1. What are you most excited about in regards to your immersion experience? Why do you feel this way?
I am excited for the feeling of being an actual office worker at Qualcomm. Working with Qualcomm will give me many skills as an intern and as a fellow co-worker to these employees.
2. What are you most concerned about (what causes the most stress) regarding immersion? Why do you feel this way?
I am concerned about the photo essay, while also working on my project for my mentor. My project is a PowerPoint presentation, and I am thinking that this will take up a lot of time.

Charles Darwin
1. What is our responsibility do we have for the understanding of science?
The word Science comes from the latin word "scientia", which stands for knowledge. As humans, we are given the amazing abilities of curiosity and questioning and we need to use them to there greatest potential. By being curious we are able to question what we see. By queationing, we have been able to discover theories that we would have never believed. The first person to use question to its full potential was Socrates and thats why we do Socratic Seminars, which include questioning others on there information. Darwin was able to discover natural selection by questioning our Earth and it's creatures. So next time your curious about something, question it.
2. What role should scientific inquiry and scientific knowledge play in our own society?
In our society, the role of scientific inquiry should be used to come up with a way where we can learn to wonder and develop technology that is useful to our current situation of depression rather than creating things we don't need and barely use. If we want to get to the top without later failing, we have to think about the most beneficial substance or thing that we can all count on as a society-not just individually.

Greetings Mr. President
Hello Mr. President
I would like to discuss to you about some steps we could follow to help the economic crisis that is affecting our nation. Just as the Depression created many unemployed workers we cannot let that happen to our nation today. From past economic failures, I have noticed that FDR's New Deal helped create jobs and took control of many factors of our culture. We should try to use ideas from his New deal and as FDR said,"wage a war against the emergency". We should also create colleges to help more people earn a degree. If that is no possible, we could give more money to community colleges to create a better learning environment for our generation. This would help create some jobs for the many unemployed as faculty. If we are not able to fulfill the Americans demands right away, we should create the necessary image to fool these Americans into what they demand is actually happening. In your article “The Action Americans Need", you said "We can act boldly to turn crisis into opportunity and, together, write the next great chapter in our history and meet the test of our time" You gave people hope by including them in your so-called quest to defeat this crisis. I hope you take my ideas into consideration for your next plan.

My First Day At Internship
What happened today?????
When I got there, I had lunch with Gary Osumi and he gave us some backround information about Qualcomm. Then we got our badges. After that I met my mentor and she showed me around the offices. I logged into my computer and set up my information. After that, I left and walked to my car and went home.
How did you get to internship????
I drove myself.
What did you do for lunch???
I had lunch with the other interns from the hth schools/
How did you get home??
I drove home through traffic and it took an hour.
How did everything go?
I think that I gave a great impression to my mentor and Gary Osumi. Overall, I cant wait to start working on the cell phone software.

Barrack Delano Obama
Obama tries to follow steps simialr to FDR's New Deal, to solve the economic crisis of today; but he should also learn from FDR's failures. As with most Presidents, both Obama and FDR asked for more power to help fix the Great Depression and the economic crisis.
Obama's stimulus package is said to help "create jobs and to get people working and to get the economy moving again." This is very similar to FDR's New Deal because it also helped create jobs using the WPA (Workers Progress Administration). But the New Deal was created as a long run project while 75% of the stimulus package's $825 billion will be spent in the first 18 months. Also, The New deal affected all aspects of our nation, while the Stimulus Package will create for our 7.2% unemployed Americans.
Even though FDR's new deal was a big step to help our nation, he was a very cautious man. Many time, he vetoed a bill until it suited his ideas. Obama, on the other, is a spontaneous man. only 2 days after he became President, he created this huge package that he thinks will fix our problems by giving us more debt so that we can get rid of all the debt.
