 Now that the quarter is over, i feel as if i deserved a better overall grade in math and biology. Especially in Biology because i work hard and actually put in effort in that class. Also for like the past month i haven't had my edmodo password, i told him several times out that month to reset my password but he didn't have the time to. Over the past nine weeks of school iv'e learned allot of things. Also iv'e learned allot of good and bad things about myself such as i have the potential to do the work i just don't try as hard as i should. i've also learned that i work better by myself. I'm going to use my knowledge to do the work because i know i can. This past quarter i should of just did the work, it's simple and easy i just chose not to do it. Honestly my teachers have done a great job, i wouldn't change anything. Next semester i see myself improving.

Robotics Blog:

 We are building a really small but smart robot. Hopefully we can build a bigger robot by the end of the year. But for now we building a smaller robot. Some of the steps we took into building this robot is, using different tools, Such as allen key's, different screws, all types of different parts.

 So far i like the experience because it's different, It's hands on learning instead of sitting in class doing work. He gives a binder with different names/pictures of what we are supposed to have. It's our job to go through the booklet to see if we have all the supplies we need. We have to make sure we have all the right tools/supplies. After that we began building. When me and my partner Danielle first began building it was a complicated experience because we both had absolutely no idea of what we were doing.

Honestly i would like to work alone because when i work alone i get way more done. Also i get the work done way faster. To me robotics is VERY important because for 1 it's a really big part of our grade. Also it teaches us how to use different tools. Honestly i can't see myself doing robotics in the future.

How do you like this experience so far? 

I like this experience so far because it really puts your mind to work. It also helps us to learn how to work as a team and get along with others. I like the hands on learning experience, not only does it teaches us how to get along with others, It also teaches us how to be independent and do things on our own. 


What are some of the thing you don't like so far?

Some of the experiences that i don't like so far is that i started off in Mr. O'hara's group. He explained that he picked us to be in his group because we are "misunderstood" i don't find myself to be misunderstood but i would call it "different". Our group couldn't come to a understanding with one another so they split us in to different groups. 


What could make the experience more interesting to you?

What could of made the experience more interesting to me is if our team would come to an understanding. As the group struggled to come to an understanding we did finally come to one. Even though our design wasn't picked to be used as the main topic we still very happy to build this.

    I am very exited to attend the IngenuityFest because it will be a new experience for me to discover new things with hands-on learning. It is really testing our skills at a young age, making us independent and ready for the real world out there. It also it helps us to find out who we really are and discover our true talents.

   It might be challenging to find the right designs to come up, with and we might have difficulties to put them together. But with the help of my team we can get it done without any complications or concerns.
