Why did you choose to take IB Biology?
Truthfully, the only reason why I'm taking IB Biology is because it is necessary for the IB Diploma. Science is not my passion, and I have some trouble with it. It is much harder for me to understand science than it is for me to answer philosophical questions, write essays, use critical thinking, or any communication skills. My passion is not about things with a right or wrong answer, rather, it is about using critical thinking to come up with an opinion, or write a report. Lately, I have been thinking of taking International Relations in college, clearly, science is not going to be an omnipresent part of my future. Regardless of this, I have a passion for learning new things in an interesting way. Today, I understand it's necessity and importance much more than I used to, and maybe that's a step towards starting to like science. Like history. I did not like history at all, again, because it did involve any critical thinking, rather, the study of facts that have happened and cannot be changed. Regardless of this, last year, my history teacher made classes so interesting that I really enjoyed learning history. I hope that this happens again this year, and based on the first class, I really think that it will.

Luna, I hope that you finish our two years together with an appreciation of the deep thinking that must go into the creation of any scientific theory or idea. I'm glad you enjoyed the first day and look forward to more of your posts.
