That’s me, proudly sporting my medals (and a regrettable haircut) from a high school Science Olympiad competition in March 2014. My love of astronomy all started when I began competing in the Astronomy event with my high school’s Science Olympiad team. Check out our team’s information here or learn more about Illinois Science Olympiad at their website!

A Church & Science

Hello Everyone!

If you’re reading this, thanks for stopping by! My name is Sharonda and I am a Law History & Society major with minors in Spanish and Human Organizational Development. I love listening to music (90s dance and metal at the top of the list) and playing with my 2 boxers and gigantic chocolate lab named Henry. One cool location that I recently visited is Westminster Abbey located in the heart of London. In Westminster Abbey I was able to see (and sometimes walk over) the resting places of notable scientists such as Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking and Sir Issac Newton. I’ve attached a video showing the recent burial of Stephen Hawking at Westminster Abbey.

Welcome to Neverland

In my Astronomy class this semester, we will be learning about the Solar System and the universe we reside in. The world can seem so small but is massive when looked at through a Cosmic Perspective. I have always been a child at heart, so Disney is intertwined in everything I do. There are so many scenes from movies and shorts that reference the stars and believing in yourself. Peter Pan seems like a great point to start the adventure this semester. Stay tuned!

My name is Josiah Gray, but my friends call me JD. I’m from Detroit and I came to Vanderbilt because it was too cold up there.

That photo above is the one painting I have made in my life. Objectively a poorly done painting, I’ll be the first to admit I am no artist. But it’s something that represents me, I like to do things my own way. As long as I’m sharing things about me, I’ll tell you about the video blog I made when I was a senior in high school. It’s called the Friday Fill, I made it for my high school newspaper website. Here is a link to the one video of the series that won an award.

Intro Post

I’m excited for this course. I’ve always been interested about everything extraterrestrial! Below is a picture of a new member presentation and my unveiling as a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. The presentation was supposed to take place outside under the starry night sky, but the pouring rain had different plans for us…
