Recommended: Why is it important for kids to learn about the Holocaust

As a sophomore I have grown more as a student and a global citizen this second semester. I have gained more knowledge and have investigated the world even more than before. I have gained more knowledge in Science, but specifically more in Environmental Science. In Environmental Scince I was able to go on a cruise and do a hands on experiment that had to do with the marine ecosystem. This year I have also been able to investigate the world, more in AP European history and have learned about the Holocaust and how it all led up to it. I have grown in knowledge in Environmental Science and an evidence in my growth was the Marine Protection Agency Cruise. The MPA cruise was a trip that my class made to Newport Beach and do a lab experiment on the boat. My group and I were given the task of doing the section of the lab where we had to analyze the plankton species found in the protected area. The objective of our task was to find out if Crystal Cove Alliance has been doing their job and have everything stable and is at their goal. I …show more content…

As an evidence of my growth in AP European history would be when I went to the Museum of Tolerance. The Museum of Tolerance is a museum that lets you learn about the Holocaust and being able to see the point of view on a Jewish person. As well as being able to become a part of how their journey may have led them to their death. I was able to go on a tour where I had to see the life of a Jewish child during this time period and see his whole journey, and at the end of the tour I would find out if my child survived the Holocaust or died. After the tour I was also able to hear the story of a Holocaust Survivor and listen to her whole journey of life from then until today. This piece of evidence has shown my growth because I was able to see more visually a horrific time period that occurred in European history and hear it from someone that was able to witness

    Perhaps the most visible and obvious structural issue revolves around the aquarium's mission statement and goals. As noted in the case study, the original mission statement "make known the world of water through education, research, and exhibition" concentrates on its goal to bring sea life to the community. The new mission statement saw the aquarium as a "responsive community resource that attracts the broadest possible audience delivering highest quality experience" and as "a culturally diverse staff."

  • New Museology: Modernizing Museums

    1038 Words  | 3 Pages

    ‘New museology’ is the concept of modernising museums and making them more interesting and interactive for the visitors. The District Six Museum is a good example of new museology because it is a relatively new museum that was started and run by the community, not the state and it is very different to older museums. It is very appropriate to have a museum like this in South Africa, because what happened in District Six should not be forgotten and museums like this one encourage people to visit them and find out more about what has happened. Part of new museology is to teach people more about what happened in the past by using more interactive displays; the District Six Museum does this by using a range of interesting and interactive displays.

  • Personal Narrative: My Sophomore Year

    330 Words  | 1 Pages

    Sophomore year definitely had a lot of ups and down that will influence my decisions in the future. One of the most influential class I had was English. Especially managing my time. In English, we learned to analyze text in the book and it allowed me to pay more attention to the meaning in the context rather than just reading the words. English class made me think a lot and this honestly the first time I learned numerous lessons. In the past I have always waited to the last minute and procrastinate, but in English the first semester, we wrote a lot of essays that required time. the main reason I would procrastinate is because throughout middle school and freshman year, we hardly had any homework and so I was very lazy and reluctant to do work.

  • The Positive And Negative Impact Of Cruise Ship Tourism In Tauranga

    919 Words  | 2 Pages

    At one point in the last year there were three ships in Tauranga’s harbour, the were the Voyager of the Seas which held 3000 people, the Seven Seas Mariner with 700 people on board and Seaborne Odyssey with 462. These three ships were investigated by the international network Friends of the Earth, they found out that all three failed the environmental assessment set by them. Royal Caribbean international had A 's for sewage and water quality, but F for air pollution. The same goes for The Seaborne Odyssey but Regent Seven Seas Cruises is the worst with a C+ for sewage, A for water Quality and again F for air pollution. The F means that they failed to co-operate with Friends of the Earth processes. Having all three cruises in Tauranga running for a day or two would have had bad impacts in Tauranga’s clean air, the average cruise ship realises more sulphur dioxide than 13 million cars. To fix this problem, Friends of the Earth are influencing people to choose their cruise after looking at the environmental effects right now Carnival cruises has the best environmental rating. To limit air pollution at New Zealand ports, more cruises opt to use off shore power while

    On Monday, December 7th I went to visit the Natural History Museum. It was my first time going to that one and I found it very interesting. I was around freely. I walked into several different rooms that had a different idea behind each of them. The main theme behind the whole museum was just basic history. I first observed the wild animals. They were fake stuffed animals that were inside cubes. Most of these stuffed animals creeped me out but as I saw a lot of them, I felt more comfortable. They each had their own section and description. In the description it talked about where the animal came from and what they ate. I found many of the animals interesting. My favorite were the Spotted Hyenas. I then saw all the minerals that were displayed
