To Rap Or Not To Rap?

This assignment, I think that it did help me improve the knowledge and understanding of Photosynthesis but then again not really. It did help me because I'm a very flexible learner &this would have to be one of the funniest and different type of assignment. It was so fun because I had the chance to record a "platinum-record" with Monica, LOL. Some of the drawbacks would have been the timing and trying to keep up and sing with the beat. It wasn't all that much of a good experience because we didn't really have enough time to work on it and didn't have much time on the weekend like we should have. Also, making a song actually takes much more time and hard work than it does to do a regular assignment. Personally if I had to pick between singing/creating a song about Photosynthesis or do a lab that demonstrates plants giving off oxygen, singing/creating would have been more entreating but then again a lab really does help me experience the concept more.

Thanksgiving Day

There are a lot of things I am thankful for(:

First of all, of course I'm thankful for having such a wonderful family, yeah it's a huge family. I have my older sister Crystal and right now she is a sophomore at UCSD, my other older sister Jessica is a freshman at Fullerton and my older brother is a senior at Monterey Trail High and it was sad for me not to spend this Thanksgiving with them this year, but I did have the rest of my little brothers with me, even though they annoy me at time and get me really mad. I love them too. We all not live close by but we still keep in touch and I thanks god for having such wonderful older brother and sisters teach me right from wrong and being there for me when no one else could. Of course I have to be thankful for my amazing parents, yeah we might argue here and there once in a while or daily but at the end of the day I love them to death and I know they love me no mater what I do. I mean yeah there are days when I say "I hate you" but deep inside I don't mean it, because they give me everything I need, not everything I want but everything I need.

On the other hand, I'm also very thankful for my friends that I have now and for the friends I had. Yeah friends come and go but real friends leave footprints in your heart. I mean I don't know what I would do with out them. They made me who I am today. I think that with out them I wouldn't smile, laugh or act the way I do. My friends may mean the world to me but my family is my world. My friends play a big part in my life(:

Yeah there are some friends that I lost, unfortunately, but like they say, "Good things fall apart so better things can fall together." and everything turns out for the best in the long run. For the new friends that I have made these past of couple of months, I'm thankful for them too, of course.

I really can't describe how thankful I am for having the family members and the friends I have and had in my life(:

When people ask me,"how's life?" I often tend to say, "Ehh pretty good" or "Ohkayy I guess" but I've come to realize that my life is pretty awesome but I often think too much of all the BS I've gone through and I forget how awesome it really is.

Do Science Fair Projects Actually Help "Teach" Science?

In my opinion I think that science fair projects don't necessary help "teach" science because most people just do it to have fun or experiment something new. Also, it doesn't really help "teach" because not everyone does it based on science, most just do it on what they like, and that's not a bad thing. In a way it's a good thing because not everybody learns the same way, everyone learns at their own paste, it's either by text book and work sheets or on-hands activities. Personality I'm very flexible and work both ways. I like to learn by text and work sheets because when I don't understand something I can ask questions, but then again I like to work on-hands activitiesbecause I can feel, see, hear, smell and even taste how the real thing works.
