Day 2: 4/16/20
¡Hola!
I hope you are all doing just as radical and amazing as yesterday! This is Day 2 and uh yeah :D I'm doing amazing. I slept really late yesterday whoops so I'm really tired so I apologize if this post is a little short. I'll make sure to make up for it soon.
Today was another boring day... I really hope this whole situation dies down soon so I can go outside again and see all my friends! I can't even see my favorite seniors before they go onto college which is a big bummer but I guess that's just life :P There's not much to say here so let's talk about one of my favorite topics: biology!
I have been fascinated by the world of science and biology ever since I was a wee kid haha. I remember I had this humongous science experiment set where I could do a LOT of different and cool experiments! It was definitely amazing. I remember loving the science experiments our teachers made us do in front of the class in elementary school, even though everyone else hated them. I just love science because it changes every single day as something new is discovered every single day. The world around us is so phenomenal and I love learning about it!
I'm currently looking for a lab internship but because of the circumstances, all the labs are pretty much closed so I'm waiting for them to open back up. It would be amazing if I got a chance to work at a lab because I could actually see scientists do their thing up close! It would definitely be a turning point for me.
I am part of my school's HOSA chapter and honestly, HOSA is such a big part of my life. I love every part of it: the friends, the educators, and most importantly, the learning! I competed in Forensic Science this year but I couldn't make it to the National level. However, it wasn't a big deal to me because I had a TON of fun at the HOSA State Leadership Conference a few weeks ago. Forensic science is honestly such a gross, yet exciting field of medicine. There are so many cool and interesting things about the human body that make investigating cases so fascinating and captivating.
Enough of that science crummy crap now! How was your day today? I bet it was phenomenal! If it wasn't, I'm sorry to hear that :( I'm sure your life will get better very soon because honestly, life gets better every single day in some way shape or form. I remember a pretty dark time in my life and I remember how sad and lonely I felt, but I remembered to always remind myself that I am not alone and that I have so many people that love and care for me! I want you all to remind yourself that every day because each and every one of you deserves all the love in the world. Even though you may not think we all love you, we do! We are here for you, even in your darkest points. So lift your chin up and think positive :D
Here's the answer to the math problem yesterday!
Question: Marie asks her mom to cook some dumplings for lunch since she's really hungry. As her mom is preparing lunch, she realizes she forgot to ask Marie how many dumplings she wanted today and her mom can't disturb Marie at the moment since she's taking an online exam for her class. Her mom knows Marie always wants either five or six dumplings. However, her mom and her sister also want some dumplings to eat and each wants to have at least four dumplings to eat. Is there a minimum amount of dumplings Marie's mom can cook in order to feed Marie five OR six dumplings and still have enough dumplings to evenly feed at least four dumplings to herself and Marie's sister?
Answer: Let n represent the number of dumplings Marie's mom makes. Let x represent the number of dumplings Marie will eat. So, n - x represents the number of dumplings left after Marie eats her portion. (n - x)/2 represents the number of dumplings Marie's mom and sister will each get after Marie eats her portion. Now, because each member wants at least four dumplings to eat, we can write the expression: (n - x)/2 ≥ 4. If we solve for n - x, we get n - x ≥ 8. We have the condition that x = 5, 6 so we can create two different expressions. n - 5 ≥ 8 and n - 6 ≥ 8. We then get n ≥ 13 and n ≥ 14. We can get rid of the first expression because n has to be at least 14, anyway. Now we have to find a number n where if we subtract 5 or 6, we get an even number. However, you will quickly realize that no number fits this condition. Therefore, there is no minimum amount of dumplings Marie's mom can cook to fit the conditions of the problem.
Here are my favorites of the day!
Favorite Songs: Beautiful (feat. Camila Cabello) - Bazzi & Pit a Pat - Boramiyu
Favorite Event: Slept for over ten hours today! It was SO relaxing and nice hah
Here is another math problem!
What are the minimum and maximum values of the function:
Hint: Trigonometric identities!
Reminder: Each and every one of you is beautiful in your own, special way! Don't get caught up in the vortex of social media that only shows the "perfect" people. You are amazing and most importantly, UNIQUE! Don't change because you are perfect the way you are <3
