"Your homework for this quarter is in the syllabus...
...I do not expect you to need to be reminded when it is due." Sierra finished passing out the colorful study books, and stood in front of the whiteboard. "This is not an easy school." she added, "If you thought you would get an easy school, then your parents and guardians lied to you. I am a demanding instructor, but I will be fair. Your grades will depend on many things, many expectations, my first, is that you ask questions. Those of you who will not question what you are told, will not pass this course."
Sierra is eighteen years old, and already holds doctorate degrees. The children in the classroom, are between eight, and ten years old, this is part of 'paying it back' for Sierra-four hours every two days, classroom time, 'office hours' as well, and of course, the labs. Not as a student, but as a 'student instructor' with the Commonwealth Junior Academy for Gifted Students-a subdivision of New Avalon Institute of Science.
"We will begin with the basis of scientific understanding, and that is, we begin with observing everything, and questioning. The first statement of a true Scientist, is 'I don't know'." she intoned, "Imprint that on your minds. 'I don't know', because it leads to the true motivation for all scientific advances-'let's Find Out'...this is where you start writing in your books guys. Everything you are here to learn, is rooted in seeking knowledge, and that begins with admitting you don't have the answers but you're willing to look for them!"
