The Big Crunch

I thought that iQuest was going to be like work experience except for something that I was passionate about, but it was so much more than that.  I learned a lot more than I expected to, not just about my iQuest interest area, but about success in general.  I learned about things that ranged from time management, to time travel.  It was a great mix and it was probably the best class I've ever been in because I actually got to study what I wanted to.  I enjoyed most the fact that I got to use school time to do something that I love.  I was most productive when I got to read the book because it really stimulated my mind and I got to contemplate things that did not exist to me before.  In reality, I was doing far less, but I was learning much more during the period when I read the book.  I learned about the different types of telescopes and I learned about different types of stars and nebulae.  I learned that I believe alien life exists because I had no opinion before.  I learned how to be a college student I think.  I really wish I did more floor shifts at Chabot so that I could teach more directly instead of using the telescopes.  I would give myself a 7/10 in learning my iQuest area because I feel like this is sort of a confusing topic and I think I handled learning it pretty well.  However, I had some opportunities that passed me by because of things like my band, my social life, and work.  This experience gave me very key skills for my future.  I now know how to network, manage time, meet deadlines, use prezi, write a resume, have a positive outlook, and get ahead of my competition in the future.  iQuest will definitely help my future.  I recommend this program to anyone who is passionate and curious about something, but it isn't for every high school student.  I recommend it to those types of people because if you are passionate and curious, then it is an easy A, but I also recommend it because it teaches some very important.  I had an informative and easy time in iQuest and I would do it again, but I am too excited to go to college.
