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

Love and Passion

Flash Fiction And Artist Statement               Why? Why did you hit the ball so hard? What would you expect to happen? Why didn’t you listen? If you would have listened you would’ve probably not regret it. You hit that ball so hard over the net that day you couldn’t believe it. You were doing so well, you scored your team a goal, it made you feel loved hearing your teammates cheer and your family cheer. But when you walked to that penalty spot and hit that ball over the net you didn’t feel love anymore. You blamed yourself. When your captain told you if you wanted to take the penalty you could have said no. You wanted to prove yourself because people look down on you but you just proved that your just a mess up. You thought everyone was disappointed in you. You cried after the game because this is the sport you love and have a passion for. You felt empty. You lost your confidence. Professional players miss penalties. Don’t worr...

Self Conscience

Kaleb Wiebel You know, you should really stop arguing with yourself all the time. You must realize at some point that you’re probably the only person who thinks like this. At least it’s how you think in those rare instances when you decide to put any amount thought into something. Even then, you might not even decide to have a filter between your mouth and your brain. You do understand how stupid that makes you look right? Hey. Hey! You’re not even listening, are you? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------                 My piece depicts two faces in, what I intended to be, a one-sided argument. The face on the right is quite clearly the one doing the arguing, as he yells, mouth agape, eyes shut with frustration, at the face on the left, who appears calm, yet uncaring, disinterested even, in what the other has to say. The...
