The Creators

If you wanted to know about the masterminds behind all the work, graphics, and research on this page - you've come to the right place. ThinkQuest Team 10898 is a three-student, two-teacher, and one-computer developer collaborative workgroup. The group was chosen by Jonathan, student one, for their excellent writing and innovative abilities. Also, the coaches were carefully chosen so that all our questions would be easily answered. During the school year we met often to discuss topics and obtain research materials, and during the summer months we met twice a month to discuss the progress of the page.

Jonathan, Andrew, and Jennifer

Jonathan, Andrew, and Jennifer are the three students involved in this ThinkQuest scholarship contest. Jonathan was the first member of the team and was responsible for all the graphics in this entry. Jennifer joined Jonathan to help him with the research involved in the project. They both thought that Andrew would make a great addition to the team considering he is such a creative person. Some of the neat ideas you see in this site may have been thought up by Andrew. A (terrible) picture of Jonathan is on the left - and a picture depicting the uniqueness of Andrew's personality can be seen on the right.

Angie Pascua, Cheryl Krestan, and Kevin O'Brien

Mrs. Pascua, Mrs. Krestan, and Mr. O'Brien are the three coaches for ThinkQuest team 10898. Mrs. Pascua was part of a winning team in last year's ThinkQuest contest and introduced Jonathan to the contest this year. Mrs. Krestan was asked to help out and be a History consultant by the team, and indeed she was a great help. Both are teachers at Catholic High school in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Mrs. Pascua teaches Religion, and Mrs. Krestan teaches both World History and Psychology. Mr. O'Brien has a major in Computer Science and proved to be a great help in searching the internet for sources and answering all the team's technical questions. The picture on this right is of Kevin O'Brien and his three daughters.
