given moment.
