A little over a month ago, I was surrounded with a group of welcoming, understanding, interesting people. Today, the HOL-ers are keeping in touch with one another through our own facebook group. I can not wait to be reunited with everyone at AGU. Speaking of AGU, Alondra, Mayra, and I carried out some research and discovered that not all mass extinction affects organisms size. We felt accomplished that after eight weeks of data collecting, we were able to come up with a conclusion where it relates to Bergman’s rule.
The experiences I gained over the summer helped me in this 2014 school year. As a senior, I am taking AP Statistics, and we are collecting and using a lot of data. My AP Statistics teacher was surprised that I knew what a box plot describes and also excited to know I knew about “p” where the smaller the “p-value” is the exact the result are. Also as a senior, I am taking AP Human Geography, and the first thing we learned about were maps. Not only was I able to explain in detailed what different types of maps are, I was the fastest person to interpret a map’s data. Also, in my AP Human Geography class, my teacher talked about GIS, and I exclaimed that I used the program before, needless to say she was impressed.
I am so glad I had the opportunity to intern with so many amazing people and gain countless of relevant skills in the process. Thank you so much.
