My academic success is so important to me that I changed schools prior to my junior year to a place that offered more AP courses than where I was previously enrolled. I am proud of my success in AP Biology, AP Economics, AP English Language, AP Human Geography, and AP Environmental Science. My passion for higher learning truly surfaced in my ecology project and group presentation in AP Biology about polar bears. Although I found AP courses challenging, through my strong work ethic and perseverance, I earned top marks in all the completed courses.

Throughout my education I excelled in every subject, until I entered high school. I began to take more rigorous courses and my grades began to drop. The coursework was a dozen times harder than any other courses I’ve ever taken and I struggled greatly. Instead of taking one AP course my junior year, I took three: English Literature, Physics 1, and Psychology.

For as long as I can remember learning has always intrigued me. I desired to be the best at learning to read in first grade, the best at learning multiplication facts in fourth grade, and the best at learning to titrate acids and bases in eleventh grade. Striving to learn the most has simply become a habit of mine. Throughout high school, my schedule was always filled with honors and AP classes allowing me to learn more and more everyday.

The interactive intellectual environment draws me toward the prestigious school. I hope to one day graduate from Carnegie Mellon University with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering and to then begin a successful and purposeful career ignited by my

Discussion: From the lift curve slope it is noticed that the stall angle of the aerofoil is about 12º, the lift curve slope shows the formation of bubbles. It is also noticed that post stall, the reduction of lift is quite smooth, hence the aerofoil exhibits smooth stall behavior. The static pressure contour and the velocity vector flow over the aerofoil, taken from the CFD results show a better picture of the aerofoil. Observing, all the static pressure contour, it is noticed that the, main concentration of the negative pressure region (in blue) shifts towards the leading edge of the aerofoil as the angle of attack (α) increases.
