Before I fully understood what a pediatrician did, I told myself and everyone else, that I would become one when I grow up. While my specifical vocational interests may have changed, my passion for natural science has not. At the end of tenth grade, my biology teacher signed my yearbook and wrote in it “never stop asking questions.” Through the years, I have done well in all of my science classes; however, more importantly, I have sought ways to further my exposure to the natural sciences outside

I will prepare over summer break, with a tutor if necessary, to get caught up with the Honors Pre-Calculus class and make sure that I am ready

In the realms of natural sciences, the best, most coherent explanations are created using reason. Reason requires proof from experimentation. Sound conclusions generate knowledge through explanation of events. These explanations are used as the basis for our understanding of the world around us. Simple explanations are best as unnecessary assumptions and data that might cloud or deflect from the central issue are excluded. As scientist Ernst Mach once said: “Scientists must use the simplest means

Infinity The first Chapter of “To Infinity and Beyond” by Kent A. Bessey discusses the concept of infinity and how it went from a concept to a noun.

If the Universe is truly infinite then there is no
