I have some preliminary results!

Today I finished processing the 20th sample population of sand crabs and put together a small graph to share.

The sample sites are listed from North to South along the California coast.  Each bar represents a percentage of the sample population collected that was found to have ingested microparticles.  Of the 20 sample populations, two did not have any micro particle ingestion, however the other 18 sample populations had sand crabs that ingested microparticles.    Each sand crab found to have microparticles was photographed and recorded. I am interested to see how the rest of my samples look and plan to have a more complete set of results in the next 2-3 weeks.

Dear Stuart Mann, OD

I’m Elizabeth Hernandez and I would like to attend your summer internship. I am currently a student at California State University Channel Islands in Camarillo. Currently I am undeclared first year student although I am looking into Biology to be my major. More specifically I am very interested in attending medical school to become an Optometrist. Although I am ready to declare my major and step onto the road to become an eye doctor I would like to learn more of what it is to be an optometrist.

My family and I have attended your practice for years now and very much like the attention given to us patients and the products you offer. I have seen the practice improve over the years from the new technology to new and more helpful glasses. Very lately I have seen everyone use new technology to store information taking place of papers and shelves. With this being said I am very interested in what brought these changes. Also every time the doctor takes a look into my eye I want to see what their seeing. I want to learn what the tools you use are called as well as what they are used for. I don’t recall before having to put eye drops in order for the doctor to see the back of my eye.What I am trying to say with this letter is that your office is a very interesting place for me. Everything catches my attention from the test letters that very from small to large to all the instrument the doctors use.

With this being said I’m an eager student ready to learn everything that occurs in your office as well as all the other problems related to the eye. I would really take advantage in a opportunity to be your student this summer and be an intern. I have attached my resume for your use.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Hernandez

How to Read Like a Writer

/in /by

As I struggled to read in this environment, I began to realize that the way I was reading—one word at a time—was exactly the same way that the author had written the text. I realized writing is a word-by-word, sentence-by-sentence process.(Mike Bunn 72). For at times this quote emulated my experiences as a writer, trying to get a message across some times is the hardest part.  The way I present my ideas forward, is by emulating different styles and techniques. For example, when you put a quote in the first part the paragraph, it give credibility to the starting of the righter per suave redric
