I was born on the 18th of this month and I am finally 18 years old (on the 18th of April cool enough).
I was able to finish up my independent component #2 thank God. I thought I was not going to be able to finish since I only had 5 hours in the beginning of this month ahaha XD. I was able to watch more procedures and volunteer in the Cath Lab which was nice. On the 23rd, that was my last day at Cath Lab, so I gave my goodbyes to everyone. They were all really nice people. I had fun volunteering here because I had more work to do than the other departments I have volunteered in. And they let me watch procedures too which was great.
I changed my Essential Question as well. It was originally, "What is the most effective way for a cardiologist to treat cardiovascular disease?". It is now: "What steps can be taken to ensure the health and well-being of a cardiac patient?"
The reason I changed it to this EQ is because it is somewhat more specific but yet at the same time more open. By "what steps can be taken", this doesn't limit it to only what steps the cardiologist can do like in my previous EQ; these steps can be taken by the patient, nurses, and cardiologist all at the same time. Since in reality, all of them do have to take action to heal the patient, including the patient himself taking action to cure himself.
Well, my big senior presentation is coming up on Tuesday, May 26th in 1st block with Mrs. La Russa as my teacher grading me. I look forward to planning, preparing, and practicing for my presentation. It seems like it will both a fun and valuable experience. I have never given a 1 hr and 30 minute presentation, so this is going to be interesting.

I am thankful because all of these are the people and presentations I wanted to see, well except for a few; I unfortunately had to choose one person over another because I couldn't choose both of my friends :/
Today, the last day of April, was really fun as well. We had a game night at I-Poly, so I played a little bit of COD, watched a little bit of LOL, and also saw a little bit of Super Smash Brothers. I also went to the MPR to watch the MGP (Multi-Genre Paper) presentations being done by the freshmen. There were a lot of good presentations that I liked. For lunch, me, Kade, Dahdouh, and Eliora all went to Carl's Jr. just nearby I-Poly. Kade was such a nice guy today; he bought be french fries out of the goodness of his heart. Dahdouh also shared his fries with me as well. May God bless them and grant them more money. Kade also drove me to the movies tonight which was nice of him as well. What a blessing to have such great friends!
(For those of you that don't know, if you want to sit in the shotgun seat in Kade's car, the rule is that you have to call it once you see his car in sight. Whoever calls it first gets to sit in it. So thank God I found out and was able to sit there on my ride to the movies XD)
And the best part of today was that I got to hang out with my friends by watching 'Avengers 2: Age of Ultron' on opening night at Chino Hills Harkins Theatre 18! This was my first time to watch a movie on the first night at the first show, so that was pretty cool. I rarely go out to the movies and I am glad I went with my friends because I had such a great time with them. I got a lot of bonding time with all of them. Where I was sitting in the movie theatre, the people that sat with me were all from last year's West House with Mr. Navaroli, so that was cool. The movie was great. I loved the action and the plot. A good lesson from it as well: It is scary what human hands can wrought and bring unto themselves.
Here is the picture with me and my homies:
