　　When I saw beautiful blue came to my eye, I realized that I am ready for taking this adventure as a real scholar. It is my first time to travel alone. To be honest, I am very nervous to do a project with Prof U from Harvard Medical School. I don' t have much confident to persuade myself that a student who is still in the senior high school is able to be successful in a college level program. Otherwise, Harvard University is the top university in the world. Havin a project in Harvard place, working with Harvard people sounds too high to reach. But once you get the chance, you need to try your best getting closer to the peak I arrived in Boston on July then went to BCH I having meeting with Mentor. U on July 23. He is really nice and kind asking what we feel about the airplane tour, how we deal with jet lag, and where we live with our home stay.

The whole article is talking about what neurodevelopmental processes change during adolescent decision-making. Though whole article,came out some questions "What neurodevelopmental processes change during child decision-making?","Can children make decision without parents or teachers? " and"Why would children talk to stranger without adults permission? At the end of first week, we have the second meeting doing our presentation. All the questions were discussed at that time: the curiosity within kids, the changing in curiosity with different age.Our group researcl topic came from our own idea. It is a topic in what we interested and glad to explore deeply. Finally, we decided our group topic is "The intensity of curiosity and age.
