Belief

From small country, with big dream. Artist Statement This picture goes with my personality because I am a confident girl who doesn’t give up easily. My hand position describe that i'm not shy because i am taking my hair away from my face. The black and white color shows that there are two different side of me. The black side shows that my life is not perfect and I also have a problems. The light side of my life shows that I can fight with the darkness and find solution to my problems. I am a girl who was raised by traditional family and my value is based on what they taught me. Reflection People think we all have different perspective based on our own personal experiences we go through, because everyone is from different culture and we experiences different things in life. I agreed with different perspective but I personally believe that we see same situation differently based on how much information is available. We all have different perspective. “Why you think you’re right even if your wrong” trying to show that people need to learn how to feel proud instead of ashamed. Julia Galef use 19th-century France history about Alfred Dreyfus to use as example which was discovered in 1894. Julia Galef said “ They compared Dreyfus handwriting to memo and concluded that was a match” but Dreyfus has no past history of doing anything wrong. Officers also believed that the case against Dreyfus as strong. We are not perfect and we don’t always win but at least don’t go with group, fight for your own belief. The $100 Race video is trying to show that privilege is not only for white people it is for everyone. In the video there wasn’t only black or asian people on back, there was white people too. Everyone go through emotion on their life but it doesn’t mean we should stop right there. I believe based on the information available to me determine my perspective and make a opinion of it. When i was 14 years old I always thought i had to have friends to enjoy the life. I never focus on school because my 8th grade friend told that middle school grade doesn’t matter on college so enjoy your life before going to high school. I thought that information was good enough because i am a girl who trust people easily so I did skip my lots of classes on my last year of middle school.

    I really like the way you used your hand to show that you aren't shy. I wish you would've described why your body is turned away from the camera but you're looking at it.

    You picture was interesting, the hand being a notable feature. Your reflection is really well written out. Your mention of the case of Alfred Dreyfus helped to strengthen your point about biases being a strong factor in somebody's opinion of someone else.

    Pragya:

    I love your picture and how it reveals something really important about you. You might be seen as a shy person to some people, but you are brave and confident and have BIG dreams.

    You are right, culture has a big impact on who are are. You make the connection that the experiences we have in life are determined in part by what culture we belong to. You are unique because you belong to Nepali and American culture. This gives you special insight that not everybody else gets.

    Knowing that you want to be a travel nurse really makes a lot of this reflection make sense to me. You have to be really brave, be a hard worker, and want to help other cultures the best way you can.

    Thanks for your hard work, Pragya.

    Ms.B

Flash fiction AJ Wenger       Get out of bed and go to school. Don’t roll over and reset your alarm for another 10 minutes you know that 10 minutes is going to turn into an hour or two. You feel at the time that the extra sleep is so needed until you realize everything your missing at school will need to be made up. you know you’ll get that extra hour of sleep thinking its going to make you feel better the rest of the day but really when you get out of bed you’ll be bored and wished you would’ve gone.

After all that stress you’ll go through a whole other wave of stress wondering when and how you can make up for the 7 classes you missed.

No Backbone

Self-Portrait Project Flash Fiction: Some people say that you’re kind, you just see it as looking outside your own perspective. You know that not all of your friends have been loyal and have talked behind your back, yet you defend them and you always make amends. You want to yell and scream because despite all of them being older than you, they’re the ones acting childish. You’re tired of the games and apologizing first when you know that deep down - you have nothing to be sorry for. He flakes, she blames you for her faults, and he chose his relationship over friendship - in the end they’re all the same.  They say that you’re their best friend and then as soon as something doesn’t go their way - well, you know what happens. But, you’re tired of being told you have no backbone because you’re “too nice”. Once upon a time, you being so nice was their favorite quality because they took advantage of your kindness. They took advantage of you. Artist Statement: I’m...

Ripples

Ripples Flash Fiction: no sudden movements.  take it slowly. pace yourself.  you try to listen, but you never follow through.  your reflection in the water will always be marred by the ripples you make.  Artist Statement I chose to edit the photo of myself to appear as if it was reflected in the surface of a body of water. This decision was made to reflect the nature of my piece of writing, which played upon the phrase “to make waves” in order to portray the nature of some of the struggles i’ve faced in my own life due to my inherent need to push forward and push myself beyond my own limits. i chose to add a wash of blue to the photo to express the melancholy nature and subdued frustration associated with goals unmet and expectations unfulfilled. I chose to refrain from touching up my blemishes and imperfections in order to make myself appear just as human and genuine as anyone else who might read what i had written, and could better r...
