3 Questions Blog # 11

What tasks have you completed recently ?

Recently I have completed Chapter 6 in Calculus. Maaaan, let me tell you.. it was really really hard. This chapter had 6 different sections in it. It seemed that every section got harder and harder. Just as soon as I thought that it was getting better it wasn't. In Anatomy we are almost done with the Endocrine System, this was also a tough chapter, but very interesting. Even though Anatomy has been kicking my butt.. I still LOVE this class. There is never a dull moment, every other day I go to this class I learn something new.

What have you learned recently ?

I have recently learned a lot about math. When I was in lower math classes I used to walk into my class and see what to me seemed like nothing but gibberish on the board with fancy looking S's and backward Z's. Well I have grown up now and I am in Calculus and I learned about those "fancy S's and the backward Z's". All of chapter 6 explains what they are, they are called integrals. I kind of think they are fun, but then again the problems are very tedious.

What are you planning on doing next ?

I am planning on keeping up with Chapter 7 now. My teacher kind of hinted to us that it was going to be a tough chapter. Sooo in my head I'm thinking.. Oh god, here we go again. Math isn't my favorite subject, but I sure can't escape from it.

Literacy Blog: Book Update

So, is it everything you hoped it would be ? What new things have you discovered that you didn't know ? What historical/cultural impact did/does science seem to be having on the people/places you are reading about?

Yes, this book is so good like how everyone told me it would be. I'm still at the beginning of the book where he is talking about his childhood and what it was like to live in Detroit. Throughout his first few chapters he talks about how hard his life would get and how he would turn it around and make the best out of it. He wasn't the wealthiest but wasn't the poorest either. For a period of time him and his brother Curtis moved with their auntie and uncle because their mother had gotten really sick and had to go to a doctor. Ben made a promise to himself that he was going to strive to do his best and be the best at everything he did. With that mind set he achieved many good things in his childhood life. Right now I am currently on chapter 8 and he is making college choices.
