It surprised me that half of my last year in high school was already ending. As I look back on what I've done in this class I want to deeply appreciate Dr. Bill for supporting me do what I'm interested in and giving me ideas for very cool projects. Starting from seismograph sensors and calculating hypocenters and epicenters of waves on Hawaii island, this class has inspired me to many things that not only were my projects. If I could do something different or better for the earthquake wave research, I would find seismographs with more accurate GPS and also do my calculations more accurately by using digital maps instead of handwritten maps. I will continue working on placing sound tiles in the hallway and experimenting with them because my capstone is related to noise levels in the dorm. 

It was a lot of fun to have 3rd-grade kids with us too.

If I were taking ISR another semester, I want to do things about aerodynamics(which I was going to do initially this semester). 

Outside of class, I started watching videos about space physics and astronomy, which I would've not ever been interested in watching just for myself. Science has become very fun by taking this class and inquiring what I was interested in. Thank you so much, Dr. Bill.
