We went on a field experience at the Adler Planetarium and learned about the timeline of the universe. We also spoke virtually with a graduate student named  An Li who is focusing on getting her Ph.D. in space studies. For my action project, I had to write a research paper about a challenge that we face during space exploration. I choose to focus on space debris and how this affects space exploration.  Space Debris: the litter in Earth's orbit CBS News. ¨Space Junk.¨ The growing population of space debris has made it increasingly difficult to execute space missions.

Welcome to my first AP for Endurance. During this class, we learned about the holocaust and visited the Illinois Holocaust Museum in Skokie. We also read the book called ¨Night¨.

During this time I was also challenging the way I felt about my body and tried to push myself to grow.  Guiding Question: How do I adapt while faced with social anxiety in unfamiliar social settings?
