1. Some of my best work from ACLC has been forged from my senior year. For my senior project, I was assigned the duty of school apparel. This meant creating a senior design, choosing colors, organizing orders, and many other things that come with creating clothing. With help from my piers, we have been moving smoothly so far. This is our senior class's rough design. When it is finished, it'll be on peoples shirts, and jackets throughout the school. This is something I am extremely proud of, and excited for.
2. Another piece of work I am proud to share is my movie review of "No Country For Old Men." In my film studies class we were asked to summarize and review a movie of our choice. I chose a movie at random, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I rewatched the film multiple times, and conducted background research on main characters. Although there is only so much you can squeeze into ten minutes. This is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watchv=7J2fX9iDYso&ab_channel=CheapMonday
3. I was never a fan of math class, but our projects were always interesting. The basics of this project was to create a shape of your choice. I chose an anchor. Then to build a 3D cardboard form of your object that is symmetrical. Precision was needed to create the anchor perfectly. After creating your object, you had to take the volume of said object, compare it to your calculations, and present the results. This project was very challenging for me, as I'm terrible at math, and I get frustrated easily. In the end I was successful, and excited that the work payed off. Here is the link for my presentation: https://docs.google.com/a/alamedaclc.org/presentation/d/1pw5CGHd8D5OdAlOCcL0nV9XnRNR_vgvCcG7RIIMxHus/edit?usp=sharing
4. If this was based off of "best work" which it is, than this next project probably doesn't belong on this list. In 2016, my humanities/english class gave us full creative freedom to select any musical artist, take their personality, and create a poem from it. I chose Kanye West. Instead of just turning his personality into a poem, I decided to make a tribute to his past works and songs. I mixed those songs into the poem, replacing certain lyrics with what I thought his personality would say. This is the poem...
I wake up, assessing the damages,
Checking media take out.
I wake up, all veggies no eggs,
I hit the gym, all chest no legs.
Then I make myself a smoothie,
And me and wifey make a movie.
They ask me where my daughter is,
I say North.
They ask me where my son is,
I say at Church.
They ask me where my wife is,
F*** if I know.
All I see is grey.
All I hear is people asking for s***.
But when I look in the mirror,
I see god.
I am a god,
So hurry up with my damn massage.
I am the greatest there ever was or will be.
No discussion bout’ dat.
I wish I wasn’t here right now.
I wish my moms was here right now.
I'm goin’ crazy. And I can tell.
I can't tell if she a gold digger,
Cause she ain't messin’ with no broke n****.
In the night I hear the coldest story ever told.
Million dollar renovations to a happy home.
My wife asks me if I'm doin’ alright….
I tell her I can do this all night.
Kanye this, Kanye that.
Why can't I just eat some ice cream and be left alone!
I feel like my only safe place is at my f*****g home!
