Chemistry has always been a family affair. When I was in 1st grade in Japan, my mother took me to a state park to look at special mountains. They were special because sulfurous gas came out of the ground.

Also, I enjoy tutoring Chemistry and would like to help undergraduates succeed. I can help them learn the material, choose classes, and offer advice. It would give me...

My art is math. I believe what I do isn’t plagiarism. It’s closer to revolution because it’s about new ideas. During a math competition, we had one question on how to make a train station less crowded. We worked as a group of four, which meant that we had to cooperate with each other to achieve success. I did the modeling example, while the other three students did calculations and wrote the summary. We shared all of...
