     whenever I come across a situation that tenEs to baffle me about a heavy subject, i tend to wonder whos fault it is. Although I may not always be the one to blame, its only human nature to feel some subconsciencousness about the situaion. Overall i believe that whomever initiates the problem, weather innocent ir not, they're responsible for what happened. I see no justice in falling for such a blame that i may  be innocent of, when i am just a bystandard. The only way that I would take partial responsibility is if i were to help someone do something wrong.

Projects Projects Projects..

There was once a project I spent a great deal of time and effort on. It was a physical science project. We were assigned the task of creating the Bohr model of the atom for a specific atom we drew from a "hat". I got the element Rubidium which was not that hard because it was lower considering the people who got 99 and such. As soon as my teacher announced we had the project and were to make it about us, I already knew what it was that I was going to do. I was going to make the protons and electrons out of M&M's that were painted with two different-color nail polishes, the electrons were going to be made out of Nerds candy and the electron's shells were going to be made out of foil and wire hanger. As soon as I started the project I realized it was going to be a lot harder than I first thought. I faced problems such as the super glue was not strong enough to hold things together, and the electrons and neutrons kept getting lost, and I ran out of foil 3 times. Then after I got everything as good as I was going to get it, the stand kept kept breaking. That happened two me twice. Once at home and once on presentation day. After I fixed it I ended up getting an A. If I had to do that all over again I would choose a different, more simple way because it was not worth the labor or the times spent; 5 weeks.

A Journey Into the Unknown

Through out the years people have continuously explored the unknown. These people include Thomas Edison in his invention of the light bulb , The Wright Brothers in their invention of the classic "Flying Machine", slaves as they traveled from all the knew; slavery, to the North to find freedom and so many others. I feel people devote their lives to this and the discovery of the unknown because they are either simply curious, they would, like to know why things work the way they do, or they are looking for something better than they have. These discoveries often lead to sacrifice. Some of these sacrifices could include loneliness because either the person has a family and they have to be left behind for the succession of their dreams, or the person never had a family or a companion and they have to continue life this way because they are too busy to do otherwise. Other sacrifices include time and frustration. Just like with Edison and his light bulb ,discoveries take time and many failures. Edison failed more than 1,00 times and i personally know that when failure is evident so is frustration. Quite a few things contribute to the study and discovery of the unknown and without these hardships we would not have the amenities we do today and i am grateful for that.
