The Importance of Imagination & Preservation

Often times I meet children from my generation (90's) who have very low self esteem. Peers who have aspirations to do great things, and want to contribute massively to society. The biggest thing going on now is the journey to college. What classes you should take, grades you need to get,etc. It is so funny how the merit of academia has become more important than the knowledge one actually gains. I am not implying that grades aren't important, but children have been so consumed by achievements that education is truly undervalued. I'd rather walk out of a classroom knowing I can use my new knowledge to adjust my life in a positive way rather than receiving a %100 on a test I studied 4 hours to take. I know that before my physical body passes on, I would like to help humanity colonize other celestial bodies in our solar system/galaxy. Whether I create models of human distribution or discover efficient ways to terraform Mars. Many adults look at this as a "big dream." "It's going to be hard,etc." I like that most comments I receive are negative with the attempt of being positive. For instance, I know that I would like to go to Cornell University. Not only because of the schools motto, but also because Carl Sagan taught there. I want to leave a legacy of great scientific discovery and foundation continuing the footsteps of true excellence in a human being's cognitive function. I understand that requires great work ethic, excellent academic performance in high-school, but the most important things are that I really want to do what I love, and that I am in a positive state while doing it. Nevertheless work efficiently, be creative, and stay positive.

Life in The Universe-Mars Future: Good or Bad?

Isaac Asimov: New Inspiration

Last week I was watching an old episode of Space Rip on Youtube. I think it was something about energy production on earth or the energy produced in Volcanic eruptions. The narrator used Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" series as an example and the fictional empire Galaxia. I was really sparked so I quickly searched Asimov's name up and found out all about him.  Not only did he have a great view on humanity , he had a great view on science in society. I have yet had the pleasure to start reading his books, but they seem to be wonderful works of art. Like Asimov I would like to make science just as fun, exciting, and realistic as possible for all the people of the world.

No Summer Slump

This summer has been just fine so far. I have to admit I was a bit worried the last day of school. I kept hoping I wouldn't waste summer as I have done in the past. After six years I finally received a Xbox 360. I was so happy when I opened it & now it is more of a nice thing to have rather then something I deserve. Freshmen & Sophomore year were okay for me. I think that I was a bit more rebellious both years, and I constantly talked about how I just wanted to get into college. My parents moving my education to Science Leadership Academy of Phila. was the best thing that ever happened to me. Not only did this move put me in an environment where I have multiple resources, but it also prepared me for what I want to pursue. I have to thank my Algebra 2 teacher Mr. Reddy. He is a great teacher in mathematics. He makes concepts so clear to grasp and understand. I started to learn the Greek alphabet today & its relationships with Science and Mathematics. I memorized a couple of trigonometric functions, and I think I'm going to start to learn Arabic soon.
