    to lower the freezing point of the water. This happens because the salt dissolves in the water and the moving water molecules begin to “melt” the ice. Since there are molecules of solute in the way, the formation of the ice crystals begins to become more difficult and happen less frequently. (Senese). The same process happens when salt is added to the ice to freeze the ice cream mixture. When creating the ice cream, this same process happens. The salt lowers the freezing point

    During spring break this year, my friend David Fong invited me to go with him to Six Flags in New Jersey. Because I never have been to Six Flags, my parents agreed to let me go with David. I was very excited to go on this trip! David’s sisters and his brother all went to the aquarium, so we decided to go the same time they were going the aquarium. David’s dad volunteered to drive David and me to the amusement park. We started out very early in the morning and arrived there just as the park was opening

    “I hate you,” she said softly into her microphone. At first I wasn’t sure if she meant for me to hear that but before I could stop myself I heard my own voice. “I know.” Honestly, I hated her too and I didn’t know what I was thinking when I decided to come with her. I guess I just thought she needed protection. That’s a brother’s job right? To protect his little sister. I don’t know how else to explain it. We were to be the first civilians in space and although she hated that I had insisted on coming

    The score was sixty-six to sixty-seven, West Point beating Oak Hill with two seconds left in the game. I snatched the ball from the guard with the time ticking down. The clock ticked to .5 seconds left. I unloaded the ball from half court. The ball sailed in mid air spiraling around with tons of backspin.  My shot was a miracle on hardwood!  It splashed like a soft rain drop trickling on concrete.  My team went bananas, jumping around as if they were fish looking for water.  It took me awhile to

    The most memorable time I felt a deep connection with nature occurred during a field trip last April. The days were becoming warmer, mid-winter rainstorms were fading away, and spring flowers were just beginning their stage of life, tightly bound blossoms growing erratically through soft grasses. Several months of planning had gone into this event, with extensive applications, volunteer work, checking supplies off a list till every item was packed. It was time to journey into Yosemite National Park

    Introduction My goal, over the past four weeks, focused on increasing my overall timeliness in regard to being on-time to important daily events.

Throughout the beginning of the fall semester, each class I traveled to, I arrived tardy. Deciding to modify this behavior challenged me to have consistency especially with the implementation of daily reinforcers. Reviewing the correlational
