Superhero !!

     My birthday is April 18th, so my superhero would be made of the frontal lobe and dopamine. I think my superhero would be a judge by day and a persecutor by night, with the ability to deter villains by depleting their motivation levels, dishing out justice. The judge/persecutor is reminiscent of the frontal lobe as it helps with judgements, and motivation as dopamine is responsible for that.

    Nephtalie would be a second generation Haitian immigrant, hoping to give her parents the best life possible. Growing up, her favourite subject would be English, and upon entering high school and taking a course about law, she'd realize what she wanted to do. Nephtalie would have a strong sense of justice, and as she navigated life she'd realize she could forcibly will herself to be motivated, helping her get through law school. When she graduated, Nephtalie realized just how much corruption there was in the world, and although she played her part at her job, she wished to do more, leading her down the vigilante path.

    Her paychecks would go towards funding a simple life, along with helping her keep up her nighttime persecution activities. One of Nephtalie's most memorable moments was nothing too special, but quite significant for her. She went out once, late at night to grab a snack from a gas station down her street, as she realized the store was being robbed. Panicking, she didn't know what else to do. Thinking back to her college days especially, she thought to herself, 'if I can motivate myself, can I take it from others?'. And so she did. The robbers crumpled to the floor, drained of any will to do anything, and then she realized just how much power she really had.

 My 'article' is about saccades. They're the short bursts of movements your eyes use to move around. The post summarized is basically:  1) During these bursts of movement, your eyesight essentially stops working. In order to compensate for the distance travelled, your brain basically plays your beginning position to your end position, but backwards. 2) Your peripheral vision is in black and white, unless you focus your attention on it. 3) Laser damage is harmful, as you might not be able to tell if you have it. Your brain is adept at hiding holes in your vision, as you can tell by bullet point 1. 4) Your eyes technically flip your vision, however, they've adapted to see normally. 5) Cephalopods don't have blind spots, have an internal lens, and can see polarization of light. This is one of my favourite things to read, actually! I revisit it every so often :D https://9gag.com/gag/aV09md8?ref=pn

 1) I think some advice would be to start vocab beforehand. Try not to do it the day before. Keep a good, detailed notebook with all your notes, because they really do help for tests and the AP. 2) The create a brain activity was my favourite! I still have photos from it. The tiny, insane looking orange was so cute. 3) I think everything was pretty good this year, so I don't really think anything should be left out next year. 4) Maybe a smaller project? Something creative and on a smaller scale than the powerpoint. Also, more movies would be fun!
