"If I were an element, what would it be like?"

If I were an element, I would be Boron.  Boron is a metalloid, and has many interesting and unique properties and uses.  I can compare myself to the element Boron in many different aspects.  For example, Boron creates strong molecular networks, and I like to create friend networks.  Also, Boron can transmit portions of infrared light, and I use my energy to lighten the attitude around me.  This element is very special because it works to help other people, just as I try to do.  It is commonly used for a treatment for arthritis.

What am I learning about myself as a student in chemistry?

I am learning that I like collecting data and I am interested in different experiments in the lab.  I think learning through a textbook helps a lot more than just doing the experiments though.  Also, I learned that a lot of chemistry is about history and nature also, which makes it interesting for me.
