    1. I guess teaching was just something I felt I was supposed to do. I love math, but I did not want to major in math in college because that sounded boring. So, I majored in Chemistry with a minor in math and physics. I love the math part of physics and the fact that you can have fun while learning physics! Toys are full of physics, who knew?

  3. My goal for this year is to master AP Physics well enough to score a 5 on the AP exam. Currently, I am a member of the chess club, and plan to join SNHS. I swim and play both soccer and basketball outside of school. Also, I occasionally do volunteer work on the weekends. I am currently unemployed. I would like to know about your college experience during your freshman year.

    1. I hope you get a 5 on the test too! (It will make me look good, :) ). I went to a community college my freshman year and it seemed like another year of high school. I wish I would have spent at least one year living in a dorm. I never lived on campus once I transferred to Grand Valley State University and I kind of regret that.

  4. Some of my goals this year are to pass my AP exams, be academically successful and get through the college process. I am apart of the school's band, NHS, and SNHS as of now. Outside of school and band, I enjoy working on volunteer hours, hanging out with my family and friends, and simply having some time to myself. If anything, I would like to know how you were able to come upon choosing a college to attend and major/career to aspire to.

    1. I love math, but didn't want to major in math. Chemistry had a lot of math in it, so I went with that. I wanted to go to Stamford or George Washington University (I love Washington D.C.), but I ended up at a school close to home. As I got older, I found out most employers don't care what college you went to, just that you went, had good grades and received a degree.

  14. My goals for this year are to simply further my understanding in physics and calculus. By performing well on my AP exams I'll be able to demonstrate my accomplishment in these goals. I'm in a couple of groups/organizations such as NHS, SNHS, NTHS, chess club, BPA and book club. I had a job during the summer but had quit due to school's return. I keep myself occupied with a a bunch of things that interest me like science and trivial things like music, films, and novels. To end this first blog I would like to ask, what influence made you become a physics teacher?

  15. My goals this year would be to keep my grades pretty high and also to audition and hopefully get accepted into the music branch of a couple of schools. Hopefully I might get in to Miami, Berklee, or UNT cause they really have some killer groups there. Well outside of school I like to just practice and if it may come up go on gigs when I can. Well do you know how to play any instrument?
