Over the weekend i went skiing upstate with my dad and grandma. The skiing was so fun. One of the nights at dinner we had a discussion about MLK and how much he has done for us. i felt inspired for the hard work he did for what he believed in. This taught me that you can really do anything if you put your heart to it. MLK is really someone I look up to for his initiative and perseverance.
Over break I read Little Peach by Peggy Kern. This was about sex trafficking which is my social justice topic. I really really enjoyed reading this and although it was a tough read it was interesting every page. At the end of the book I just wanted to keep reading and reading. I loved the style of writing she used. She decided to every chapter switch between current day and when she was actually being trafficked. Overall I really liked the book.
I really enjoy the social justice project. My group is sex trafficking and we have gone on one fieldwork. We had an interview with Noelle Fries who works at Safe Horizon. We enjoyed talking to her and learning more and more about our topic. Overall I like this project because it is independent, it gives me a chance to be creative, and it let me connects to a personal level. This is by far one of my favorite humanities projects. l

My group and I went on an interview with Noelle Fries who works at Safe Horizon last Friday. We learned a lot more about the basics of Sex trafficking considering we hadn’t really known much about it before. We talked more about labor trafficking too, more than we thought we would because Noelle focused on all types of trafficking. This fieldwork was important because she helped us understand and really get a good start on our project. I wan’t to learn more about races and how different raced are treated differently and how the color of your skin effects how men treat you. We had one question for her about this and got an interesting answer so now I am more interested. I want to talk about empowerment groups during our teach ins because this is something Noelle did a lot of and talked about them and I got really interested in that.
This is my final photo shop project. The goal of this was to take a picture that you have taken and add more to make it more interesting. My original image included the beach, the kid lying in the middle, and the dog. I added Marlo looking and pointing at a shark jumping out of water under skydivers. I also added mine and graces face to a cloud. We had to use 5 elements of design: line, shape, form, color, and value. We had to use these as well.

For discovery day I was in the pie and baking group. It was so much fun. First we watched some baking shows. Then we went to the store and got all the materials we need. Then it started! We started rolling out the dough and than making the filling then putting it in the oven. When we got it out of the oven we decorated the pies. We had some judges, and they voted best pie. We lost but it was still fun! I loved discovery day it was so fun!
