energy viable for personal use. In addition, the rotors for the turbine is largely associated
with the rotor from my Egg Rotor Drop. This is right up my alley. Looking at both of
these build events, I cannot wait to use my past knowledge and apply them to another
competitive setting.
Since I am already in AP Chemistry, "Chem Lab" seems quite appropriate. This year's
topics, Kinetics and Gas Laws is basic review from the experiments that I have already
oversaw within the class (speaking of which, I have a Chem midterm tomorrow, yikes!).
However, reading upon a few of the past tests, I came across unfamiliar questions. Now
this is something that I have an interest in. "Chem Lab" will without a doubt give me an
unprecedented chemistry challenge that I am willing to accept. For the second lab event, I
would love to try "Experimental Design." By having freedom in how to conduct the
experiment, I am sure that I will be able to think outside the box, adding a unique take
and a unique standpoint from the other competitors. Also, writing lab reports are not
uncommon for me as I am taking AP Biology and AP Chemistry. I think that I am a good
fit for these types of lab events.
There is no escaping it. Last year, I was the worst member in Science Team. I was
overrun by the events and failed to complete them. I have no one to blame except myself.
Since then, I am haunted by my mistake, my failure, and my defeat. Regardless if it
comes from my own paranoia, I still see everyone from Science Team looking down upon
me. Even my brother, Science Teams founder, appears to be a lot more distant towards
me. But most of all, I hate my own guts. I became someone who gave up on the events,
the team, my own passion, and ultimately myself. For me, it would be no understatement
to say that it is the worst thing to happen to my high school career. YetI desperately
want to change this. I do not care if I am picked last in Team C. I do not care if the
members of Science Team still hate me. Here, I am going to stand up against my own
selfishness. Regardless of the situation, I still want to join Science Team. Discovering and
researching about science-related topics brings me happiness and now truly, I say to you
from the bottom of my heart, I ask for a chance to redeem myself. I promise you, and all
of Science Team, that I will put my best efforts on the line. Thank you.
