My Dad taught me that there are always consequences, either good or bad, to your choices. My sister teaches me patience, and my grandparents inspire me to be myself around people and to work hard. ]]> 2022-09-23 18:15:45 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2310921208 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2310926358 I am very passionate about sports. I play soccer, lacrosse, and volleyball. Some of my favorite hobbies to do in my free time is to read, watch TV shows, and paint/draw. My favorite colors are pink and lilac. Top schools I want to go to are University of Michigan, University of Colorado, or University of North Carolina (UNC), or Boston College. My dream jobs are to be a cardiologist, a neurologist, or just to eventually own my own bakery or cafe. ]]> 2022-09-23 18:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2310926358 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2310934586 Though I do love sports I do care very much about my academic performance. I hope that I can develop a better studying habit. I also wish to create a good sleep schedule, because I tend to loose track of time and go to bed late, and wake up very early. I am very hardworking, and always looking for ways to dig deeper/learn more about topics. In my future years, I can see myself becoming really successful and happy in life. I know that work may be challenging now, but it will be worth it in the long run. ]]> 2022-09-23 18:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2310934586 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2332652019 I believe that this was an easy unit for me. I did struggle on memorizing the scientific method steps, this was due to me mixing up research and hypothesis. I believe the easiest part of this for me was the organization in multicellular life. ]]> 2022-10-09 18:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2332652019 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2332654300 There were much more strengths I had in this unit than weaknesses. The easiest way I had learned this material was by reviewing my notes every night and reading volunteering in class as much as I could. ]]> 2022-10-09 18:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2332654300 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2332661985 2022-10-09 18:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2332661985 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2332662528 2022-10-09 18:20:22 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2332662528 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2332663753 2022-10-09 18:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2332663753 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2332664276 2022-10-09 18:22:54 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2332664276 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2332665527 2022-10-09 18:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2332665527 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2382078907 I had a good background of the structure of an atom, such as what is in the nucleus, and how many electrons are in each of the orbits, etc. I had also been able to understand briefly the biomacro-molecules as well. ]]> 2022-11-14 02:19:17 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2382078907 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2382083232 The information towards the end of the unit had been a struggle for me. The part of this unit that had left me most vulnerable had been the Enzymes and the Substrates. I had tried my best to learn their jobs and as to what they make, but I had misunderstood what they had done. I had only understood Enzymes and Substrates until after we had our unit test. ]]> 2022-11-14 02:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2382083232 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2411347369 I remember most of the material from 7th grade, so I felt pretty confident during this unit. I believe that something that was very easy for me was the difference between prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells. I know that Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, have membrane-bound organelles, and have a more complex structure, for prokaryotic cells do not have any of these. ]]> 2022-12-06 22:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2411347369 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2411351807 I felt that I had a good unit, yet I did have one weakness. Lysosomes. I kept forgetting what they were and their function. It was either that, or I mixed them up with lysosomes. ]]> 2022-12-06 22:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2411351807 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2411359049 2022-12-06 22:40:14 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2411359049 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2457711885 I felt that this unit was very difficult, and the only topic I really understood had been the equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration. No matter who I asked for help, or what videos I had watched, i still did not understand anything. I tried my best to write as many notes down as possible in order to understand, but I felt the information I wrote down made no sense. ]]> 2023-01-26 14:50:27 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2457711885 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2458068564 2023-01-26 18:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2458068564 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2490345916 Ecology was definitely one of the easiest units. During this unit, I believed that the beginning and the middle towards the end of the unit was the easiest. Examples of this would be learning about the trophic levels, predator and prey, and the interactions between different species. I felt that I already knew some of this, and it was very easy to remember. ]]> 2023-02-21 22:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2490345916 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2490347469 On the other hand, the hardest part of this unit, were the cycles. Out of the two, the nitrogen cycle was the most challenging. I felt that we had breezed past it towards the end. Even after this unit, I still cannot understand the nitrogen cycle. The water cycle had been much easier, due to me already remembering this from elementary school.]]> 2023-02-21 22:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2490347469 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2490347755 2023-02-21 22:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2490347755 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2490348834 2023-02-21 22:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2490348834 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582467715 I feel that I overestimated how easy the genetics unit would be. My strengths were determining which genotypes were heterozygus, homozygus recessive, or homozygus dominant. ]]> 2023-05-08 17:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582467715 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582469649 I believe this entire unit had been my weakness. I went into this unit feeling overly-confident, and it turned out to be one of my hardest units. What had really troubled me had been the blood types. I did not understand how to figure out what one family member's blood type was. ]]> 2023-05-08 17:52:26 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582469649 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582473032 I found this unit confusing. My main weakness was protein synthesis. No matter how many notes I wrote down, videos I watched, or flashcards I made I could not figure out any way to simplify the steps. Also, I felt that the genetic mutations were very foreign to me. ]]> 2023-05-08 17:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582473032 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582474864 I felt I did not do well this unit. Even so, my strength was being able to understand Transcription. ]]> 2023-05-08 17:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582474864 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582479325 Personally, I enjoyed this unit the most. Mostly due to the fact that it was pretty easy. My strengths were definitely being able to memorize the entire cell cycle, meiosis, and mitosis. I helped me memorize meiosis by reminding myself that meiosis has the same exact steps as mitosis, expect the second round is when the two daughter cells are dividing. ]]> 2023-05-08 17:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582479325 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582499208 I felt I had no weaknesses in this unit. I felt this was a fun and easy unit that we had learned this year. Therefore, I had no trouble with any assignments. ]]> 2023-05-08 18:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582499208 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582502824 I felt that the Evolution Unit was a very controversial unit. I felt that I understood most of the vocabulary. I also learned a lot about Charles Darwin. I learned that he traveled for 5 years as a naturalist on the HMS Beagle. He gave us the theory of evolution, in which populations change over time by surviving, reproducing, and the passing of traits. ]]> 2023-05-08 18:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582502824 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582505767 I felt that the only struggle I had this unit is the pace, and memorizing the vocabulary. I felt this unit was very, very short. Not only this, but I felt this unit was very quick, which made it difficult for me to keep up with the pace. The vocabulary, on the other hand, was just a little trouble having to memorize a lot of different terms and theories. ]]> 2023-05-08 18:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582505767 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582506585 2023-05-08 18:20:06 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582506585 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582507421 2023-05-08 18:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582507421 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582508571 2023-05-08 18:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582508571 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582509865 2023-05-08 18:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582509865 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582510724 2023-05-08 18:22:54 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582510724 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582511449 2023-05-08 18:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582511449 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582512577 2023-05-08 18:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2582512577 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2618537350 This was my favorite unit from the entirety of the year. I feel that I was most confident in the circulatory system since my mother is a cardiac nurse. I remember learning about the respiratory and digestive system in 7th grade, which also helped me. The human body fascinates me greatly, so I did extra research outside of class which I feel helped me understand each body system more. ]]> 2023-06-08 18:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2618537350 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2618538370 I do not feel I had many weaknesses expect for being overly confident. I came into the unit thinking I knew everything since my mom is a nurse, but I found out that she only taught me the surface of everything. This did not harm me much due to the fact that I love learning about body systems, so I was able to stay ahead. ]]> 2023-06-08 18:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2618538370 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2618538740 2023-06-08 18:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2618538740 26lbuckius1_2 https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2618539000 2023-06-08 18:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/26lbuckius1_2/92qy7cnzso0i50e5/wish/2618539000
