I know and understand that what I want to do will not be quick nor will it be easy, but it is something I am passionate about and truly feel I will be able to accomplish. Thank you for your concern, I understand and appreciate it. However, even so I think I will be pushing myself to do both.<br />I want to explore art. Being something that I lack innate talent at, I want to learn it, to grow with it. Being part of the Sacred Sites Quest gave me the opportunity, to truly see the positive effects art can have on culture, people, and communities. I've also always admired and been inspired by the mosaic mural by the science building. It is a symbol of beauty at our school. And I love it. I want to inspire future Chinquapinians, who may not get to know me, the same way that mural has always inspired me.<br />On another note, the book is something that will be very personal to me. I've pondered a lot about the fact that I will be embarking on a very emotionally dangerous journey. I have been able to block out the bad memories of my childhood for most of my life. However, as I get older I have flashbacks of how bad things used to be. And honestly I want to do it for my own peace of mind. Having all those memories bottled in my head is not good. And I need this to help me cope with myself. This is something I'm doing completely for me.Eduardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072139928284750897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380429579170594311.post-1584936935553031472011-08-25T18:30:21.459-07:002011-08-25T18:30:21.459-07:00Eduardo i love the fact that you want to record yo...Eduardo i love the fact that you want to record your thoughts because this will help you see how successful you been getting on your senior year. The book I think will be a challenging part because writing a book just takes a lot of time. I know that a good student and I would recommend for you to plan out, and give yourself some deadlines. I like videos and it will be fun to see some of your videos and successes. I like your ideas because they kind of give an idea of how serious this project really is. Other than writing the book I think you be fine doing your project and it will be great if you get a book done since writing a book is not an easy. I know if you get everything done you will be creating a big impact since your ideas and extremely interesting and big. Good luck and if you have any questions ask me.Bryan22https://www.blogger.com/profile/11566995058875710242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380429579170594311.post-11106623132748666182011-08-10T13:39:33.365-07:002011-08-10T13:39:33.365-07:00Hello Eduardo.
I like the ideas that you have post...Hello Eduardo.<br />I like the ideas that you have posted up and the reasons for them. You want to write a book to give advice to others, and you want to make a mural just for the school. Like Susan said in her comment, these are two big projects that you are planning to complete. A lot of planning goes into both of these ideas, and you still need to find out if these ideas will work out in the long run. It would be terrible if you planned on doing these projects, and they didn’t work out half way through the year. Also, you are going to have a lot on your plate this year with everything that you are involved in and with college applications. I don’t want to sound like a “Negative Nancy”, but my recommendation for you is to pick one of these ideas and fully develop it, and make sure you’ve worked out every detail. <br /><br />Remember that I am here as a classmate and a friend to help you out with any problems you might encounter.Richard_17noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380429579170594311.post-90144110104222707212011-07-07T19:09:04.360-07:002011-07-07T19:09:04.360-07:00Thanks for being the first to post, Eduardo, Let&#...Thanks for being the first to post, Eduardo, Let's try to light a fire under the rest of the seniors and get them online too!<br /><br />You have two big ideas here. Take some time to flesh out both. Why a mural? Why a book? What is it that you want to express? <br /><br />My initial response is to caution you not to rush this. Take the time to make it right.<br /><br />Is this picture from the Sacred Sites Quest? Explain and link?<br /><br />How does your thinking about your project relate to your reading of Drive by Daniel Pink? Who did you talk to, and how did this affect your planning?<br /><br />I am happy to know you are charged up about the project. Let's take some time to nail it down.Susan Lucille Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177617013935970644noreply@blogger.com
