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

This is who I am

The Outdoors They say the outdoors is a certain place that only a few groups of people like. They also say that its like home. You underestimate what you can see outdoors and what there is to discover beyond the trees. Most people don’t understand what it’s like to be far away civilization and what it's like to be separated from everyone. Where the nearest cell signal is 20 or more miles away. Some people don’t get the chance to get beyond the city or travel out to a national park or an area with scenic view. Some people say they can’t afford it but most the time you only need simple items to make it out in the outdoors or wilderness. They say it comes with many dangers that can affect someone permanently as a person or if they are by themselves. Everything you do outside will either come with a consequence or a positive feature. You can only live once and doing somethings outdoors can kill you. They still say that technology is destroying our national parks and destroying ...

Taller Mountains to Climb

Taller Mountains to Climb Made it this far, not knowing what the world could bring. Authors Note: I chose this picture of me in Colorado because I believe that there is a deeper meaning than me just standing on a rock. I think the rock can represent a strong start, but you can see in the background of the picture that there are bigger rocks to climb. I think this can relate to my life because I am about to graduate, which can be compared to the rock I am standing on. On the other hand, I know that there are bigger rocks and a bigger meaning to life than just high school. Although high school is a good start there is always those “bigger rocks” or bigger problems that I must climb over. I decided to use a longer 6-word story because it also explains the type of personality I have. I like things short, sweet, and to the point. Taking the class perspectives has opened my view of the deeper meaning in small things and realizing that our personalities reflect the perspec...

Smile and Pursue happiness, not negativity

Smile and Pursue happiness, not negativity Artist statement I pick this image because this shows my personality and my mood during my everyday life. The image and text work together to show you that I like to be happy and positive and not be negative all the time. The color and brightness work together to represent positivity.  Reflection People don’t think about that they have a bias. They don’t think about that because they don’t react, and they don’t think about what there saying or what they think about a certain person. For example, When I was a kid, I thought people were always respectful and kind to others and I thought that no one had a bias. I thought this because people were always nice when I said hi to them. People always opened the door for me and they always said thank you. Nice but I realized growing up people have a certain bias. For example, in perspectives, the class taught me that everyone has a bias and that everyone’s bias is different from other people a...
