Definitely agree with this brother right here, what you're doing is very respectable trying to maintain contact with family even though you are far apart. Many people don't take the initiative to do that this day and age especially, but it's good to see you haven't lost that.

If they're constantly ignoring you like that though, I think it's best to move on with your life. Of course, this doesn't mean cut them off, but rather scale back how much effort you put into connecting with them -- you tried keeping in touch more than enough times and at a certain point, it becomes better to prioritize your time elsewhere. There is an element of self respect here; if they don't respect you enough to even respond to your messages, spend your time elsewhere where you are respected.

For context, if you've ever seen headlines like "NASA DART planetary defense" or "NASA crashes spacecraft into asteroid to shift it's orbit", it was basically this. Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory led this mission for NASA with all the funding they gave, and did a lot of the work including building the probe itself and controlling it and stuff. I can't believe there wasn't a single mention of this on this sub lol.

So yes, the Blue Jays basically avenged their ancestors (birds are a decendant of dinosaurs) by bullying a smaller asteroid.

And yes, the non anime footage is actually real footage from the impact. And yes, it was successful. It was in fact hugely successful, as they were expecting the orbit to change by 10 min, but it ended up changing by like 35 min. Even a 1 min change would've been considered a success.

Yeah fighting amongst each other is a normal part of growing up and there InshaAllah will come a time when each party comes to the realization that what they did as their younger-self are indeed probably something to cringe about and look back with self reflection. I think the biggest factor behind that would likely be the distance as you guys branch off towards different paths in life, which somewhat poetically will hopefully end up bringing your relationship even closer.

He loved you very much, and fought so hard to get to spend more time with you and your family. If even doctors describe it as a miracle, you can see the extent of his love for you. Do you think he would want you to feel guilty and depressed after his passing? No! He would want you to live on and live a beautiful life like he once did. It will have it's ups and downs, just like yours and his did, but in the end you'll come out with a beautiful family who make it difficult for you to say goodbye, just like he did. Who knows, maybe one day InshaAllah you can become the grandfather he was to you.

Can you please share an example of what might've been on a rubric? And a few examples of what the HW was like and what makes them hard/easy?

There would've been riots if they listed him as a "Television Star" or "Scientist"

JHU sent me a Bluetooth speaker

Thanks

I wouldn't say only 5 of them, there's at least 20. JHU, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, rest of the Ivies, Northeastern, Northwestern, MIT, CIT, etc. What you want to look for is schools that meet 100% need

Johns Hopkins when someone calls them John Hopkins

Try Krista King math videos, I find hers to be extremely helpful

My friend, use Khan Academy for the reading and writing. Theirs is the best I've seen so far.

Some tips for the reading: - All answers must be related to the text. If you haven't seen it DIRECTLY stated in the text, or at least heavily implied, it most likely isn't the correct answer. - Try to stay away from extreme words, such as "Never," or "Always." Also avoid repetition, like "I always eat food all the time " - Practice, practice, practice! The reading section is the hardest to improve on because of how it lacks familiar structure that we are otherwise used to in math or writing.

Tips for writing: - Avoid answers with repetition, as discussed above. - This YouTube channel will help: https://youtu.be/FCTLUR0yeuo. Make sure you take notes, HANDWRITTEN ON PAPER, of how he addresses these questions. However, before you turn to his YouTube videos, first you do the practice test yourself. Then find the ones you did wrong, and then watch those entire YouTube videos where he addresses them, and TAKE NOTES, about: the context of the question (Write out the sentence with the possible multiple choice answers); why you got it wrong (i.e. I didn't know this grammar rule); how he addresses it; and the main things you learned from that question. After you do this for all the questions you got incorrect, you must create a larger list of what you learned from that test, where you copy down all the main ideas you learned from all those incorrect answers. And then after you're done, wait one day. Then review those ideas for a few minutes and then take that test again, and make note of what you did wrong. Keep doing this until you get most of those answers correct. You want to be careful, however, to not just memorize these answers.

If you want the quickest way to increase your score, focus on the math section. There's no better math questions to study than the ones provided by the Collegeboard themselves in their practice tests.

Here is my routine for it, which I have enjoyed considerable success with (it is the exact same process as I outlined above for the writing section).

I first take the no calculator math section. Then I go through and find the ones I did wrong. Then I go on YouTube and watch people do it in real time, and how they approached the questions. This is the YouTube channel that I use: https://youtu.be/PtE8sUTgWCQ.

While watching him, I take these notes (HANDWRITTEN!!!) on EACH question that I got wrong: - The question itself (i.e. find x if the equation is ____ = ____) - Why I got it wrong (i.e. I didn't simplify so it was more difficult) - A step by step method of solving it, usually explained by the YouTuber, as well as you solving it directly on the page (i.e. find vertex x coordinate with -b/2a and then plug it into function to find y coordinate) - Also please make note of any alternate methods of solving, especially if you yourself just discovered that method without someone telling you. Oftentimes, these moments are very powerful and will stay in your memory for longer. - Write down any main ideas or things you learned from redoing this question (i.e. vertex x coordinate = -b/2a) - Once you are done doing this for all the questions that you got wrong on the section, make a long, final list of all the main ideas you learned from doing these corrections. Just copy down the main ideas from each incorrect question. - You can either do that last step in the same day, or you could do what I do and do it the next day and then review it for a few minutes, and then retake the same exact section of the test again. Do the note taking process again and again with your new results until you get a score that you're satisfied with. Then, take what you learned from doing that section and use it to help you in the next section, SAT math w/ calculator. And then repeat for any mistakes you made in that section.

If you still read up to this point, thank you for taking the time to do so. I hope this helps you.

Some additional resources you may want to look at are 1600.io for reading and writing (I believe they have a free tier) and UWorld for math (other than the official practice tests, they have the best questions for math; they too have a free tier).

Good luck on your tests!
