Keeping up with my perspective

Kennedy, Kirkwood, Kontroller, K-Nine, Kicking, Kleaning, Krazy, Kan’t keep up


This picture was me trying to put everything I do in one picture. 6 things that i deal with a lot, all listed in my 10 work flash fiction above. Kennedy and kirkwood represented by the two backpacks, as I have a bag for each school. A soccer ball to show what sport I am deeply involved in. A controller in my hand, because I really enjoy playing games to kind of chill and break away from stress. My Texas roadhouse shirt to show here I work and where i am very much involved. Lastly my dog Indy, that i love and always comes to meet me at the door when I come from work or school or wherever. I also have headphones on as a representation of me trying to block out all the noise of all these things demand of me and it can sometimes be to much. As the treadmill represents me having to run  or “keep up” with these 6 things. The thing with starting all the words with k is kind of just random, it started to be more of a consistency to me.

 Most people don't care about other people's perspective and are just worried about themselves. There is the saying “put yourself in someone else's shoes”. But we don’t like that when it’s us that have to change perspectives.
When we watched the “Race” video on YouTube, it showed how your past and your experience can affect your future and make others look at you differently. It can put others ahead of you and make you look like you have gone through more obstacles than others. The activity we did with the ink clots was to show us how we see things and if we changed positions, we may see something else. But it’s not always physically changing positions, it could also be more mentally or emotionally. The privilege test showed me how much of Kennedy is privileged and generally how the class is privileged and what our perspective is. My last example is the paper ball activity. We all stood up, and the expectation was the same for all

of us, make your shot. But it was more difficult for the people farther away because of their perspective. This was my favorite activity because it really made me understand perspective. I really do like the idea of perspective and how you are treated and act at a young age, can change how you see everything later in life. It made me see how privileged I am and gave me more of the ability to put myself in someone else’s shoes.

    I really like the image and the artist's statement a lot, they not only show who you are but what you work for and value. To me, when I first saw the image what I liked is that I felt that the treadmill really tied things together. To me I saw the things you valued and work for and the treadmill as moving forward and taking those values and the hard work with you or at least the lessons you have learned from them with.

    I also enjoyed the paper ball activity because it made me realize that while I was at an advantage, other people weren't and it helped me change my perspective on those types of things.

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.

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...
