moment, the event I was attending never even crossed my mind, it was more of a burden in my mind than a fun event that I could get a lot out of. For me, this was the quickest and most impactful perspective shift I have ever had. “Uggggg!” We have a project to do. The science fair, over and over I have participated in the science fair. This is the only part that I don’t like about science in school. The ideas pondered for days, weeks on and on building anxiety in my body. Filling my body with a sense
An Experience That Taught You A Lesson Yes, everyone has their stories and their tales and I have mine. Out of the plenty stories that I have experienced and lives through, my elementary experience was are still is, my most memorable and crucial story of my life.

of spending the summer abroad in Hong Kong through UCLA for my college classes. From the beginning, I knew that my goal of this summer abroad was to understand how to work with a culture very different than my own.
