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.

A Letter To the Government

 This is an Action Project for my core class Policy. During this term, we have been looking at policy and how and what it is. We looked at it in the constitution and also in the government today. We took a look at different policies in Chicago and how they would change the world in a good or bad way. We were also visited by a few FE guests who should us a deeper meaning behind policy and how it can help us in the end for this project. We were visited by Arne Duncan, Akio Katano, the CCHR, and Nick Anderson. Keeping in mind the things they taught us about, we were tasked with finding a policy in Chicago (preferably a new one), and then creating a letter addressed to someone who represents me and my city asking them to advocate for this policy. The policy I chose was about the Anjanette Young Ordinance. This led me to research more into this policy and why what the police did was so wrong. Not just because they broke into an innocent civilian's home, but because they did so against t...

Is the Vietnam War a Just Cause for Freedom?

 This is an action project for my core class Policy. This is the last action project for this class for the year. During this unit, we learned about different wars and how they have affected the world. We also took a look at if they are justified or not. We chose between wars fought in the past and decided to research that specific war. We also took a deeper dive into what makes a policy and who makes them. We looked at policies made by congress and some that are made by the president without the advise of congress. For this project I was tasked with researching a war in history and how it affected the US and if it is a justified war or not. The Vietnam War     The Vietnam War is justified by fighting against the spread of communism.  The Vietnam war took place during the midst of the Cold War from 1954 to 1975. The United States didn't join the war until eleven years after the start of the war in 1965. This war was fought in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and South East A...

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...
