Taste is produced by the process of the proteins on your tongue that bind to anything that goes into your mouth which sends a signal to the brain to produce that sense. There are two genes that make up your taste of sweetness, and it's important because sweetness is an indicator that a substance is rich in carbohydrates.

I thought it was cool that the genes that make up the proteins on your tongue allow you to distinguish the taste between different substances that go into your mouth.

It never clicked in my mind how difficult it should be to move to new schools, but being a little kid it didn't matter much to me. I went to Dulles Elementary School starting in 4th grade and have been going to Dulles since then. Some of my friends who I made during middle school are who I still talk to today, so middle school definitely left a lasting impact on me as a person. For my 10th birthday, I got my first dog named Red, and we chose that name because of his pinkish/reddish nose, but he sadly passed away after 7 months due to kidney failure. When I was in 6th grade, my mom decided to adopt a Husky German Shepherd mixed puppy named Lucy.
