What have you done to make your school or your community a better place? Back in my junior year in Victory Christian Academy (VCA), my biology teacher conducted a yearly pedagogical program on studying the biome of shallow offshore waters around San Diego, hoping to let students to know the essence of writing a scientific research paper. Out of the fascination with the diverse and beautiful marine animals ever since a child, I eagerly participated in her lecture and aimed to get a deeper understanding of the marine world. It was a fun lecture and she did not conceal the fact that she had a hard time doing the statistic analysis. By the time she gave her lecture, it was only about half the data collected is processed in the research project. As she explained, she would quite often run into the miscalculations of the data collected with the wrong inputs of statistical formulae in the Excel, let alone the wrong inputs of data. She was on high alert that a careless move would jeopardize all her hard work and the whole project would turn out futile. Just as she put it, managing substantial data volume and calculating the right answer through the complicated mathematical formulas would exhaust one's patience and drive one insane. Being the head of the data supporting department of the school technology institute, a.k.a Servitech, I boldly came up to her and offered help to iron her plight out through my knowledge of the data science. She gladly agreed with my suggestion and sent me the Excel data sheets, which l, later on, ran in the SPSS, a professional statistics software. After sorting out all the factors included in her research, such as temperature, ocean flow speed, etc, I gave the data sheet a test-run. And quickly enough, I found the statistical results which indicated the significance of each factor in her research scheme. On behalf of the school project team, she expressed her most sincere gratitude and commented that my work had saved her a tremendous amount of time and energy.
