First solo flight

Recently, I had my first solo flight in the airplane. It was very nerve wracking when my instructor stepped foot out of the airplane, endorsed me to solo, and hearing his final words to me before he closed the door. "Don't die". These were the words that absolutely NO mother would want to hear, especially mine. So I started the airplane up and taxiied to the runway as carefully as I could because I was so nervous for this moment. I went through my last checklist and was airborne in no time. Flying alone for the first time surprsingly was not much different than having an instructor in the cockpit next to you. I was feeling a lot better once I successfully completed my first out three landings soon after. This experience was surreal. Having an airplane under my complete control is something so cool that is just something special to remember forever.

Dear Dr. Kyburz, I just want to thank you for a fantastic year both first semester and second semester. This class has made me thoroughly enjoy writing so much more than I ever have. You have introduced many different new techniques of finding research, summarizing articles and documentaries, using narrative glue, and especially rhetorically analyzing. With using the concept of writing early and revising often helped me earn the grade I desired. I look forward to using the skills that I have developed the past two semesters for my future classes and later in life. Thank you Dr. Kyburz for everything!! This is my presentation video that depicts how progress has affected me throughout the year. I posted this with my e-Portfolio because I was not sure if I would get the opportunity to present this to my classmates.  This image signifies process . Throughout the last two semesters I feel like I have made lots of progess with the projects I created. The project's goa

Documentary Reflection Questions

1)    One scene that got to me was when Tom Seeberg, the father of Lizzy Seeberg, shared the terrible news of how she took her own life. Lizzie was assaulted and raped by a football player at Notre Dame. She filed a complaint report to the University the next morning, but they never attempted to locate him for questioning. The school claimed they simply “could not locate the individual. Only to know that he was a starting football player for the team, so they knew exactly where he was. Tom explains how no one from the University attempted to help her or investigate her case, which inadvertently led to her suicide. This boils my blood. I was in awe watching this scene. I felt anger and sever empathy for Tom. Watching how political and corrupt college campuses are for protecting student athletes because of money over students’ lives is just extremely unacceptable. If this were to occur in the Middle Ages, perpetrators would be hung in the middle of a town for everyone to see. 2)

Three years left

Is this it? This year has absolutely flown past. The amount of experiences that I have experienced this year is enormous. It is extremely hard to believe that I will be able to go through this extraordinary year three more times. Until me, my friends are dumped out into the real world. It can be vey scary. At least when I deeply think about how soon graduation will be coming. However, I have learned so much this year. It feels like that I have learned more things this year, than my whole career in high school. Of course I began studying something I am so passionate about which is the main reason, but there's something unique that I love about college that points my excitement for what's next to come.
