My name is Maria, when I was a child, my parent always encouraged me to pursue what I love and not to back down. This sentence has inspired me for a long time. My childhood dream was to become a famous reporter like Nellie Bly, and I began to put her as my goal. However, when I grew up and left the United States, I discovered everything outside this sheltered environment was nothing like the inside.
Revolución Mexicana
Revolución Mexicana
The Mexican Revolution, from 1910 to 1920, was a pivotal event in shaping the path of modern Mexico. It was a multifaceted struggle, and that was solved to address deep-rooted problems. The revolution resulted in significant reforms, including land redistribution, labor rights, and universal suffrage. Today, Mexico’s progress and greatness can be attributed, to the transformative legacy of the Mexican Revolution. Viva de Revolucion!!!
This is the Mexican Revolution in Plain English. In this video, my group discusses the important events that caused the Revolution. In my opinion, the Mexican Revolution brought significant social and political reforms that transformed the Mexican government’s rotten and disorganized planning, including land redistribution, improved workers’ rights, and increased access to education. It brought the people the changes they really needed

Just Mercy
Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson is a powerful book that dives into the realities of the criminal justice system and the injustices marginalized communities face. Through the perspective of Bryan Stevenson, the author, the book provides a compelling account of his experiences as a lawyer fighting for the rights of those unfairly condemned. It sheds light on the flawed humanity of the system and the struggle for justice in cases where racial bias and socioeconomic disparities play a significant role. Just Mercy not only exposes the harsh realities of wrongful convictions and the death penalty but also highlights the importance of compassion, understanding, and the pursuit of true justice in our society today.
The First Central idea I found was: Wrong Conviction and the Value of Dignity
I pushed myself to make topic connections of how society can make a balance between logical punishment, and the spirit of empathy for marginalized groups.
As I read further, I read many information examples of wrongful convictions that were shown in the series. On page 18, the information addresses the wide issues of unequal racial treatment in front of equalities.
Another piece of information was the imagery words in Just Mercy that pointed out important scenes
Lastly, in Lesson 20 I wrote about how implicit bias is a big factor
last kiss (Andrea
In Ralph Fletcher’s “The Last Kiss,” the author and his parents become emotionally estranged as the age grows. They used to kiss every night, but as the main character grew up and his father stopped kissing him, they became distant. The author feels sad and misses the intimacy he once had. He feels lost and confused When he realizes their once close relationship has changed. My poems show the authors longing for the intimacy and love they once had, and feeling very sad when the author starts to distance themselves. It also shows that growing up can be tough and bring different emotions when relationships change.

2023 Pd4 lamp design
Part 1
I designed the lamp for myself, it helped to solve my lighting at night. Since it’s really hard for me to sleep with, the room is all dark. And thinking of dark, my departure idea was to draw stars and moon on it because it’s the only thing that lights in the dark and my v1 came out
After minor revisions and refinements, I decided to delete the finger design and use wood glue to glue it instead. Because it caused too many times, and it didn’t actually come out well
Part 2
Continuous learning and upskilling are important, especially when it comes to creative pursuits like design. Making mistakes and trying different ideas is an important part of the learning process. By experimenting with different versions of the design, I was able to improve my skills and create a final product that I was happy with. Plus, using the right tools can save a lot of time. Especially the duplication tool, which helps me create multiple copies of the element quickly and efficiently, making it easier to create patterns and designs. By using this tool, I can save time and complete designs more efficiently. Overall, my experience creating star designs shows the importance of creativity and technical skills. By combining these skills and tools, I can create beautiful and unique designs while optimizing my workflow and save time.
part 3
1）What tips, tricks, and advice would you give to the incoming students?
If a process cause you too much time, it means something is definitely is wrong, and you need to think of a back-up plan in order to not waste your time and fall behind
2）What would you, individually, do differently if you could go back and do the class over?
I’ll definitely not be going to waste my time on the fingers again, since I had struggled on it for 3 classes and the result didn’t come well and worse every time. Which come out my the iCloud memory is all occupied and the computer has to be flashed. If I can go back, I will solve the problem straight away
3） What would you (the student) want to be changed about the course, so I (the teacher) can make improvements to the course?
More Feedback/ receiving constructive feedback on students work. Providing actionable and supportive feedback helps students understand how to improve their designs and further develop their skills, so they won’t struggle and fall behind.
