Without this protein, connective tissues are susceptible to breaking, ripping, or tearing (Atinder). Some areas that are more directly affected by…

Looking back at my goal assignment I made in October, I honestly became somewhat disappointed in myself in my first two goals. My first goal of achieving a 6:20 mile was not obtained. By the time I made the first goal assignment, my best mile time was 6:59 but in the first mile I did at the beginning of the school year, I got 7:42---currently it’s at 6:33.

In brief, with funding, an experiment on patients, ages 5-20, will be asked to receive either the beta-blocker therapy or the…
