Cooking for my school

This is a blog post for my advisory class. We were charged with creating lunch meals for my entire school. We planned different meals like Lasagna, Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup, Mac and Cheese, and Chicken. We brought in a professional Chef who had tasked us with each with a role for creating the food. personally, I was charged with cutting, spreading, and cleaning. I enjoyed this experience because I was able to learn how to prepare a good healthy meal for me and my peers. Below is me talking about what community is and what it means to me.



What community means to me is when one person is alone, and many people join that one person and for years and years the family grows and it becomes a community. The GCE community is a school that has done many great things for our community. Like, gardening, cooking, cleaning, etc. To some people, a community is just your neighbors or your friends, but it consists of more than that, it consists of strangers, old friends, family, people you talk to but have never met, and people you pass by on the street. A community stands together like a riot that will never back down. It is important to contribute to any community you are a part of because if a community is like a family then each member of the family has certain responsibilities that they need to complete for the family/community to thrive. I live in Woodlawn and I am not always able to do things for my community and when I can work with my peers and prepare lunch for my school I feel like I am really doing something for my community. When we prepared this lunch we were faced with some hardships like not getting the food out on time or the food being undercooked. But, there were a lot of times where we laughed and had lots of fun cooking while not even realizing that the grilled cheese is getting a little too toasty. I would encourage others to also cook for their community because they would be able to have fun and learn how to serve their community and learn how to cook for themselves and others. This was a great experience for me and my peers and I can't wait till the next time I serve.

Cardboard Camera?

 This is an Action Project for my core class Light, Sound, and Time. During this Unit, we learned all about light and how it works. We also learned about how light is a part of the visible spectrum. This is a spectrum that shows the types of waves/rays that are on earth. The visible spectrum is also how we see colors. This has also helped us better understand what light is and how we use it to take pictures. For example, when you take a picture using a camera, light is used to leave a image captured onto a surface. For this project, I was tasked with making a camera from a tissue box. The camera I made is called a Camera Obscura. This camera takes light and through a little hole pastes the image onto a piece of parchment paper inside of the camera. As you can see below, those photos were taken from inside the camera when held up to a light. It also shows what the camera looks like and how it turned how after creating it.

What is a Hysterectomy?

Welcome to my blog. This is an Action Project for my core class Cure. In this unit, we have been at home talking about cells, what they are, and what they are made up of. We have also taken the time to look at different types of surgeries. Also, we had two special FE guests join us through Zoom and teach us about themselves and what they know to help us get a clearer understanding. The two guests who joined us were Dr. Neeraj Jain and Kellee Athens. For this assignment, we were tasked with interviewing someone who has had any surgery performed on them. For the interview, I chose to interview someone about the surgery they had done. The surgery that was performed was a Hysterectomy which is the removal of the uterus. I have put together a slideshow below explaining all of the risk factors, side effects, and much more detail on how the surgery is performed. "No dietary restrictions. I was super groggy and just slept a lot. I was in the hospital for 1 or 2 days. It took me a week to ...

Should I Have the Right to Renovate my Own Building Without a Permit?

 This is an action project or my core class A Nation's Argument. This unit was all about the constitution and its amendments. This led to some interesting conversations about which amendments are important and which aren't as important. For example, the third amendment has been ruled as not important because when would a soldier actually come and sleep in your own house. Another argument was how are these amendments related to the problems in the world today? which problems work against the amendments? In unit 1 we visited 1770 and talked about the thesis that "all men are created equal." In unit 2, we visited 1850 and talked about the antithesis of "all men are created equal." For this action project, I was tasked with finding a rule in the city municipal code that I believe is unjust. I chose the rule of needing a permit to renovate the inside of the building you own.  "A building permit is required for now building construction, renovations, the inst...
