Hello, my name is Max and I'm a senior in high school. Since everyone else is talking about the sports they play...I will too. My mother often asks me to stop playing tennis because it is such a physical sport, but I rarely listen to her so I continue to play at a varsity level. I can't have any pets except a boring fish because my dad is allergic to the fur on cats and dogs. At the moment I work at a restaurant called Hose 22 and I usually prepare food. I'm taking physics because it was recommended to me by my counselor. But I am excited to start physics because it looks like its going to be very different from all the other science classes. I also really want to learn more about the different forces that can act on objects.

Well let's be a follower and blurt out the same information as everyone else... Here we go. My names Corey, I play football and wrestle. I plan on joining the air force and becoming either a pilot or any other cool job I find out about. I am probably the only person taking this class that thoroughly enjoys science. I'm that person who sits at home and watches through the wormhole with Morgan freeman and thinks about the world and how we've come to understand it. I am also taking so bio (why? Because I can...) and I think Mr. Fullerton is super hilarious (true, but hoping he'll read this and I can grab some extra credit or something) and yeah that's a little bit about me. I am taking physics because well I'll say it once again I actually like science a lot. And also I just like knowing more stuff. Knowledge is power (yeah that's a Mr. Tytler quote) and I hope to be able to actually understand the mathematics behind some of the theories that I have heard about that fascinate and boggle my mind.

Hiya Brenda, and welcome to APlusPhysics. Do you have younger siblings? They could be pseudo-pets... Bonaventure is a great school, and Olean is a fun little town -- tons of great restaurants (The Beef and Barrel is one of my all-time faves!)

Hello Rika, can't wait to enjoy physics together this year woooo!!!

Hi Hannah -- welcome to APlusPhysics! Lots of volleyball players this year -- outstanding! Back in a former life (i.e. around the time you were born) I coached down in Texas. And a uke player too -- perhaps when we get to waves you might give us a demonstration?

Hello everyone! My Name is Moritz, I am the Austrian Exchange Student. I love sports, I play Rugby for RC Danube in the U18 Pirates Team, but also do lots of other sports like Windsurfing, Mountain-biking (Downhill), Skiing, Snowboarding, Kitesurfing, Sailing and lots of other Sports at any time of the year. In Austria I go to an "Art School" where the main focus is on photographie and art. I take Physics because it is part of my Exchange Programm and I have to, but I anyway think that it is very interesting as Physics is basacally everywhere! My goal for this year is the get a better view of Physics and I would like to do a lot in the lab and learn lot's of new things

I wish I could see goats from my backyard... good luck with your music

You're really good at guitar Peter! And I agree with your second paragraph, it really will help to view the world differently! Oh & the homework part too!

I was looking for a science class as well. Like you said it was pretty cool to hear about what other people were doing in this class!

I also agree with your second paragraph, but do you remember the nerf wars we had in your backyard in Rogers! Now there's some physics for you.

X-country captain, nice Pete.

Hi Peter, and welcome to APlusPhysics! Thrilled to have a guitar player in class as well (I have a piano and three guitars at home, though I like to play loud and with two little ones I don't get many opportunities to play without interruptions!) Maybe I can bring the 12-string into class in the spring when we talk about resonance and talk you into a demonstration? And I'm jealous about having goats in the backyard. Growing up in a rural area we had plenty of neighbors and friends and my brother and I always loved playing king of the hill with the goats -- fun critters when you're a kid. I don't think I could get away with having a goat here in the suburbs, though! Make it a great day...

Peter this was great. Absolutely stunning. I agree with your second paragraph.
