“What was the purpose of these first two days of school and what are my plans for this year?"

The purpose of these first two days of school were to meet our new teachers, new students, learn our schedule, etc. Ms. Silva introduced us to what we were going to learn this year in Integrated Science, including Biology, Chemical and Physics. I'm very excited for this school year, I think it's going to be great.

For our first science class, we were put in groups of fours and participated in the "Marshmellow Challenge". We had to use 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard string and one marshmellow and build a very tall structure, with the marshmellow on top. I think that the purpose of this activity was to make us get to know each other, because as the video Ms. Silva showed us at the end of the class said, this activity makes us interact.

On our second day of Science, we saw videos and presentations and mostly talked about people who achieved a lot of things, yet they didn't achieve it suddenly, from night to day. They took a long time to do so and the purpose of this class was to show us that we can't expect to learn something fast, we have to practice and practice and practice until we know it for sure. Everything takes practice and work and if you really like something enough to go after it, you will work night and day until you achieve it just like the people we talked about did.
