Science has been my favorite subject for a long time now. Ever since the eighth grade when I began diving into Physics, my passions for science and math have grown exponentially. This is my first year at Beaver as a tenth grader and I could not be more excited about the science program. I am both loving my Honors Chemistry class and doing very well in the course. In ninth grade I took biology, which is one of the reasons why I am petitioning for an advanced physics elective. I want to learn new material so I can be challenged as a science student. Not only have I always loved science, but I have done very well in both science and math classes in the past. During my freshman year at Park, I took a three term biology course and a three …show more content…
Since I have already taken biology, many of the 11th grade courses would be repetitive. I want to be able to take a science class that I am both challenged by and enjoy and I believe the Advanced Physics Electricity & Magnetism Elective would fulfill both. The topics discussed in this class such as, electricity, electrostatics and electric fields, magnetic fields, and the interplay between electric and magnetic fields are intriguing to me. Although I have not taken physics before, I have worked with electricity, electric and magnetic fields and other physics topics in past science courses as well as when I interned with Vermont Electronics. I worked on many projects including wiring a house, coding systems such as Crestron as well as understanding the electronics behind the system, and working with the basics of electric fields. In addition, if I am granted the opportunity to take this course I will email my teacher before next year asking him/her what topics I might need to brush up on before the class. I am a dedicated student and I do whatever it takes to make sure I am prepared for class. I have always had a passion for science and could see myself working with electricity and magnetic/electric fields in my future. I am very hardworking and when I set my mind to something I always reach that
Is college worth it? Is college worth the time and energy you invest? This is a question that many students ask themselves as the cost of college rises and jobs are harder to find. As a 27 year, old college student myself I really thought about this question. I had to think back when I first started college at the age of 18 and how I was excited about starting college. I easily got tired of all the work that it took to get the degree so I dropped out. After having my first child and trying to work and take of her and myself with only making minimal wages, barely get by that when I knew college is worth it. A college education is one of the most reliable paths to financial success for students and gives the opportunity
Ever since I was a little kid I loved the performing arts and I never thought that I would eventually fall in love with science . After an intense and challenging year of Chemistry my sophomore year, I was hesitant and nervous in signing up for my junior year science class. Toward the end of my sophomore year my chemistry teacher, Mr. Bowditch, told me he thought I would do well in Advanced Placement Environmental Science. I was in a state of disbelief because I was struggling trying to get a C in Chemistry and I was thinking how was I supposed to take AP Environmental Science class. After a conversation with my parents, they had persuaded me to sign up and we agreed if i didn't like it or it was too hard I would be able to drop the class.
...t you are interested in only one or two topics, ten perhaps that class is not for you. Continue your research until you find out the one that suits your needs the most – the one you will benefit most out of.
Like Kathy, I enjoy science classes because they're equally challenging and time consuming. I also look forward to learning new concepts and problem solving in my math classes. However, my favorite class throughout high school, has been psychology. Learning the basis of human behavior and the mind, psychology introduced me to current theories and issues in areas such as cognition, motivation, and wellness. I believe I have the qualities to someday become an exceptional nurse practitioner. High school has taught me time management, the importance of ones health, and good study habits. If I continue using these helpful skills, I will be on the track to becoming a nurse practitioner in no
Surrounded by thousands of stars, complete silence, and spectacular mountains, I stood atop the Colorado Mountain Peak awestruck by nature's beauty. Immediately, I realized that I must dedicate my life to understanding the causes of the universe's beauty. In addition, the hike taught me several valuable lessons that will allow me to increase my understanding through scientific research.
Not everybody loves Biology,.. either do I. I always terrify at those subjects. They are difficult, dry, bloody, and involved to a lot of memorization. A side from that there are tons of reasons that hold me back from becoming a nurse. I don’t like the subjects, I am scared of blood. Despite all of that, I found that it is challenging.When I was in 11th grade I had the passion for chemistry. I like doing all the labs, observing chemical reactions, and combine or calculate the percentage of substances. I always think that chemistry is the most excited class I have ever took besides math, and foreign language.
I am a dedicated, focused student looking to push the boundaries of Engineering Physics with creative out of the box thinking. I have the drive to be successful and positively represent UBC Engineering Physics. I have a passion for physics and math which is why I believe this program is so appealing and a perfect choice. Having already started, run and sold a successful landscaping company, I have experience in entrepreneurship and have determined being an entrepreneur is something I want to pursue in the future. I believe Engineering Physics would give me the opportunity and breadth of knowledge to make my entrepreneurial vision a reality and allow me to find solutions to the issues that will impact the future of humanity.

In the generation we live in now college is not option or privilege. College nowadays is necessity. The big question is that is college education worth it. College can be worth it, but it also is not worth. I will explain why in this paper. A lot of people are successful, and they haven’t stepped a foot in a college, and they are doing better than a person who has received a degree. Both sides of the argument have a view.
The other way general education courses are very helpful. Is if, for example, you excelled at science in high schoo...
In Applied Science I have found biology a really engaging aspect of the course. The particular topic, which has sparked my interest, was learning about neurotransmitters and the brain. This has built upon my knowledge of how varied levels of neurotransmitters can cause different diseases and how they can be treated, for example, low levels of serotonin is associated with depression.
Education is one of the most important heritage that a father can give to his son. Education is the greatest inheritance a parent can leave to the son, being educated is not to acquire knowledge but more than that it be lack of ignorance. Someone once said that “I do not read for more intelligence but rather to be less ignorant”, these words have a world between them, because many people study for a degree not for gain knowledge. Education can be defined as the wealth of knowledge acquired by an individual that would be a common way to define which education, but is also the most seen college students? This is the biggest mistake of most college students, which go to colleges
...things I like the most about my degree program is that it is not all about academic studies even though it is heavily science-oriented. In that regard, my classes do emphasize atomic physics and chemistry, but they also offer substantial opportunity for practical experience. In the words of Professor Hejny, "It's not just classes; clinicals, homework, and practical experience make this a full-time program."
is being taught in the courses I have listed a few of the topics covered I feel that are important to
I am currently taking Maths, Chemistry and Biology to Advanced Higher, all of which are challenging and stimulating subjects. They have all influenced me in different ways and were integral in my decision to pursue a degree in Chemical Engineering. They have also helped me obtain a foundation of core skills and extended knowledge to hopefully prepare me undertaking my desired degree. There is no doubt that Maths and chemistry have helped fine tune and advance my problem solving skills and think in a more logical manner, all of which I believe to be essential for this degree.
Science is about understanding and building knowledge about how the natural world works. It explains the inter-relationship with one's life and nature and promotes environmental education and more so environmental habits. Science teaches us as learners’ important skills such as reasoning, problem solving, analyzing, predicting, etc. It builds a foundation by providing a base in case a child does not go to higher level of education. Since science is all around us it is important to teach it so that the children could learn about themselves and their environment. Science also provides the knowledge needed to create new pieces of technology, which scientists used to develop civilization. For example, rather than writing
