Thus, when the opportunity to participate in STEM connect came, I joined. And I was able to meet people who I actually enjoyed spending time with throughout STEM Connect.]]> 2022-01-28 01:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ralphcayanan1/css3cerfd9uq3oqi/wish/2017067257 ralphcayanan1 https://padlet.com/ralphcayanan1/css3cerfd9uq3oqi/wish/2017067394 Although I was confident in my mathematical and scientific ability prior to senior high, the higher standard really caught me off guard and it became more challenging. But, so far, no subject has been more challenging for me than General Physics 1.

However, Omicron came and the number of new cases astronomically inflated and quickly diminished the growing hope of going back to normal. In addition to this, in early January, many of our family experienced symptoms tied to Omicron. This gave all of us a scare and we were all stressed, luckily the people that experienced symptoms quarantined immediately and were tested negative anyway.]]> 2022-01-28 01:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ralphcayanan1/css3cerfd9uq3oqi/wish/2017067546 ralphcayanan1 https://padlet.com/ralphcayanan1/css3cerfd9uq3oqi/wish/2017067639 Since the pandemic, 2 years passed wherein our family was unable to have a family outing.
