PTL We Push All Limits

In the Senior STEAM class called Social Entrepreneurship. we learned about accounting strategies and the different kinds of reports as well as the timing of the release of each report. We also learned about the different ways people use to market their business. We learned about how to find our target audience based on psychographics and demographics meaning the age and sex and race may be what the consumer might like to do as well are questions that would be asked to find the target audience. We learned about the different kinds of incentives that companies use to attract customers to there business as well. We learned about how to sell a product or service to consumers. we learned about management and the different parts of management that make a business. As a class we visited Epic Burger as well, we got to ask them questions about marketing and maybe the expansions of there restaurants to places outside of cook county area. For this action project, we’re supposed to make a business plan and explain the different parts of making a business. This was the hardest action project of the year for me. I didn’t realize how much work it would be until I saw how many pages that I had written. I struggled a lot with the budgeting portion of this project because I didn’t understand the calculations So I asked one of my classmates to help me and she explained how to do them the best should. This project shows how much time and effort it is to become an entrepreneur.

This image at the bottom is my 3-year budget plan.

What Will I Do?

In the Senior Humanities class called Endurance in the last unit, we learned about how to plan for missions  as well as to pursue a vision for the future. We learned about people like Mala and David Blane, and the different hardships that they had to go through as people. David Blane had to learn how to breathe underwater for 17 minutes. He almost died trying to do this. Blane came up with many different things he wanted to use to make it so that he could reach his mission. One idea was to put a tube put it inside himself, and learn to breathe internally. He eventually came up with the idea of using scuba diver techniques so that he can make his breathing last longer. Mala had to endure being shot in the face, and she survived, and regained her health and is known very well known, and has many of her own books. We learned about the different things that people were forced to endure. For this action project, we had to make a survival guide for ourselves and chose what we wanted to be in the future and what goals, and tribulations that we would come upon.

12 Hours Of What?!!!!!

In the senior Humanities class called Endurance, we learned a lot of different things. We learned about how different people experienced mental or physical endurance from David Blane to Laura Dekker a young girl who sailed the world in two years alone by herself. Laura went through many mental and physical endurance on her journey from missing her father and family to her boat being destroyed. She to worry about the different dangers of pirates or the being no wind at all for her to get home or to her destination. Physical endurance meaning to do with the human body and the stress it has to deal with. Mental endurance meaning the stress of the mind and emotions. For this Action Project, we had to create a mission or challenge that we could carry out but we had to do 12 hours of this mission. I chose to do 12 hours of skating because I really want to learn and become the best I can be. This project gave me that chance to learn and do more but at my pace. This helped to explain to me what endurance really means when it comes to something that you really want.

What Keeps Me Going.

In the Senior Humanities class called Endurance, we learned about visions and if they are worth pursuing. We learned about how people talk through their autobiographies. We learned about what we have to endure to we reach our dreams. We learned how to prepare for our journey as adults since my classmates and, I am going to be attending college this year and we will be on our own. We learned about our inner qualities and, how it helps us achieve our goals. We learned about how to plan for our future. This class helped us to grow as individuals we learned what is like to endure tough situations in school and outside of school. In the class endurance, we had a woman come in who used to run marathons. She told us about her training and her trials and tribulations. She told us about her past as runner in high school and how she continued to pursue her passion even when she left. For this Action Project, we wrote an autobiography about our life speaking as ourselves from 40 years in the future. I wrote about myself growing up in Stamford and then moving back to Chicago as the 9-year-old child till I entered college and eventually owned my restaurant chain.

  The Love That Carried Me

                                                   

    Chapter 1: The Spark

                                                

                                                  AL, Food and Childhood (2018)

I was seven years old about to turn eight. My family and I had just moved from Ohio to Stamford, Connecticut. We had been living in Connecticut for a few months now. In Stamford, there is only one, the large mall with a movie theater. So EVERYONE goes to this, mall and I especially loved this mall. I especially loved the large red stairs that were in the middle of the mall. The same place where “Santa” came to visit and see the kids in Stamford. My father came to visit from Chicago and took me to go see a brand new movie called Ratatouille. My dad and I found the best seats far in the back, right in the center. This movie was the beginning to me starting my journey of interest of Culinary Arts.

 Little by little, I began to want to explore food and just making things. When I was 8 used to go to the bathroom and pretend like I was making some exquisite meal. This fantasy “meal” was just toothpaste or anything I could find in my bathroom at the moment. In real life, I would help my grandmother make small parts of dinner for Thanksgiving and Christmas meal. When I was 9 years old we moved back to Chicago because my mother’s sister died. Being a child I never understood why everyone was so sad. That was the first time I saw my brother cry, I told myself that I would make my family happy no matter what format it would be whether it was telling them jokes or making a few meals here and there. I learned to do little meals like spaghetti and chili from my grandmother and mother. The smell of chili powder and black pepper and salt mixed with onions and turkey meat would fill the house and my family and I would come together and sit and talk about our day and laugh at jokes that we told about people. My family became happier I was back in Chicago with all of my family together. 

The summer before my freshman year of high school, I went to a culinary camp, In at Kendall college. In this camp, I experienced many things from how to lead people in the kitchen to just knowing how to clean or prep my station for the meals I was going to cook. We wore a chef’s uniform from head to toe. I learned the basic knife cutting skills. I learned how to make stock from just leftover vegetable scraps. This camp taught me how to make the exact meal that was the name of the movie I saw when I was a young child--Ratatouille. We were taught how to cut vegetables this was a challenge. A lot of chefs have gotten their fingertips cut off from not paying attention to what they are doing. I had to learn to do the right technique and make sure I pay attention. 

Freshman year began and I didn’t know what I wanted to do, I was confused. I started to do things I never did. I would lie to my parents and go out with my friends instead of completing my work . I did this because I had been going through a deep depression that I was unaware of so instead of facing my problems I just went out with friends and did no work. I got to so distracted by my friends that I stopped caring about my grades and my future just so I could please my friends, in the end, I am not even friends with most of the kids I used to hang out with back then.

 I left my school 2 weeks before my 15 birthday. I was home schooled for what felt like a long time. I finally ended up going to a new school where I had to make new friends. This school brought new challenges into my life from dealing with my first love to maybe having senior prom. This school blossomed my love for culinary again after I took a culinary class my junior year of high school, we had a cooking contest we had to make tacos and salsa as well as guacamole. My best friend Ra and my friend Isaiah where in my group we called ourselves RIA. We made our tacos using turkey meat. I seasoned the turkey meat with black pepper and salt and let the spices feel the room with there spicy aroma making my classmates sneeze. and helped them season the guacamole and make the salsa. We ended up winning the contest I felt so proud. 

Junior and senior year had to be the hardest years mentally for me. I realized those years that it was better to keep to myself than risk telling people things that are emotional for me. Junior year was the start of my journey for looking colleges that would best fit me. I dreamed and dreamed of going back to New York to live. I wanted to attend college the only thing stopping me was my family and friends. I am the type of person to put people ahead of me and my needs. I made the decision to stay in Chicago one so that I could be with family and to because I was in love with one of my close friends, even though at the time I never really thought I could be cliche and fall in love. After high school I went to, Robert Morris University one of the top five culinary schools, for the two years of my college life I attended this school. I went to the culinary competitions. I tried my best and I did so many of these competitions. Each time I got better and better at what I was doing until I won the competitions. I made my way up the ladder until I was competing with CIA. The Culinary Institute of America. This college CIA is the most dreamed about school in most chef’s lives everyone wants to go there. I competed with them over and over again until I won. 

My mother was a med student in residency trying to become a doctor with two kids. She is my role model and always will be. She struggled so much and inspired me to never give up she went to class and even had side jobs and still had time to take care of me and my older brother. She worked 12-hour shifts and taught me how to read and write. She struggles with the same things school and her personal life. I couldn’t choose between hanging out with my friends and doing good in school. My mom had to choose between being around all the time and going and getting her job done. She was home when she needed to be and at school when she needed to be. I learned to do the same thing and got further in life. 

Those competitions are the reasons I am where I am now. I am a successful business owner. My restaurant is in more than 40 states and, it’s in parts of the United Kingdom and more. I even make food for the famous rap groups and clothing designers as well. I am married I have two kids and, they are going through the same things as I was back then. I remember those hard times being sad or stressed or really depressed and, I had so many people around me that wanted to help me get through it but I wouldn’t trust them. I became who I am because I worked hard and climbed the later to the top. I have had my hard times with my aunt dying to me moving away from friends and family and even heartbreak. Everyone has will go through those times. In the end, I made the choice to choose the right path and most of my dreams came true. I am soon going to retire and help find new types of fish and coral reefs. I have always loved the water since I was little. One of the only places I am completely comfortable in. I am free to do whatever I want and, I can spend my time and discover new things and make more friends as I go.

Helping The Students Or Torturing The Students

In the Senior STEAM classed called Systems and Models we learned about what psychology and why it matters. We learned about Maslow Hierarchy of needs this theory is made by Abraham Maslow it is a chart of needs that humans need. We talked about the needs of our community and how it connects to Maslow Hierarchy of needs as well. We talked about the Commons and what it is. Commons are a resource or a place of land that is shared by a community as well as affects the community as a whole. We learned about SWOT which means Strenght Weakness Opportunities and Threats. We used SWOT in our action projects to talk about the things that are good and bad about the topics we chose. For this Action Project, we were supposed to take a system in our school and talk about the good and the bad and ways to fix the system. We could choose whatever platform we wanted to use as a way to display our project. I chose to do my Action Project for Lunch study. I chose to choose the format of Prezi. The hardest part of making this project was using Prezi because they changed the format of the way you put your information. I learned eventually how to use the "New" version of Prezi. I had the difficult time trying to embed my Prezi into my blog but I eventually figured out a compromise with my teacher.

Malia Obama Grandaughter Of Former President Obama

In the second unit of the senior Humanities class called Equality. We learned about race, class, and gender. We talked about current events. For example, we talked about the recent school shootings as well as the different issues that we have or don’t have with President Trump. For this action project, we had to write an article and based on a civil rights issue. We also had to make a toy or product that goes with our article. I wrote my article about former president Barack Obama’s granddaughter becoming the president of the United States and fixing the different issues that people face. The product I chose to make was a youth serum that the Malia Obama takes to stay young throughout the years. The hardest part of this project was deciding what topic I wanted to choose and decide how I wanted to write it. Another challenge was trying to make a product that I could make a poster about and feature in my article as well.

The Premiere Of The Black Panther Movie

In the senior Humanities class called Equality, we learned about what equality is. We learned about the history of race and gender. We learned about the different classes that people are labeled according to their income. For example, We learned Upper-upper class, Upper middle class, and Upper lower class. We learned about sexism. We learned about feminism and the different people that call themselves feminist. For our FE, we went to see Black Panther the movie. This was really fun to see the movie it connected to our class. This movie was the first Marvel movie with a cast featuring mostly minorities and it was inspiring to people who are minorities, in telling them that they can also be heroes. This project was difficult because I am a person that can't focus very well, but it made it worth focusing on because this project is about a movie that I love a lot.

Mystic And Beyond

In the STEAM class called Rocket Science, we learned about the Space Race. We learned about how to design and do a mission into space. In this class, we went to the Museum of  Science and Industry. We got to look at the different space ships. We saw the Gemini and Apollo missions and even flying plans and carrying out missions for space on a fun game in the museum. For this Action Project , we were given 1 million dollar budget to make a rocket and launch the rocket. We had mini missions that prepared for the final project in the end. During class, I can never focus on my work because when I go home I can't get it all done for in one sitting. I just found out that if I can be alone in class I can do so much more work. This was a really fun experience and I would do it all over again.

For Kalief

The message of my poem is about Kalief  Browder, and how the justice system and prison system treated him. Kalief Browder was a 16 year old boy that got arrested for a crime he didn’t commit and spent three years prison. He was also beaten and put into solitary confinement for two of the years he was in prison. My poem begins by talking about the promises that the police swear by when they start as policemen. When I state the lines of “deception and protection are different words, brutality and self defense is the game”  In my poem I used the word “slithering” which is onomatopoeia this word is shown in the line “slithering closer and closer to my street are the men in blue. I used this word because it is a way to describe how the police try to sneak to his house to arrest Kalief. I use several similes in my poem for example I compared the way that the police come in his house to they way that the police entered the leader of the black panthers Home Fred Hampton. In the line “Busting down my door like I'm a black panther, Hampton”. I used the device of repetition by repeating the line again throughout my poem. I have metaphors in my poem I compare prison to hell in the line “Entering a place that must be worse than hell". I used imagery throughout my poem in the line “White walls all around me not a gleam of light exists here”. When performing my poem I used diction in certain words as well as pitch when I say the line again I get louder try to emphasize the word as well as when I start the poem. I said red ,white and blue in a soft an clear tone trying to show the importance of the colors. I Make eye contact throughout the poem. While making this poem, I discovered that It was very hard to talk about just one topic since there are so many that I wanted to discuss. I also know that as a person, I don't like to ask for help and me having to ask my teachers for feed back made it really difficult. I also would get confused when asking my two teachers because they each would say different things about the poem in the same line. One would think it was good the other wouldn't. I eventually would just try to please both of them by adding or taking away certain lines of my poem.


Flashes of Red, White and Blue
Their commitment to patriotism
“To serve and protect”
Deception and protection are different words
Brutality and self defense is the game
Power is our gain
Again,

Slithering closer and closer to my street are the men in blue
blue tears down my solitude
Busting down my door like im a black panther, Hampton

Again.
I am now bound to my fate
Silver shackles, shining like the moon a vibrant color of glowing white like it glows in the dark.
The cries of my mother vibrate through my body, not warning of the torture that will soon come.
My is skin deep like the color of coffee, It is deep like the roots of my ancestors that helped to build the world from the ground up.

Dark brown eyes, That entice you.
I have a face that will make you think I can’t hurt a fly
I am Kalief Browder, I am 16 years old.

Again,
I feel the sting of the whip, my goosebumps flinch
Sharp pain, it courses through my body
Making me feel the hard ground even more
battered and defeated
Prom and graduation is a fading dream, colors of blue and red lights

Again,

I plead guilty
Knowing I have no chance, no money for defense.
the cuffs are tight around my wrist
Entering a place that must be worse than hell
The cold metal bars against my skin

You make a decision
Guilty or not guilty
My decision was taken from me
The justice system failed me
The prison system stays the same
Full and accepting more
Justice system stays the same
Slow and never growing



Again,

White walls all around me not a gleam of light exists here
Central park is no longer apart of my memories
“ Protect all and serve all” in my nightmares
3 years of prolonged darkness echoes
Delayed and delayed by the “Justice System”
I received no justice
Justice didn't receive me

Again,

Home doesn’t feel the same when I return
I try to smile and bear it but end up wearing it the pain that won’t go away
One day I just decide to let go, the pain goes away as my name fades away
My mom joins me a year later
Happy to see me again

Sex Is A Forbidden Word

NA,(2017) Pixabay: Sex Offenders 

In the Junior Humanities class, Policy we learned about the Legislative branch and how it works. We studied cases in history and how the legislative branch used there power in the matter. We went to a city council meeting and we saw the mayor Rahm Emmanuel. Even though the meeting didn't talk about the topics we wanted, we got to see how issues are brought up and the system they go through. For this Action Project we had to make a persuasive essay about an issue and a legislator that can address the issue. I choose house representative of the distract I live In which is Barbara Currie. My issue was sex offenders. The most challenge thing that happened was finding an issue that I was passionate about, as well as finding a person that could address the issue. I got through these challengers by looking for bills that weren't passed yet. Finding a person that could actuallyadress the issue my teacher suggested using someone that was in my distract so I chose her.

 "Sex offenders" those words can ruin someones life. Remember how you parents always said not to talk to strangers , Yeah sex offenders are the reason why. I would like to talk about having a Sex Offender Registry Task- Force. Ms.Currie this task force would help the people that live in Illinois keep watch for the Sex Offenders. It allows them to get involved, ask questions and give advice to the task force. Children and adults get assaulted everyday but  "approximately 30% of sexual assault cases are reported to authorities.” according to the National U.S Department Of Justice. This force would make it easier for those who have been assaulted to speak up and talk to the task force.
 
  Children are scared they don't know what to do, some don't even know they are being assaulted. Others are told that it is okay and they don't tell the adult. this is why only“62,939 cases of child sexual abuse were reported in 2012” According to the U.S National Department Of Justice. I can’t even imagine how this number has changed now in 2017. Recently, a teenage girl was by taken by her teacher.  He will be charged with aggravated kidnapping and sexual misconduct with a minor. To put your child in a place where you think they are safe and they get abducted is shocking to anyone. Even where I live there are there 3 sex offenders within a mile of me.

I am a student at GCE Lab School in Chicago. I am writing to you about the sex offender task force. This task force would help the community as a minor growing up in Chicago, I feel like it is so easy for a child to get abducted especially in my neighborhood where everyone knows each other and trusts each other. I think it would benefit the community to have a task force for the residents so they can keep in contact. This task force would help girls and boy all over Illinois and maybe it can spread to other states.This is the bill maybe be passed would help a lot of people. It is called the HB 5572, It is  in the process of being passed it will discussed January 1, 2018 and the materials will be discussed the same day the next year.  But I think there should be more that the Force does, for example like deciding whether or not the case should be passed on to the police. Having a Sex Offender Task- Force can be a bad thing as well people can use the task force as a way to make false reports. Having a false report is bad because people can be put a person into the registry and they didn't even do anything. People can also use this information as a way to ruin the lives of those that are on this registry as well. To stop these problems, I feel like the registry should only be allowed to see the people on the registry.  As far as false reports the task force should be able to look into the case first before it is brought to the police. Far too often the lives of children and adults are ruined by th , sex offenders. This task force would help with these problems and keep the community involved. I do think that this force should be able to investigate the reports.




Thank You I would appreciate your help so much.

Sincerely ,

The Truss 3000

For our first unit of the Junior STEAM class Urban Planning, We learned about different types of bridges like truss bridges, suspension bridges and more. We also learned about the law of sine and cosine and Newton's Law's. We even went downtown to see the different types of bridges. We went to Maggie Daley park and went on the bridge it was my favorite Field Experience. My favorite was learning about triangles and how they are the best thing to build on, because it helped me, my partner LS and I with making our bridge as far as design. I am very proud of how the bridge turned out, it did take a long time to get it to dry. Our bridge was 61.4 grams and handled 41 pounds.

The Motion Behind The Lyons Theatre

For the second unit in the STEAM, elective course Stage Chemistry, we learned about the different motions that stages use. We went to Steppenwolf Theater and we taught more about the different types of ways people. For my second Action Project, I had to use the location from my first Action Project and build a model of my stage to scale. We also had to create two pieces of motion for the play. We had to make safety signs and protocols for both of the points of motion. I made my stage roughly shoebox sized, but I didn't want to make my model too big so I scaled it down. It was hard for me focus on doing this project because, I felt like it was hard to find what objects of motion that I wanted to choose. I am very proud of my model; I put it together with my own hands.

AL,"Lyons Theater over head"(2017)

AL, "Lights GIF"(2017)

My lights would work by flipping in and out. They would be made with steel and are silver, the reason the lights have steel outer plate that is silver is because it would go with the pageant scene in the play. The purpose of these lights is to set the mood for the scene. It can be used for special effects as well. When the lights are not in use they are flipped up so that they are not to be seen. The Lights weigh 5 pound each and there are four of them that is 20 pounds together which is 88.9644N. I need to find out how much weight it would be if the lights were 40 lbs. Too find out how much weight the bar would Work * Force = Distance W=20  *F=40  D = 800J

AL,"Physics"(2017)

For this Action project, I had trouble trying to find and make pieces for my objects of motions because I didn’t know what I wanted to do for them. I couldn’t make a trap door outside so I decided to use the curtains and lights as my objects of motion. As far as making my actual model, it wasn’t hard. I just needed to focus and sit down and do it. I had a hard time cutting kind of, because I don’t realize when the line isn’t straight. I had to make sure to double check the line a couple times before to make sure I got it the way I wanted it to be. We also only had a few box cutters in use for a whole class as well as glue guns to glue the pieces down. Making the measurements for my model was simple as well I just took the, blueprint from my first Action Project, and adjusted it to what fit best for my model. In the end everything turned out fine, I just wish I had more time to work on my model.

The purpose of the curtain is set the mood for the dark scenes of the play, it will be a black curtain to make it seem like the night time. The curtain will be able to go up and down the sides of the stage. The curtain is made of cotton since it’s a thicker material. My lights would work by flipping in and out to light the stage when needed, they would be made by steel and would be silver so they can add color to the stage during the scene of the pageant.




Reflection:

THE BEST REACTION EVER

“OCD is like having a bully stuck inside your head and nobody else can see it.” — Krissy McDermott“

In the second Sophomore STEAM class called Disease. We are in unit II is called mind. In this unit, we learned about the different disorders of the brain for example autism. we even read a book by a thirteen-year-old autistic child named Naoki called the Reason I Jump. In this book, we learned about compassion towards people with mental illness.

We chose a disorder from the DSM-V. I chose obsessive compulsive disorder to study in class so we can get and idea as to how it feels to have each of our disease’s. We also watched videos on our disorders. Afterward we learned about our disease we made a lesson plan and a stimulation to explain what it is like to have the disorder.My stimulation shows an image that represents the obsession. To be obsessed with this image may cause them to clean or to repeat certain behaviors in order to make that obsession go away. For a short period of time while they do that behavior this is called a compulsion.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a disorder where The people with this order is obsessed with something for example in my simulation seeing that picture could be your obsession. If you see this image you have anxiety and to make that go away you have to close the door every day twice in order to make that thought go away for a short period of time. Or Psychiatry. of or relating to a neurosis characterized by persistent intrusion of unwanted thoughts (obsessions) or the performance of actions, as repeated hand-washing, that one is unable to stop (compulsions). I also showed a video of someone with an Obsessive compulsive disorder and they portray the thoughts in their head. here is the link to the video.

Suggestions

My suggestions for people with the obsessive compulsive disorder should go to therapy and see if they can solve the problem by working through your problem. Another suggestion for people that may have the Obsessive compulsive disorder is to go to the doctor and make sure that you have it. My last suggestion is to don’t give up and that there are people like you everywhere and they can help you with things that even your family can’t understand.

Jigsaw's resolution

                                      "Some call this Karma I call it justice"- Jigsaw

In unit 1 second STEM Sophomore class called Forbidden Books. We have finished our first unit called Politics. In this unit, we learned about why books are banned or censored for political reasons. Another example of things we learned was the Socratic method which is to make people think critically. Lastly, we learned about  how to become a Gadfly which is a person that make someone act by criticism. The Socratic Method can also be considered a danger because it can make people think beyond the uniform way of thinking. This Project is of Socratic dialogue on what people think justice is. In this dialogue, I used Jigsaw from the movie series SAW as person that need to think critically about his idea of Justice

The battle with our bodies

“I didn’t even noticed I felt normal until I looked in the mirror and saw a liquid coming out”

- Charles Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)

 Overview 

This is the second Sophomore STEAM class is called Disease. We are in our first unit which is called Body.In disease we discussed cancer. We also learned how to determine what is in blood.Another thing we did was learning to classify diseases and the eleven systems of the body.This action project is about disease. We were told to research a disease that someone we know had and to interview them and how it affected them and what they did to treat it or why they couldn’t treat it. I am proud that of my drawing the most it took me at least an hour to make. I struggle with my grammar in the blog post the most. I made sure to ask my teacher to help and , I made sure read it over.

About
 Charles is a 47 year old man and father of two children. He was previously diagnosed with Pinkeye seven years ago he doesn’t have it anymore. His first symptom was Itchy eyes and later on he saw mucus coming out of his eyes. He had a cough and a runny nose. He didn’t go and get checked until a few weeks later. When he went to the doctor he was asked a few questions like, when did you notice the mucus in your eyes? and he gave him antibiotic eye drops also.
(I interviewed Charles he had Pink eye in 2009 when we were moving. I asked him a few questions about his experience and how he thinks he got the disease)

2.What symptoms did you have?
3.When did you notice the symptoms?
4.What was the the treatment ?
5.How long did you have the disease?

 Classify Conjunctivitis is classified as Transmission, because the way Charles got the disease was by touching the steering of a van. If the disease is transmissible then they can get it by airborne or waterborne or bodily fluids which for example mucus on the steering wheel. 
This disease is multifactorial because, it can happen if Charles went out touched someone with viral conjunctivitis which is very contagious then he would have gotten the virus too.

 Risk factor
- Contact lens (dirt in them)
-Touching an object with the disease on it then touching your eyes.
