...Being involved in Honors Program, I had a chance to take some classes that are not available for everyone. Studying in smaller groups and going deeper in the subjects, I felt special. I really enjoyed such classes as Calculus for Business (HON) and Becoming a Global Manager (HON) that totally related to my Business major. I feel really honored to have had such a great chance of taking those classes. It was also great because the professors focused on each student in particular, which gave an opportunity to grasp every aspect, every detail of the classes. Now, I feel confident about my ability to communicate with different people (especially with those who are more talented or more intelligent in some way). I am definitely able to develop a way more various topics and support almost any discussion. That is how Honors Program has helped me so far. It gave me some motivation to strive to higher levels of both education and everyday life. Being surrounded by the Honors students, I feel that I want to belong to this society, to feel that I am not worse or weaker in any field, any area of studies. Today, I think I know what ambitions and what friends I should have. What I have noticed is that students are obsessed with their GPA height and willingness to be one of the best according to their exam results’ percentages. I personally do not think that exam results are the best way to reflect students’ knowledge; especially, when a final grade is made out not from just quizzes...

...both Hidden Figures and The Right Stuff is how the films characterized their heroes. Both movies rely on identifiable images of an American hero to in their presentation of the people that worked at NASA. One of the traits that defines an American hero is their boldness of character, their willingness to do what others haven’t. U.S. News and World Report reporter, Roger Simon, conveys the idea, “To be an American is to dare. We will sometimes fail because failure is part of being a human being. But our failures do not define us. Our daring does” (Simon 10). American visionaries have created many positive changes for America. The spirit of these heroes can easily be seen throughout...

...Steps to Moving to a new country Mayar Lampkin Everest University Ever wonder what it is like to move to a new country? Well wonder no more I will tell you. Moving to a new country can be fun and exciting adventure but it takes a lot of work and planning. Before you go and experience the new culture make sure you do research on the country. Another is to make sure you have the right paper work and documentation. The last step is to make sure you pack up essentials. It sounds like a lot and hard work but in the end it is all worth it. Doing research about the country you will live in is very important because you will be informed about the cultures and customs of the country. Also researching what cities are safe to live in and what cities are dangerous is good way of keeping yourself safe and out of trouble. Make sure to research living situations is it mostly apartment/condo living or is it houses? Knowing that information is good for when you are packing because you will know how much space you will have. A good way of research is finding a group on a social media website and asking them questions about the country and living situations. This step will be the most important step out of all three. Having the right paperwork and documentation is very important or you can get in serious trouble and or road blocks along the way. Making sure you know what you need is important.

...is when I went to my first day in middle school. I was so scared that didn’t even want to go to school. When we got school we went to the cafeteria. The principal assign all our classes. First, I went to my 1st hour class. My 1st class was science. My science teacher’s name is Mrs. Hamblin. ’’Welcome to Beer Middle School,’’ our teacher said with excitement , ’’in this class we are going to do fun experiment.’’ Mrs. Hamblin started to assign seats. I had no problem with I will I be sitting. Next, until 1st hour was finished we went to our 2nd hour. I was confused where I was going. I really did not see all my classes. So, I asked some of the other teachers for help. ’’Excuse me, at any chance do you know where room 208 is?’’ I asked politely. ’’Go down, turn, keep on walking forward, and turn at the end to the left.’’ The teacher replied. It was so weird of all the twist and turns. Then, I finally found the room. I went in my next class, which is S.S. (Social Studies)....

...investigation. On viewing the data, I noticed the absences from seventh grade classes’ show highest at Kennedy Middle School followed by a decreasing trend of absences in Jackson, Truman, and Roosevelt middle schools, respectively. The data for all other classes, Art Band, and PE were compared between the four schools. Across all schools, there are common peaks in absence for PE between May18th and May 25th, however, these peaks appear to be minimal at around 10%. There is no noticeable trend in art absences between the four schools. Band absences at Truman and Jackson Middle schools on May 20th show a 33% and 25% absence rate, respectively. Based on these observations, the overall absence rates are attributed to Band students at Truman and Jackson Middle schools. I came up with two testable hypotheses as to what I think is behind the absences. Based on the letter from the Principle from Truman Middle School, she stated last year her School had a widespread outbreak of the flu. Hypothesis: If the symptoms and events of the health issue is similar to the last flu outbreak, then the students may have contracted and spread the flu. The second hypothesis based on the Information from the Health Department Inspections which show that “Take Your Chances Diner” and “Delicious” restaurants had violations for sanitation, food storage, and food preparation. Hypothesis: If children from the band classes ate at unsanitary Dinner, then they may have contracted food poising. Six testable...

There is first class, main cabin or otherwise known as economy plus, and basic economy. In first class you get to board first, and have time to put your things away while the stewardess brings you a wash cloth and fancy beverage. There is more leg room, and an abundance of space for more comfort. First class gets the best service with the kinder staff. In the economy plus you have a little extra leg room than economy. There is about the same comforts of first class such as being able to board sooner, and faster friendly service. The economy seating is the lowest class seating. Meaning you get the basic necessities needed to endure travel, and if you want more you better get your credit card out to pay for it. In America we have a social structure just as an airplane.

...welcome to science olympiad! Hmmm well if it’s your first year I would definitely try different things even if they’re out of your comfort zone. A mistake a lot of my friends make their first year of scioly is picking events that are related to the classes they’ve taken in school. This might seem like a good idea, but it really doesn’t give you as much of an advantage as you would expect because the scioly tests are college level material and beyond. To be honest, every event is challenging so you’re best off picking an event you’re genuinely interested in. If I could go back to my first year of high school scioly knowing what I know now I’d pick disease detectives and thermodynamics. I did disease detectives this year and in middle school and LOVED IT. You need to study specified diseases and how they spread and other miscellaneous stuff. If you like puzzles and making inferences then you should definitely try it out. It’s interesting since it’s more problem solving/mystery than memorizing facts plus if you’re actually interested in the material the test is super easy. The test gives you some scenarios of a disease outbreak and you need to answer questions based on making inferences from the background they give you and miscellaneous stuff about terminology. Thermodynamics is a building event with a test. It might help to have a little background in physics (like taking an honors or AP class) but if you haven’t taken a physics course yet try getting a partner (each event allows 1...

...High School Reflection My high school experience was good and bad at the times. What I enjoyed the most from high school were the classes and the teachers in the classes. My moments are not a lot because I really don’t talk in class; I just try not to get attention on myself. My moments were mostly just times in class when I was with friends working together and getting to know each other while talking. Another moment that I would remember would be how everybody makes fun of each other, even the teachers. What I least enjoyed from high school were the people that were doing bad things to eat. How they wanted to destroy the school by burning, littering, and graffiti. Another thing that I didn’t like was how some teachers teach their lessons in class, they teach one way that you would understand but then give something hard. I didn’t like how some people were bothering me during classes about dumb stuff and just didn’t shut up. I also didn’t enjoy the little party festivals that they had during school because they were not that interesting. During my freshman year I came in with a positive attitude to school. Then, after 9th grade I became more of a lazy person and began to lower my grades and got my first F. My 11th grade I was beginning to get my mind straight and tried not to get lower grades. So I would say I changed into a person that I didn’t want to become, a lazy person. Now in my senior year I’m not going to fail because it’s the last chance so there is no time for...
