Research Class ( ID )

In my science class, there are only a few people that were chosen to be in that class, which is also similar to the Leadership Class because it is filled with the people I was Honors Chemistry with. In Science Research we were all given the opportunity to pick a topic on anything we want to research on, and at first I did not know what to Research on but then because of my culture I was able to connect and finally come up with a hypotheses. Growing up in an African household opens my curiosity in many things because usually when something is hurting, families believe in faith or religious ideas, stating "God will make you healthy, you just have to be patient and have faith". I first experienced menstrual cycle in 7th grade where I thought I wasn't normal. I thought I had a disease, but that was just a phase, where I soon started getting cramps the next month. I wanted to ask my dad why do I receive this, but he is going to say "inshallah you'll feel better”; however the every month the same pain occurred. One day I went jogging with my brother and did push ups my cramps weren't as bad as before. Because of this experience I concluded that if a person is more physically active then their cramps would last for shorter amount of days. I enjoy being in Science research because I am able to take control in what I am researching on and I am doing something that I am interested in. As the school year proceed I hope to see if my hypothesis was correct.

  1. I'm a little confused. Are you doing your research on menstrual cycles?
