What I Want With My Life

1. Define science – Science is the development of concepts about the natural world , often by using the scientific method

Growing up I have always had huge goals set for myself and I have had a lot of obstacles that have had a big impact on where I want to go in life. Those obstacles made me realize that maybe I can be different my life and that lead me to where I am today, senior year at Mountain View High School. I’m Caroline Kalcheff, and this is how I used my past issues to develop my future goals and dreams.

Science is important to learn and study because it helps up to understand how things are created and function in the world. Events that happen in the natural world are explained based off of observation and experience.

In the two essays being discussed we learn that science has a vast range of definitions. Science is the effort to understand (or to understand better), the history of the natural world and how the natural world works with observable physical evidence as the base of understanding. Science is about how the hypothesis is developed and how well it is defended.

Where one grows up affects their lifestyle and character; one’s surroundings shape his or her outlook on the world. Many people always say when growing up in the city one will be used to a diverse, hasty going, and exhilarating life; while growing up in the country one will be used to a deliberate, steadier, and bucolic life. Although moving to Mississippi was a dramatic alteration, I can explicitly acknowledges the menaces–death, robberies, and fights–encountered growing up in the city. Therefore, moving to the south may have been a better alternative involving my physical well-being, regardless of the many emotional struggles. Moving down south to Mississippi from Illinois showed me the struggles of coping with racism and prejudice people,

With no doubt; science has been defined in many ways with its meaning with time. According to Layton, J. (2011), science is the outline as the body of knowledge and process of understanding the natural world. In other words, science is the outline as the aspect of discovering facts in the universe through evaluating what worked in the past, how

People are categorized all their life by themselves, their peers, and strangers. Each person is put in a category based on race, age, gender, etc.. In Circles of My Multicultural Self, I put twelve different identifiers and descriptors that defines who I am right now. They are the following: middle-class, complex, hard-worker/driven, agnostic, girlfriend, generous/kind, athletic, adopted, female, future counseling psychologist, and Asian (Korean). The three most impactful identifiers and descriptors are complex, girlfriend, and hard-worker/driven. ‘Complex’ is mostly due to what has been going on in my life, and it describes how my personality, ‘Girlfriend’ describes one of the most relevant events that is going in my life. ‘Hard-worker/driven’ goes hand-in-hand together as it allows me to focus on what I want out of life and college.

What is science? A question everybody knows but only few choose to answer. A question that never goes out of style, a question that can trigger someone to jump off of the window for being the most “cliché” question that a teacher can ask. Name all those thoughts, but if we look on the other side of it, science had contributed a lot of things in the world and in our lives.

Describe your educational career and life goals. Explain your plan for achieving these goals. Include your degree/major, why you selected it, and how this degree/major will help you achieve your goals.

I think that science gives us a more of a reason to wonder and to be even more curious. For example, Jonah was super curious about what important Americas were doing when the first atomic bomb was dropped in Japan. Jonah realized later that what he was actually wanting to know was what was the father of the atomic bomb and his family doing that day. Once he knew what the whole family was doing on that day he wanted to know more about them not really much about the bomb anymore. Then he ended up on a huge journey that led to the end of the world and him being the dictator of this island. That’s really what happens in real life with things that we look for. When we go out looking for answers we usually find an answer to something completely different to our original question. If science were the destruction of wonder once we found the answer to our question we wouldn’t really know what to do with this information we would just have useless information. “Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.” Those people that don’t get anything out of the information they have received tend to become irritated. Many people don’t really know what to do with the information because they don’t want to believe it’s true, and sometimes that’s why people don’t want to learn anything that they aren’t comfortable with.

My best definition of science is observing gaining knowledge and then sharing knowledge. I find myself observing people and things in their environment. I find it rather interesting at times, and you get learn something from it.

The future is a time or a period of time in which we follow through from the moment of speaking or writing our intentions. It is a time that has yet still to come. The future is what we work for, to go through school and have a career, in order to have a better life. My parents have taught me to work hard for the things I want, and I wish to have a bright future. That is one of the reasons why I am here at CI, to get an education that will help me find a career with sufficient salary that will support me and my future family.

As people, we come with earlier knowledge and understandings on subjects and topics of study, “Science” being one of them. We make presumptions, based on either reasonable evidence or that our thoughts and ideas are known as true by others. Through this we have come to understand and define science as its aims, leaving its definition, whether consciously or unconsciously, unchallenged. We have taken advantage of the label that we have set for science, as well as its goals, and failed to look at them further.

The nature and process of science are a collection of things, ideas, and guidelines. “The purpose of science is to learn about and understand our universe more completely” (Science works in specific ways, 3). Science works with evidence from our world. If it doesn’t come from the natural world, it isn’t science. You need to be creative and have flexible thoughts and ideas if you want to be a scientist. Science always brings up new ideas and theories and if you aren’t flexible to those ideas you can’t be a scientist. Science has been in our world for a long time. It is deep into our history and our cultures. The principals of science; are all about understanding our world using the evidence we collect. If we can’t collect evidence on something we simply cannot understand it. If we don’t understanding something about our world, science says that we can learn about it by collecting evidence (Science has principals, 4). Science is a process; it takes time. You don’t immediately come to a conclusion for your hypothesis a few minutes

Science is an important part of our every day lives. We wake up each morning because we hear the ringing of our alarm clocks and turn on our faucets to wash our faces with warm water. We turn on the lights in our rooms to see our clothes and get dressed and we put our breakfast in the toaster and sip coffee from our mugs. All these things we do in the short time we are rushing to get ready for work or school, are due to the advancement of science and technology.
