an alumni, I look back and get all these messages about the events, like Zinck 's Night and all that. I didn 't participate in any of that, the traditional Cornell events. [Instead] we had the Black Gospel festival... Honestly I think if my group of friends and community didn 't seem very involved, weren 't very involved in events like Cornell 's Homecoming and Zinck 's and all that, I didn 't seem very interested in it. Even knowing the history I just wasn 't very

that I can skip class everyday and still pass with an A average. Despite all the things I didn’t get taught in high school, I did learn some unique aspects that I can reflect on and use for college. The skills I reflect on are annotating, using the Cornell note-taking system, and how to be on time for school. To begin with, the first aspect I reflect on from high school is annotating.

Richard Feynman What would you say if you could be a person that changed the way we understand the world around us with new understandings of quantum mechanics? A person that became more than just a renowned physicist and teacher, but became an icon. Well that person was Richard Feynman. During his lifetime, he became one of the most well-known scientist in the world.
