Progression

Wind in my hair, the sun beating down on my skin, the sound of a hull skimming across the water and crashing through waves on foreign shores are the emotional memories that are deeply ingrained in my persona. I now understand that two of my passions, sailing and traveling, have been instrumental in my decision to pursue a career in psychiatry. Sailing has been a passion of mine since childhood. Growing up in a family of avid sailors, I was exposed to the adventure and exhilaration of racing small

While some people have known exactly the career that they have wanted to go into since childhood, I did not. The only thing that I knew for certain was that I wanted to help people. Whether it was holding lemonade stands to raise money to build schools in Haiti or creating my own not-for-profit business selling baked goods and to buy animals for impoverished communities throughout the world. Over two years, I raised over $5,000. Although I enjoyed this, I still felt that this was not the career

Engineering and Robotics is my career and technical area. Throughout my four years of high school, I have learned about the engineering design process, automated manufacturing, digital electronics, and robotic systems. I plan to further develop the skills I have gained in my career and technical area as I pursue a bachelor of science degree in Computer Engineering. I believe my vocational experience will be invaluable to me as I continue along my career path. Recently, I shadowed a student pursuing

Is Overpopulation a Serious Problem? This question seems to be question that is asked quite frequently lately. In the last two centuries, population has skyrocketed. In 1800 the world population was only at 1 billion, and today it's estimated that the world population exceeds six billion people. With overpopulation, many problems have arisen. Some believe that overpopulation is the reason for world hunger, global population will reach crisis proportions by 2050, and some believe that overpopulation

ESSENTIAL STANDARDS ASSESSMENTS By: Isis Gill-Reid GRAPHING TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS Amplitude, Period, Phase Shift, Horizontal Shift of Sine and Cosine DEFINITION The trigonometric functions are functions of an angle. They relate the angles of a triangle to the lengths of its sides. Trigonometric functions are important in the study of triangles and modeling periodic phenomena, among many other application. Amplitude is half the distance between the minimum and maximum values of the range of

“Humans are pattern seeking animals and we are adept at finding patterns whether they exist or not” (adapted from Michael Shermer). Discuss knowledge questions raised by this idea in two areas of knowledge. My knowledge question is to what extent does cognitive bias influence the patterns we see in life? Cognitive bias is defined as pattern of distortion in perception and a deviation from rational decision; irrationality Decision-making, belief and behavioral

The Contributors of Logarithms The discovery of the logarithm is a great mathematics breakthrough made by John Napier and Joost Burgi. These two mathematicians had different concepts of the logarithms and its present use today. John Napier’s logarithms were published in 1614, while six years later, in 1620, Burgi’s logarithms were published (A REVIEW OF LOGARITHMS 2016). Both Napier and Burgi invented logarithms in order to simplify mathematical calculations. To reach their goals, they used two different

The Earth’s population is growing rapidly leading to a state where human population exceeds the Earth’s carrying capacity. Thomas Robert Malthus was the first economist to start the theory of population and the idea of overpopulation. He wrote his views and explanation about population and its consequences in his essay on “Principles of Population” which was published in 1798. The book explained the relationship between food and population, and their growth patterns. His views on the theory of overpopulation
