Personal Narrative: AP Physics

Every time I walked into AP Physics, I distinctly remember my hand shaking. My jaw tensing. My brow furrowing. The scent of sweat permeated the air and a thick, dark, cloud of confusion reigned over me. It wasn’t as if I didn’t enjoy the subject; the sciences have always nestled themselves deep into my heart. But not AP Physics. No. In a time of what should have housed my academic highlight reel, I was floundering; lost in a sea of equations, forces, and xₒ. I’m not going to bore you with all of…

Energy Notes for Pre-AP Physics I Essay

Conductor: In a conductor (usually metal) many of the electrons are free to move around within the conductor. "sea of electrons": movement of the electrons looks like a flowing sea. a charged object will always be attracted by a conductor. Positively charged object near conductor = attraction Negatively charged object near conductor = electrons repel Protons are fixed in place because they make up the mass of the conductor When no charged object is near the conductor, the electrons evenly…

courses stood out in a particularly dull fashion. To this day my most beloved class is Physics. In fact after taking my first AP Physics course during my junior year, I further indulged myself with Physics during my senior year in AP Physics C. Physics has transcended me to take a more observant approach to a multitude of circumstances. The analytical tools that I have been fortunate enough to receive from my brief Physics career- seeking out facts and deciphering what they conclude- have allowed me to…

Prejudice And Racism

I am not equal to a boy who has the same grades. I am not equal to a boy who is in the same class, reading the same exact textbook as I am. I am not equal to a boy who is struggling in the same subject. I am not equal to a boy because nobody expects me to achieve as much as a boy can without working harder. I am not equal to a boy because there is still sexism in the classroom. Boys make up 86% of engineering jobs on the globe, because boys do not grow up in a world that discourages focus on harder…
