This background was the first one I selected for myself when I first created a user account on the computer at home. I find it incredibly inspirational and an interesting image to look at. I chose it for my background because I found that I'd just stare at it for awhile and get lost in its awe. The chaos around the edges and the receding shore are powerful but in the middle of the image, the sky pats and a light shines on the raging see below. It has elements of a calm and strength I find very interesting
I chose these two because they are both my favorite football and baseball teams. I have very fond memories of games with family and friends from when I first went to a playoff game with my friend Nicky for his birthday when I was a kid to the Super Bowl wins of the Giants with my family.
This is one of my favorite pictures. I took this "selfie" of my brothers and I on a Sunday right before Church. I sent this as a Snapchat to my friends and thought before I sent it that this would be one I want to save, and I'm so glad I did. This is actually my cell phone background. I love my brothers. Conor (right) is 19 going on 20 and him and I have become incredibly close over the last few years we've had together in college. Kevin (center) is 10 and is growing faster than I can believe. He's bigger every time I see him and his smarts and athletic skills amaze me every time I visit home.
This apparatus may look complicated and confusing with all of the knobs, tubes and wires coming from it. It's a vacuum tube system that I used during one of my experiments in my Physical Chemistry class my Senior year at CUA. I remember taking this because I was in such awe of how intricate the setup was as well as how everything functioned. The sense of wonder and awe I felt is what motivates me and drives me in my studies of the sciences.
