Coming into the program I really didn't expect me to meet a lot of interesting people, I thought is was a job that me and my friends could work at and get paid together. As the days passed as a 1st year yes teen I started getting comfortable with new people around me and became more involved with all the activities they had planned for me.

My second year I seen myself more excited to work with the people I met my 1st year and the new teens that was coming that summer. I knew I learned a lot my 1st year and I might be able to teach the new teens what I've learned.

My third year in the program I was moved to another group where I had to meet another group of new teens. I felt that it was nothing really to worry about cause I was the older teen and I knew more about the the program than the new teens. I felt that it was meant for me to be moved into another group so I can share my intelligence with the teens.

 The last year for me has came to an end as a yes teen and I feel that I have learned so much in this program that I can take that with me any where I go and teach that knowledge to younger kids. The program really helped me become from a shy teen to a teen that feels like he can go up to anybody and start a conversation with that person. Deep down inside I will miss all the supervisors that helped me become a better person and helped me with good advice about be a mature adult. I will never forget what I  was taught and never forget the people that taught me.  

I think today at Adams was good when we started the investigation and bad when we were in the middle. When we started all the kids were paying attention and looking at the optical illusion and they liked when we went outside to trace their partner. When we went back up to the room to do the next investigation with the flashlights, the kids that was with me was playing around a little bit and two of the boys tried to wrestle each other. So far I think the day went good.

Yesterday at headstart we played in sand and we measured how much sand it would take to get the sand thick enough to make a sand castle. The the kids found out that it takes 3 dixie cups to make up 1 cup. The amount of water it takes to get the sand thick was 7 cups of water. The kids was really ready to make a sand castle because last week we didn't have enough time to make one. I think that the kids really like us coming to their school because we have a lot of nice activities for them to do and they like us because we are a good role model towards them.

Hello this is Silvester and Im going to tell you what happened today. We went up to Adams to teach the kids about Optics, which is how the eye takes in light. I think my kid Annmarie was really interested about the investigation because she was working up and coming up with great ideas. I feel that she already knew about some of our activities because she would tell me how it works. I think she would look forward  for our next investigation next week. 

My 2nd day back in the program and everything has been going great. I really miss being here because I miss all the wonderful people that is up here. I really wanted not to miss all them days but I was too lazy to come. After the fist week of April I made a change and decided to keep coming and not miss out on anything important anymore and the Science Center.

My experience at flight school was very hard for me because I was really scared about being on a plane.I was really scared cause I've never been in the air before and Im a ground person. I told myself I would never be in a plane and nobody would get me to do it, but it looked like somebody got me in a plane.The day cam e for us to fly a plane and I was nervous.Whaen we got there they came in to talk to us about where we were going and that a professional pilot would be in there guiding us with directions,and when they said that I felt better.When we were ready to fly the plane and it was my turn I still nervous a little bit cause it was my first time in the air.The lift off came and it wasn't bad because I can see over everything and it was beautiful.We were heading towards Washington airport for a land and head back towrds Spirit.My time came to fly the plane I did not want to do it cause I didn't like the air.I took a deep breath and I was ready for take off.
