For my senior project, I decided to do a fashion show, to allowed the SLA community to be apart of it by designing their clothing and showing some skills they have. At first, I did not know where to start. I was confused on how exactly I wanted my capstone to be. Finally, I decided that I wanted each designer to create something that is already made into something new. I wanted the designers to also choose who they want as their models, and what designs they want their models to have. Everyone is not perfect, some people wants to do something once in a lifetime, but they cannot because no one has given them a chance. I felt as though having anyone in my show and as my designer was fine with me. It is hard to be something you want in life when there is no one out there who is willing to help you or give you a chance. Even though I may not be the best at speaking or writing, SLA choose to give me a chance as a student, which made me who I am today. Everything I have learned, I learned it from my SLA family. Therefore, everyone has a passion for something but may not be good at it, so I was actually looking for people like that. Also, I did not want any discrimination towards anyone, so I did not do any tryouts or pick and choose people. As the week went by, I changed up a few things because I came up with new ideas, I needed the SLA community to help me donate clothes, shoes etc., or anything they did not want. The next week, I more and more about how exactly am I going to do this in so little time. I watched Youtube fashion shows and read more articles on how to create clothing, for example cutting sewing and even styles that I thought were cute. After weeks of researching, I found 5 designers who were interested in being a part of my capstone. I told them exactly how I was confused on what to do exactly but I will soon figure things out. So with the help of the SLA community, I was able to get two big bins of clothes and other things. I showed my designer some ideas I learned from researching, and how I wanted them to present their designs. 

  Each week I changed my capstone, or just made it better with some new ideas. Since I wanted it to be a creating new styles from old style I asked my SLA community to help me by donating clothes they did not want. After, I asked the designers to choose five models to model their clothing. Also, they should sketch out their designs for me. Afterwards, I let the designers buy fabrics and colors for their designer, some of them wanted to sew new clothing but did not in the end. Since it was all about the designers, I then thought of a new idea again. I decided to have five themes for the fashion show since there were five designers. Each designer made two outfits per model. As the process went on, a lot of things changed. Some people were not coming during the week to work on their clothing. Some of them were not able to sew with the sewing machine. Also, one of my of my designers dropped out. At first I wanted to freak out and cry, however I did not because I learned that it would not solve the problem and the show was in a week. So, I decided to create a theme to fill in for the designer that dropped out. I asked a teacher to teach me how to sew. I learned how to sew and dip dye in two to three days time, then I helped some of the designers who needed more time on sewing. Along with this, I asked some of friends from CHAD high school to come in to help because they were the experts at it. The week for the show, I taught the models how to walk, asked the camera crew to record for the show and got the DJ, makeup, performers, all that I needed. Overall, at the end of the day, my show went well, because everyone that I asked to help me did their part, and I made sure everything was set up correctly. A lot of the people in the SLA community helped the show to be great, so without my designers and them, the show would not have happened. 

I am most proud of myself, I really had no idea how to start at first but I just know I needed to start, so as weeks went by, I came up with more and more ideas for the designers and i never depended on anything. I always have a back up for just in case. I learned a lot of things threw out this process, I never knew anything about sewing clothes or cutting patterns for the clothes before sewing the clothes. I also learn that teamwork is the most valuable thing you need to a fashion show. But if I had the chance to do it all over again, I would start earlier on plaining things, instead of waiting, I would work with the models for a long time instead of waiting the week of the show. SLA is a better place because I allowed some of my following SLA students to show their talents or got the chance to do something they always wanted to do but never got the chance to do it. Maybe, it change some people lives, some of them may want to become a model or have more confident in performing now. Also, the diversity I made the show to have, everyone felt comfortable with what they was representing, each styles represents something and I feel really good that I was able to make some people feel confident of what they do.

Esta la reseña es sobre un niño que convertio a los 12 años. Tenia que ir a la guerra pero no quiere porque tiene los seres queridos. También sucedió durante la guerra civil, familia pobre que está tratando muy duro a través de la guerra. En mi ensayo  gustaría hablar sobre cómo esta historia se conecta con mi vida como un niño durante mi guerra civil que deprimente También, el una tragedia y las luchas de huir de los rebeldes, porque pasé por lo mismo y cuánto derechos que tomaba distancia de nosotros, tratados como animales.

En el año 1980, habia una  guerra civil. Eso sucedio en elSalvador. Esta guerra era triste, mucha gente dejaron a amigos y familia. Proteger Las casas de la familias fueron destruidas por soldados. En El salvador participó en la guerra. Cuando tenian 12 años, los soldados vienen en la busca de ellos a los niños soldados a luchar contra su pueblo, a veces, a sus propios amigos de la infancia. Esta película es Chava, que vive con su familia. Es de uno de los que cuidan las casa por  los problemas que dejó su padre con la familia. Por eso, Chava y su familia pueden no intento hablar por los rebeldes, así que por todos los medios Chava intentó ocultar, a veces él y sus amigos se quedaban  a permanecer allí hasta que los rebeldes hojas.

   Clip 1: tiempo de 1:30:03-1:35:03

5: Derecho a la no tortura esta parte fue la parte cuando los rebeldes llegaron a este lugar en la noche donde se alojen el Chava y sus amigos por la noche. Era el medio de la noche y empezaron a disparar y matar a la gente que ayudaba a ellos, y caminan a un lugar bajo la lluvia y sus pies fue sufriendo no toman cualquier roturas o qué tan nunca.

 Clip 2: tiempo 20-26

26: Derecho a la educacion se trata sobre el derecho a tener educación, cada niños asistieron a la escuela bastante.De hecho, este donde los rebeldes solían tener los muchachos de la edad, van a la escuela y obtener la lista. Además, su educación fueron bastante bien, aprendieron lo que todo el mundo aprendió. Por lo tanto, esta regla no estaba mal, hasta que sacar a los muchachos de la escuela para luchar.

Clip 3:30-37 este clip es el derecho a vivir libre y tener justicia. Los rebeldes no les dio el derecho a tener estas cosas porque quemar un montón de sus casas. A veces venían y sólo se rompe en casa de pueblo, deseo me siento está mal. Puedo relacionar esto porque durante la guerra civil de mi país los rebeldes lo mismo. Duele ser tratado así y no hay nada que puede usted podría hacer al respecto.

Contar la Historia,  aprendido mucho de este proyecto y de la película. Como dije antes, puedo relacionar a esta película mucho más que nada porque sé cómo se siente. Durante la guerra de la rebelde de mi país la rebeles apoderar hicieron estas cosas a mi familia, amigos, etc.. Se llevaron cosas de nosotros, nuestros derechos, en nuestro propio país. Nuestro pueblo hizo estas cosas a nosotros y Chav propio hicieron exactamente lo mismo a ellos. Esta película es un peliculón.

My specific topic is fashion club/charity. I have always wanted to help out a homeless settler but never knew how. However, since I love fashion and creating new style throughout people's everyday lifestyle I decided that i should have a club where other kids who enjoys fashion and wants to help in my fashion club to create new clothes from old clothes and at the end of the club we would have a fashion show and sell off the clothes then donates the money for a good cost.My goal is to get 200-300 people to come and watch the show, I honestly can not estimate if it’s going to be more SLA students or outside to come see the show. However, it’s most likely to be more depending on the promotion of the event. There will be 20 SLA models and 5 SLA designers. 5-7 SLA performers and 1-3 outside of SLA members who will also be performing. Fashion club/clarity!. I've decided  to establish a club at SLA for kids who enjoin fashion and willing to help in my fashion club. Creating new clothing from old clothes, by the designers from the SLA community and some other performers. At the end of the club, hopefully, have a fashion show and the money will be donated to "Fairy Godmother's. By doing this project I hope to learn how hard you have to earn/work for something in life. Because my mom always tell me how hard things are but I can’t never relate to any of them due to the fact that she and my dad spoils me and now I am for once doing something on my own and it has to go right.

I pick this source because it talks about the history of clothing. Also, ways they are created and some of the things they use to get the fabric they are looking for. For example this article tell you about the first clothes that were made from natural things, such as animal skin, fur etc. This would help me to know which clothes to sew or glue onto each other or the value of a certain fabric. Some fabric of animals that are very hard to find therefore the craft and fabrics stores sell them very expensive and I wouldn't want to waste it by making a mistake.

Kuronyi, Anne. "Welcom/e to Our Online Thrift Store." The Attic. The Attic Bethlehem, 7 Apr. 2008. Web. 01 Feb. 2013.

This is need for the importance of thrift store and how it could be cheap because of what we are doing. Also, the it's clothing that is already worn or made that would be created into something new. For example a sweater could be very old and one of our fashion designer could create a newer style into it.

Kaufman, Robert. "Knit Fabric." - Discount. Amy Butler, 5 Apr. 2003. Web. 01 Feb. 2013.

This site is useful because it tell me the difference between these fabric. The culture and why is certain fabric is being used with another type of fabric. I have learned that not all sewing machine are used for all fabric that is something useful I think I needed to know. Because if I wanted to sew a certain fabric on a sewing machine that isn't built to sew a thin line fabric and that fabric could be ruin.

Basualdo, Carlos. "Philadelphia Museum of Art - On View." Philadelphia Museum of Art - On View. Philadelphia Museum of Art, 12 Oct. 2012. Web. 21 Jan. 2013.

  This site talks about how dancing affect some people in a way, because some people uses dance to communicate in certain part of the world. For example, in one of West African country, Liberia, there a village called Nieba. In this village there’s a dance performed called the Niemba dance and this dance is performed by mostly women. The communication in this dance is showing the “obedience” of a womanhood. Waking up in the morning going to the market and gathering food and cleaning around the house then prepare food for you and your family. Also I have actually performed this dance and I did the farming one, going to the farm, cutting crops and putting it into the pot to bring it home. The way they communication is acknowledged is by the drums, the drummer is going to play a certain beat and that is when you should do another move or how to start moving. 

"Silk Fabric Information." Fabric Information: Silk, History of Silk. NY FASHION CENTER FABRICS, n.d. Web. 01 Feb. 2013.

This would be use to help me take more care of this fabric because as we all know it a very hard to find the correct one. Also, the value of fabric and how it could be created into something really valuable. Another reason this is useful is, a lot of clothing is created from silk nowadays therefore we have to be careful with it.

"Teen Vogue — Fashion Starts Here | TeenVogue.com." Teenvogue Content. N.p., n.d. Web. 31 Jan. 2013.

I am using this site to help me understand how different outfit could be worn base on the season. Some colors that you could wear in the winter you wouldn’t wear in the summertime due the “fashion rules”. Some people actually follow some of these rules and obey by them. Also, this site allows me to view options styles that some of my designer could use or their theme.  

 "Celebrity Engagement Rings." ELLE. N.p., n.d. Web. 01 Feb. 2013.

Some people wear the most expensive clothing that they think are the worth, when deep down someone could create the same outfit for less money. Also the makeup, this gives easy ways to put makeup on for a starter. Not everyone likes to wear make up and this site could tell us about what things to use to avoid this matter.

"The 25 Best Men's Style Blogs Right Now." Men's Style: Men's Fashion, Shopping, & Streetwear Guide. N.p., n.d. Web. 01 Feb. 2013.

This is useful for the blog we are also creating for the fashion process. For example we would have “ rating and best outfits/ week”. Also, shows the improvement from what the designers did that is similar. Compare their outfits and let the SLA kids rate them, so that way we would know what we need to change and add or remove. Because after all it’s the audience view we are trying to get.

Annotation: This source is website called TeenVogue.com. Since there’s a lot teen we are working with, it is best that we try to make them feel comfortable towards what they are wearing. Some people may not like to show their body parts as much as other people so the designers have to create clothing that best describes them in a way the models will feel comfortable with their body. Therefore this site helps me to know more about teens.

Mi Diario 

Antes de la unidad cuando pensén en Chávez que nada a mi mente porque yo no sabía quién era. Sin embargo, una vez la unidad pensé era una mala persona, basada en los comentarios y cosas que la gente decía sobre él, además de sus partidarios. 

Me enteré que mucha gente sabía que él era y también que le gusta en su país porque hicieron una canción sobre él. Además, el país está en buenas condiciones por lo tanto era una buena persona y no todo el mundo la gusta pero toda era una buena persona. 

Estoy trabajando en su país en la clase de historia y están en una condición estable, también ayudan a otros países, por tanto, yo votaría por él. Si mi país está bien, eso significa que el Presidente y sus partidarios están haciendo un gran trabajo. La gente está contenta por lo que fue un gran líder.

Time : 1 hour

Materials :

Pot 

Bowls 

Solve

Knife

Cooking spoon

Ingredients

1-2 8oz pack of frozen cassava leaf. ( Get this from an local Africa market) 

1 smoked chopped Turkey 

Raw cropped chicken 

Bonely (dry fish ) 

1/2 regular drinking cup of palm oil 

1 tea spoon black peppers

2 tea spoon salt

1 onion chopped 

1 sweet pepper

2-4 maggi 

6 quarts of water in cups 

4-6 HOT peppers 

1) Add 6 quarts of water in cups in a big cook pot than add the chicken. Boil the chickens  for about 30 minutes. ( since the chicken is raw it would be best if it bowls by itself than add the rest of the meat later. This way the rest of the mat wouldn't be too over cooked. 

2) After 30 minutes, add 1/2 tea spoon of salt and black peppers with 2 maggi. 

3) Add the turkey, dry fish 

4) Now wait for about 5-10 minutes , before adding the 1-2 8 oz pack of frozen cassava leaf ( It’s does not matter wether or not the cassava leafs are frozen. ). Cover the pot. 

5) Since in this case the cassava are frozen, wait for 10-15 before opening the pot to see wether or not the cassava leaf melt. 

6) If the cassava is melt and the cooking spoon is able to stir the soup without it being stuck through the cassava leafs, you can now add the sweet peppers, onion.

 4-6 HOT peppers. ( blend the peppers, onions and sweet peppers together before adding) 

7) Close the pot for about 15 minutes so the cassava can cook with the rest of the other things that in there and the spice that were added to it, This way the cassava leaf would have the taste of the spice. 

8) After 15 minutes is over, stir the soup and taste it, if there’s not enough spice or season add 2 more maggi to the soup, or if it needs a bit more season ass 1 more. However, if the spice and seasoning are over, add 1 cup of water, this way it would make the soup less seasoning. But if the season and spice are not too salty or less salt you are good. 

9) Now, after completing step 8, cover the soup for another 5-10minutes, in this process lower the solve a bit .

10) Open the pot and stir the soup, this will proven the soup from burning. Taste the soup again, to check if the seasoning is not too much. 

11) After tasting, add 1/2 cup of palm red to the soup, ( make sure you are careful while adding, if you are making a smaller dish than this add a smaller amount than this and it you a person that like a lot of oil in your cooking add more oil. Stir for about 20 seconds. 

12) Close the pot and leave the solve on for another 5-10 minuets so the palm oil could reach everywhere in the soup and also get the spice. 

13) After 10 minutes, open the pot and taste the soup, if you like how it taste, turn the solve off and you are now done. But if you do not like the taste of the soup, you can add more spice o add more water to take the spice out. 

14) In this case, we love the way it taste, therefore we are done cooking. 

Analysis  

Cassava leaf is a common soup that is originally from an West African country, Liberia. Many people love the taste of it and there’s so many ways you can make it. Sometimes, some people like their cassava leaf bitter, so they add a leaf to it and this leaf is call (feva leaf). It makes the cassava leaf make like a stronger taste than it usually have. Also the leaf is healthy for you, so some people like to eat it with the cassava. Cassava leaf is leafs from the Cassava that is planted, and before the cassava comes out of the ground or in a stage to ready, there’s leaf that is on the stems. 

Sinópsis 

La pelicula Mar Adentro se trate de Romón Sampedro un tetrapléjico. Romón vivi con sus famila en ,agonía y sus amigos eso visite en sus casa. Romón Sampedro era a hombre quién gusta viajaba por el mundo y trabajar como mecanico marinero antes del accidente. Romón es alto y pelo café, y gracioso.

En mi posición I sería quieres a vida y piensa vale la pena. Aunque yo soy en a condición que está deprimente, todavía me gustaría vivir y me llamo y intento obtener ayuda por yo vivir con mi familia y amigos y morir contento. La película es controvertida porque presenta unas preguntas polémicas tales como. La pelicula es controvertida porque presenta la euthanasia. La Euthanasia es a deprimente y  manera a vive. 

Sin embargo, a interesante y tiene differenté opinión en definición unos la muerte. Para la sociedad, estas preguntas abren debates feroces porque muchas personas debates la decision y no apoyar. Por un lado, en  la pelicula de, Romón quiere a morir. Las preguntas abren debates feroces para la pelicula proque muchos personas pensar differente opiníon.

Yo personalmente pensar nadie necesita quitarse la vida, dios pone todos personas en mundo y todo pasa para razón. Entiendo que el vida es muy triste para el y mucho personas pensar Eso es ridículo y Romón podriá ir y ser con person pero el no de acuerdo. La definición de amor represente todo. Porque Romón tienes personas a quien le importante amor él para él, gusta Julia o Rosa. 

Los más importante es Romón es muy intelligente person y útil en sus familia. Desde mi punto de vista, amor medior differenté para persona, si Romón quiere sus vida a ser feliz es sería. Romón tiene esperanza porque todos morir, dios no personas sufren para nada.

In today’s world the patriot act is still needed to protect us from harm. It has been crucial in fighting the war of crime and terrorism. This law gives us more knowledge on terrorism throughout the world that we will need to prevent future attacks from happening. The Patriot act makes it difficult for terrorist to get ahead of the law.

The law was signed shortly after the September 11th attacks, with little appeal. While this law is in effect we have more intelligence on crime and illegal things that could be potentially harmful.  One of the main duties of this law is to improve the security in the United States of America. The Patriot act prevents international money laundering and the illegal use of the United States financial system. Without this act we would be more vulnerable to threats from around the world.

The main keys of this law is  improving surveillance which is used by investigators to track suspected terrorists also it allow the federal government to attain business records, business could be prosecuted without warrants if they are suspected of fraud. Another Main key is that the united states government can track non-us citizens who are not connected to a terrorism group

The patriot act is benefiting us years later.  A real life example of this working is the death of Osama Bin Laden, through the intelligence that we gathered over a large period of time , helped us find the leader of al-Qaeda , and kill him . In addition,  we are still working on the ways we can gather information throughout the world.

With the passage of the Patriot act, America is safe and secure. The act prevented many attacks from happening, such as the Buffalo Six which was a group who were convicted of providing money and material support to al-Qaeda.   This is one of the many ways that this law has helped us.  Without this law I think that our country would be at more risk for future attacks , and we would basically take a step in the wrong direction , because our country has come a long way in improving the way we live and operate things since 9.11 .

Some interesting facts I came across was when most African Americans students had to walk 7-10 miles just to get to school they are being forced to attend. Each individual changed history, even though there were some illegal things happening, some people were happy the way African American was being treated. Also it seem like most Whites was okay with the way things were "separated but equal".

 I was confused through out the entire process of putting it together and every time I asked someone they would tell me they are confused too. Show examples more of how things should look like and set up work time with you for help.

I would change the time, I wish I had more time, it not even that I didn't use my time wisely but some people just learn differently from others. This project was one of the project that I really needed help with because things just wasn't clicking correctly, but as days went by, I figure out ways and researched more about unclear things and got it done.

a. What went well? Some of the things that went well were coming with the idea and making it to be creative yet clear. Also we worked together as a group and spilt up the work to get it done quicker and we also helped each other understanding their part of the project.

b. What did not? Some of the things that did not go well were, getting out pictures to be large on the slides and when we upload it. Also to connect the creativities with our ideas we had in mind and that our a audiences would be able to see the message clear.

c. What would you do differently next time? Some of the things we would like to do differently next time are, instead of using what we used to show our numbers on the mountain we could of more pictures and instead of the using the mountain, would could of used something different like hills etc.

d. Specifically comment on the 10 tips for effective infographics –our project wasn’t that creative to have all the 10 tips, however the mining people on the mountain is the notifies the creative’s that is in it because it stand for in OCK the area were very tight and many people had to make their way up by fighting and because of the oil spill it was hard. Our elements of designer were hard because of the image we had in our head kind of turned out the way we wanted it but still not exact, our pictures isn’t large enough and the 10 tips wasn’t in it as much.

This quarter you have studied how to draw a clear object of a glass  in a 3D model using art skills.  You learned about the different ways you have to draw the picture depending on where you draw the picture from. The angles matters, because it is what you see, not what you think. I drew this picture using black charcal and a white even sides paper. I started of thinking about the clear object that I wanted to draw, the object that could best fits my skills towards art. I shaded the entire paper light with the charcal. However, I shaded the middle darker and rub it with a paper towel to lightly the shade. I first started with a circle, one on top and one at the bottom. I realize that the object wasn't a circle drawing figure therefore it would be hard to translate the image on the paper. After drawing my model, I beings to transform it, from a 2D model to a 3D model. I drew the light reflection. The parts that are light, I took an erase and erase the top and sides and I added shadows of my object and erase some parts of the object it self to show that the object is a clear drawing.

I'm from a strong world, wars has destroy us, dusty, sandy, people suffering, I go day by day wondering what if?

A reason to why mankind hates his own hometown.

Helpful, happy and fun, Where I'm From? Different

Where I'm From?

Teddy, Chernoh, Jenneh, Jimmy, Umaru, separated families

Friendly hot and tiredly, rich and fresh, cold air blowing you from head to toe.

Attend Mosque every Friday, pray five times a day, fast for months from dawn to sunset.

From a two season ,(dry season and raining season)

To a four season (fall, winter, summer, spring)

Where I’m From? We don’t pay bills, our money value more a dollar is worth 50 dollar.

    Who Am I ?

The type the person who just love to dance, chill back , not worrying about other people business but my own,

 A lucky girl who came to the united state at the age of 10,

     Type of person who will never forget where they came from,

WHY? Because I am From Africa, Born A Rise.

Knowing the language doesn’t always means that you’re able to pronounce the words correctly, around the world many people speaks different languages

“Say Street” My friend said in a very snarky tone, “ShhTreek” I attempted to repeat. “No Street” she said. “ShTreet,” I said again you could hear anger building in my throat.

She began to try to coach me again with saying the word she said “Okay say tree”

I again repeated her “Tree.” I could tell she was becoming restless when she said “ Okay now put an S on the beginning of tree.” “Okay, streck,” I Said. “No S-Tree-t” She screamed. “Forget it, I can’t say it right, don’t waist your time trying to help me.” I said in a frustrated monotone voice. “ It’s easy, I mean you know how to speak English so I don’t know why you can’t say “street” right?” She said with a sarcastic voice it seemed as if she was making a mockery out of me. At this point I was very upset and shouted, “ I don’t know why, I just can’t! Bye.” I said

I have had many stages in my life when I would reach a point that silence is all I could muster up, my mouth would shut as if my tongue was like a finger that got slammed in the door, it was throbbing wanting something to come out but it just couldn’t. When I’m around my friends, I “talk black” which is normal for me, I say some words differently then I usually say when I’m around my parents. “Sup Yo” I would say when I’m with my friends and “Hello” I would say when I’m around my friends. My friends say they can hear my accent a little.)

I’m supposed to speak another language by the name of Fula, but I don’t because I never lived with my father, that is his native language. I traveled from my country, Liberia to America because my dad wanted us to move here and establish a new life. He thinks there’s better education and changes in America for us. I Spoke English in my country but it wasn’t the same as the way people speak English in America. My English was so different that, whenever I talked to a person from America, they would have a confused face. Some of the words are the same just when we say those words it then becomes different, “Hello, Oo” that’s what we would say in my language.

 When it reaches the time to go back to school, I pray that I won’t mess up when I’m reading aloud in class. I know how to read, but sometimes I get mad at myself because it’s very hard for me to pronounce some words correctly in the way. I listen to how other kids in my classes speak and pronounce words. Their voices don’t have an accent, they don’t sound as if they’re nervous, I don’t hear fear in their voice. In the essay The Women Warrior, (Maxine Hong Kingston), the author describes when her little sister and her had to read in front of their teacher, they were scared that they might mess up. In the story the author was scared when it was her little sister’s turn to read. “She opened her mouth and a voice came out that wasn’t a proper either.” When you know a language, you don’t always know how to pronounce words in that language, the author and her little sister clearly knew or were engage in the English speaking language, but they didn’t know how to say or pronounce some words. It’s very difficult to say some words in a language.  

“Class, Please take out the class rules sheet” Mr. Kay Said

I Sat down, looking over the paper and praying in my head that he would not call on me. 
“Who wants to read the first paragraph?” –Mr. Kay Said

The other kids raised their hands eagerly ready to read. A lots of kids had already read and it was the time that my heart began to beat extremely fast. I get so nervous it feels like my tongue get stuck between my teeth and the words never come out right when I have to read in front of a large group.  In the Essay, The Women Warrior, By Maxine Hong Kingston, the author describes her reading to her teacher and how she felt, “you could hear the splinter in my voice, bones rubbing jugged against one another.” I always feel exactly the same when I’m reading aloud in class. I let fear take over the fact that I have an accent and I hate the way it sounds when I read. It’s doesn’t sound the same as the other kids when they read in my head it sounds wrong, confusing and people do not understand me.  I get nervous and hate myself because I can’t do anything about it.

Hola, mi nombre es Rugeiatu J. Bah, soy de África normalmente. Cuando primero me conmovedora Filadelfia, me di cuenta que América esta algo como Liberia. Mi primer la comunidad muy tenía mucha violencia.  No tengo muchos amigos pero tuve primos. Mi madre quiera deijar el barrio adonde yo vivia por que era muy malo para que yo creca. Cuando mi madre y yo primero visitó nuestro barrio ahora,me gusta parecía, en casa grande y en bién condiciones. La gente por hay parecía  en casa grande y en buenas condiciones. La personas por hay parece agradable. Finalmente,cosas cambiadas, ahora es menos gente de mi barrio y me siento bien a b viven en barrio, porque siento que es mi nueva vida ahora.

Mi mural es muy simple, ya que sabía que yo no soy creata, un punto y es fácil. Las imágenes muchas palabras en mi arte, por lo que es más de un etiquetado que dibujo.. Y las palabras de mi arte es decirle a el mensaje en general. Por ejemplo, en mi arte en la parte inferior se dice "se está hablando de" y cada cosas en que relata lo que la mayoría de la gente alrededor de mi barrio piensa y las palabras podían  sí. Yo no realmente elegir ciertos colores porque yo no creo que tuvo palabras y una o dos personas haciendo para explicar el mensaje. Es necesario que la sociedad vuelva piensan que la vida, las carreras y estar enojado a uno otro tiene que parar. El mensaje de que estoy enviando, la gente necesita reunirse una 2 semanas para ayudar a limpiar la comunidad, y tratar de cuidar el uno del otro si no saben la persona. Pero como un ser humano y por el bien de la comunidad.

Para mi, sí, creo que mi el arte público es verdadera porque, como antes, es importante de los mensajes que se envía. Además, si socadad entiende mensaje. Lo más importante es que yo más mejor, no que mi pinting no es bonito lo que es pero si de colores y pensado en la el grafiti creativo más. Otro que I como mi pinting pero me encanta el mensaje que se envía.
