Barack Obama :)

Dear Physics Journal,

So this weekend I got a new macbook! :) Yay, how excitinggggggg! Oh, not to mention our soccer game was on TV!!!! We lost, but at least the season is over so I have lots of free time! 

So America is up for another big chance, Hawaii's own Barack Obama! :) First off, I thought it was super cool how he became the first African American president. It's pretty incredible to think that not even one hundred years ago, African Americans were still enslaved. It shows how much our country has changed, even though there are still cases of prejudice. Well, as everyone knows, Obama has proven to be a much better speaker than our last president. (HAHAHAHA), not but really. His speech has inspired many throughout the country that America will face changes, and for the better. He supplies hope for those less fortunate, and even promises peace around the world. 

We can never take anyone's word for granted, even if he is the President. We, as citizens, can only wish him the best of luck, in hopes that he will keep his word. All the power to him! Congrats, Obama! Let's make some changes, for the better :)

Elizabeth Ignacio

On Thursday we were honored enough to listen to Dr. Ignacio speak with us. She is an accomplished woman who has broken the barriers for many other women in the medical field. She covered with the students the experience and qualifications needed in order to become a doctor, and stressed that you should only pursue the medical field if you have a passion for it, not money. I thought it was very interesting when she informed us of the training you need to go through during your "slave work" period (80 hours a week, for minimal pay. She also did not fail to include some PHYSICS in her speech, just for you Doc! She went over a lesson we just discussed: LEVERARMS! :) Anyways, in conclusion, she convinced me that maybe the medical field is not for me, even if I thought about pursuing it before. So listening to her speech was very beneficial, and I was greatly inspired by her words.
