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.

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. Every time you do this to yourself you start to get stressed out and wonder all day what you’re going to tell your parents when the attendance office calls them at 6. 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. By the end of the day you’ll realize that yet again you’ve accomplished nothing with your day but the thought of doing it all again tomorrow still is lingering in the b...

Dumb Decisions

Ben Bjornsen Flash Fiction: I am broke, because #race car. Artist Statement: My self-portrait is about my spending all my money on my hobby which is cars. I got into cars from my grandpa when I was a little kid. I didn’t realize how expensive stuff is, so I have no more money. My picture is me on my car in the Kennedy  parking lot looking sad because I spent my money on my car. My car represents where all my money goes. I took it in the Kennedy  parking lot because i don't have a real job that pays well because I go to school. They Say/I Say: People think about bias as an argument   toward  what they believe in even if it doesn't  make sense or is wrong.  Also, some people think they aren’t bias in anyway, but really they are. People will want to be like this because if they are wrong about something, they will do whatever it takes to make you believe their bias not on purpose. But the truth is people do have a bias for something...

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...
