September 4, 201412 yr My name is Peter Martin and I'm a senior this year at IHS. I am captain of the IHS X-Country team and I also like to swim and play tennis. Other interests I have are based in music and art. I want to become a musician with my focus instrument as Guitar though I also Trombone, Bass Trombone, Bass, and dabble in Banjo and Ukulele. I like to write songs and sing. I want to go to college for music performance. Fun fact about myself is that my dad lives in Hamlin so when I go to his house I get to walk to the lake and see goats in my backyard. I wanted to take Physics because I wanted to have a science class this year. I wanted a science class because after you take them you can always view the world in a better understanding. I know in physics there will be a lot of opportunity for hands on projects so I'm looking forward to that. I look forward to learning more this year though admittedly, not always the homework!
September 4, 201412 yr Peter this was great. Absolutely stunning. I agree with your second paragraph.
September 4, 201412 yr 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...
September 4, 201412 yr 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.
September 4, 201412 yr 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!
September 4, 201412 yr 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!
