    This website is amazing! It really helped me see all the reasons in detail of why to become a pharmacist. Although I already had my own ideas and understanding of the job, this added greatly to it and I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone who's thinking of becoming a pharmacist or any version of the job.

5 Reasons Why Peru is a Country With Much to Envy - 0 views

  •  
    This article is a personal story about the author's trip to Peru. It especially focuses on the deeper culture that most tourists may not notice, but this author especially sought out. It traces her journey from Lima, to Cusco, to Machu Picchu. I chose to read this article because I am applying to study abroad in Peru next year, and I wanted to know more about the culture. I liked this source because it gave a varied view of many components of Peruvian culture from food, to architecture, to what the people were like. It is definitely biased, however. The author seems to be in love with Peru and doesn't get into the challenges of immersing herself in the culture. I think I should read a few more reviews before hopping on the plane, but this article was definitely a good starting point. This source helped my learning by giving me a broad overview that I can now choose specific details from to research more thoroughly. Reading this article made me more eager to study abroad and did a great job "selling" the culture of Peru. However, it was written more from a traveler's perspective and didn't really show me what it would be like to live in Peru for an extended period of time.

Math Formulas - 0 views

  •  
    I recently found a website that is a perfect source to find geometry formulas. It was very useful when I forgot a page of notes with many formulas I needed. This website is very straight forward and has great visuals that helped me understand the math concept. It is very reliable seeing as my answers matched up with the ones on the key, and for that reason I would definitely recommend it. All of the formulas are on the same page, making it very helpful and efficient to do my review worksheets.

Chemistry - HowStuffWorks - 0 views

  •  
    The purpose of this website is to learn and explore the science behind how "everyday objects" work. This website is also great because you can explore the different parts of the website to find a topic that interests you. It is such an engaging site for that reason because even though you are able to read about a topic that interests you, at the same time you are learning about the science behind your interest!

25 Tips for Fundraising - 0 views

  •  
    This website included 25 tips on how to run a successful fundraiser in a school. Considering the Music Department hosts many fundraisers each year I decided that these tips could help me to evaluate what we are doing right and what changes we could make to become more successful. One idea I appreciated was to avoid doing the "small" fundraisers. While I had thought that any amount of money would be helpful, this site pointed out that parents and students begin to suffer from "fundraising fatigue" when they are asked to participate in multiple events. Also, although we have the same fundraisers every year, we are very bad about letting parents know at the beginning of the year the different fundraisers we will need help with. This website suggests to let parents and students know as soon as possible what the group will need their participation in. I thought this was a helpful website in because they presented their information in an eye-catching and a simply put way. Also, they would give a bullet point of helpful information, and then divulge further to explain their reasoning.

  •  
    This website discusses the positive things that come from using a Gantt Chart. It uses bulleted points to talk about several attributes that Gantt Charts have. It mentions that because of the clearly written out style of the Gantt Chart, it is nearly impossible to be confused about deadlines or responsibility. This website was very helpful in discovering the ways a Gantt Chart could be helpful to me in the Music Department.

Taliban - 0 views

  •  
    This article is about how the Taliban is, once again, attacking government buildings in Afghanistan like they do every spring when the weather warms up in the mountains. The reason they do this every spring is to try and regain control of the government of Afghanistan. It is my understanding that their motive is to control the global opium market and ultimate wealth. I believe this is reliable information because it is on the CNN website and they have a good reputation for accurate news. I have learned that the Taliban is very persistent and violent. I can't imagine living in a country where a violent terrorist group is trying to overthrow the government every spring. I feel that must be an unsafe place to live, work, and try and raise a family, and am glad I live in the U.S.

Dr. Donald Griswold - 0 views

    Mr. Griswold was a teacher I had last year in Physics 2. He agreed to be interviewed for my project on creation. He was interesting to interview because he was raised in a strict Baptist home, but has since then become a Physicist and teacher and has studied neurology. He gave me a ton of information about the brain, and how the human intercepts data and reasons about the past. All of the most important aspects of his conversation are featured on my podcast.

Hoof trimming Dairy cows - 0 views

    This site talks about how dairy cows become "lame" The reason why a cow becomes lame is usually because of the cows hoof being comprised or unbalanced. I would recommend this site to someone who wants to become a hoof trimmer.
