Forensics

    One of the classes I am taking this year that I look forward too is forensics. The teacher is Mrs. Sistarneik, but she is out due to the fact that she is having a baby. The current teacher for the mean time is Mrs. Pielech. She will be here until the time Mrs. Sistarneik comes back. I expect to learn many new things throughout the year and am really interested in this subject. I want to learn how to fingerprint, the different aspects of investigating a crime scene, and how to look at different components of a crime scene under a microscope.
    The grading policy in the class is the same as the rest of the school. In the class there is not really a certain project I am interested in. I am interested in the overall class and conducting our own crime scenes. We did a project like this in 8th grade, and I really enjoyed it. Sadly there is no class trip, but it would be awesome to go to like a lab.
    In the class, we were probably be using technology a lot. We use the projector almost every day. We also use the compound light microscope if you consider that technology. I really look forward to learning in this class, and may even pursue a career in this if I do enjoy it.

September 11

September 11th was a very tragic day for everyone in our country. Many people lost their lives and it affected us as a nation. I remember this day even though I was only five years old. I remember my mom coming to get me from school being scared, and her rushing to get me home. I remember getting home and my grandparents were at my house and everyone was surrounding the tv. This day had an effect on everyone, either directly or indirectly. For me, it really did not have a direct impact, but I could only imagine how others felt. Even though I did not lose anyone I knew, I felt the pain for everyone who did. This was a very tragic day, which helped shape our countries many new rules and regulations that we follow today. We will forever remember what happened on September 11 2001, and all those who were lost will forever be in our hearts.
