Personal Narrative: Working At A Science Fair

"I saw the word on a bottle at the Scavenger's stall. He told me got it from near the capital. It’s some fancy tech thing, right?"

“Remember we were looking for something pretty for me to work on. I came up with another idea.”

I deserve a 90 on the science fair project. In my group, my job was to bring down feathers, one type of wool, and the computer. My group members met at my house once and at Miaś house once. We each had a role in the experiment; mine was to wrap the cups with the material and put in in the refrigerator. I did not mess up my job at any time. During the making of the board, I bought construction paper and printed out the slides, but Sissel glued them on. Our board didn¨ẗ turn out very attractive like we it wanted it to, so I deducted points for that.

“I brought a few things with me from the bedroom,” he explained conversationally, as if he wasn't slowly curling a finger into Cloud at that exact moment. “I thought they might come in handy.”

Dai-yu laughed. “So do I. I think you should make sure we can keep it first before giving it a name.”

On my visit to the Dunwoody campus, I could not wait to look around. I've been attending the Math and Science Academy for seven years. Even before my sixth grade year, I have always enjoyed constructing things, playing with building blocks, and making little robots. On the night of my sixth grade orientation, I visited my school to be and was surprised when I walked in the front door. I was greeted by an eight foot tall robot made by high school students. They were part of the program called For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST). I

My schedule for next year will be AP Physics C, AP Chemistry, Multivariable Calculus & Linear Algebra, AP Great Books, AP Spanish 6, and AP Computer Science. While it seems like a lot, it should be manageable considering I will enter AP Physics C, AP Computer Science, Linear Algebra, and AP Spanish 6 with previous experience (hovercraft, astronomy/astrophysics, Physics Olympiad, the summer science program, a decade of Spanish). Outside of the classroom, my other clubs include BinaryHeart, math team, and computer science club, but the time commitment from them are marginal and rarely pass an hour a week. Even with my intense schedule this year, with the same clubs and 6 APs, I have been able to dedicate significant amount of time Science Olympiad.

“Tacy planned to make it into a ring and pendant. I guess I could do that.”

“This is only the beginning, who knows we might find something cool somewhere up here,“ Chad said.

“ You have an important job to pull off for me right now, since you are the best drawer out of this whole building.” He smiles again.

Janine squeezed her hand again, “We make another list. Big things, trivial things, impossible things. Whatever you want Alli.”

“ That could work,” said Nikki, “ But how would we build a time machine?”

Finally after waiting a very long time, the LEGO robotics season had started. I wasthrilled, because this year, I would be building and programming robots. When my dad had told me about the program a week ago, I immediately responded yes, because I loved building LEGOs so much. I remembered spending hours on end wearing out my fingers from snapping together LEGO bricks. It was amazing to think that I would be able to actually build a robot out of LEGOs. LEGO robotics was a popular activity all around the world, and it spread to many countries, two being the U.S and Japan. My dad had said he found it extraordinary because it taught kids about structure, programming, and teamwork. The program was divided into two age groups,one would be the

“So I leave for 15 minutes and you two decide to stop doing stock and instead make box animals?” I say.

“Hey, you could do this for me if you want. Bet that’ll be real interesting.”
