Assignment #6 - Luke Plummer - Chemicals Are Fun

I enjoy to learn when whatever I am learning, whether on my own or in a classroom, is something that truly interests me. I have done several academically and intellectually challenging things. I've done debate, which although interesting, was not something I enjoyed doing. Something, that I truly enjoyed doing was the large project at the end of the year in chemistry. I spent every day looking forward to class. There were multiple reasons why I was so attracted to this final project. The first was the freedom, to have to work independently for weeks to achieve your final goal. It forced me to problem solve and work on my own. I had to be able to work around things that struggled me and run multiple tests in order to figure things out. I really enjoyed working with my hands. The combination of having to think, working independently and working on my own really peaked my enjoyment. Another thing, that does not really fall under a project category but is still something that peaks my academic interest is learning about world history. Learning about past civilizations has always been something that has been very fun for me.
