Approaching the End…

As we approach the end of our two-week summer program, I’d like to recap some of the events that occured. When I came into this program, I felt extremely lost. Especially after the first lecture, my mind started to fly off somewhere else, as I couldn’t grasp concepts of what we were doing or learning. However, as the days progressed and I got to learn the instructors on a more personal level, it seemed as if every day what the instructors were trying to convey became clearer. Additionally, those “Look Around You” films definetely helped me grasp the concept of science! (Especially that film on ghosts). This program truly taught me to never say something is impossible. We were taught, and demonstrated on things that we had never thought of possible. And, it made me realize that in the past, no one would’ve thought an automobile or a televion to be possible. One of the “impossible” things I learned of was the ferrofluids, which thoroughly amazed me. At a more personal level, I feel like I’ve known everyone for years. Everyone constantly runs and visits other people to socialize, or blog together down the hall in a large group. Although it’s been only two weeks, any stranger would say that all of us have known each other for a long time. I find it disappointing how we will all be spread out to different parts of the country after this, but we will definetely keep in touch. This summer experience was amazing.
