I actually like your ideas ceebee. If I could show passion for anything, it would definitely be snowboarding. The reason I want to go to Harvard is so that I can get ahead in my classes. I want to take 'Intro to Physics' and 'Calculus I' so that I can take Physics AP and Calc BC (or Calculus II) next year. I completely understand where you're coming from though. I agree that I should follow my passion and show it through my actions. I'll definitely look into the 'technical aspects' of snowboarding. Thanks so much ceebee! Nobody else has given me so much useful information
BTW, I don't believe that global warming is in our hands. The earth has in fact been hotter at times in the past and I believe that (in this case) what goes up, must come down
I did a research paper on global warming and have come to the conclusion that we simply can't lower the temperature of the earth :]
