Science and Society: Partnership in the Coming Decades
Aim high, never settle for less.
If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.
– E. O. Wilson
Alas, the first quarter of the school year 2025–2026 is reaching a conclusion. It is hard to believe that this is my 4th and last JHS year. Many struggles, achievements, assignments, and quizzes have led to this point. Though this means I have one more year where I can make new discoveries, friends, and improvements. Improvements in academics, physical and mental fitness, social wellness, and many more. Although this quarter had only lasted ~2 months, I would like to ponder the wonderful experiences I have encountered.
In these two months of continuous learning, have I gained anything valuable?
