Photojournalistic essay
We both believed that instead of giving material items you should donate your time so we volunteered at LiveWell and The Jeff and Deni Jacobs Child Development Center. Communication and stress would best describe these past four weeks. Interacting and communicating with people gave us a better sense of community. When we are around people we can see the effects of our generosity. At the end we were stressed because it was hard to schedule times to volunteer at organizations. It was fun at first because we wanted to help people, but towards the end we didn’t feel like we were actually being generous. The pressure of our project got to us and made volunteering less enjoyable.

My four weeks
For the past four weeks we've been working on a project for generosity. Kailee and I got partnered up because our beliefs both were the same. So during these four weeks we have been calling organizations and scheduling times to go volunteer there. We have gone to Live Well senior center and jeff and deni child development center. Here is our blog for this project

FEBRUARY 4th 2015 day care
One thing that really struck me is how the little kids at the daycare really knew how to play the game they were playing. For example, I was playing with three little two year old kids out side with the little blue water tub, we had 4 little dinosaurs and 4 little wooden toy cars. Each of us had a dinosaur and a little car. With the dinosaurs we were fighting each other and trying to beat up all the other dinosaurs and I pretended that my dinosaur died and he can't move, that's when the wooden car came in i put the dinosaur on top of the car and drove around crashing in to the dinosaurs. All the little kids copied me it was pretty funny. While i was playing with them i felt my knees kind of wet, so I stood up and looked at my knees and they were all wet, then i went back down on my knees and then i felt a soccer ball hit me on my back. It was Jesus and 2 little kids playing soccer right behind me, they told me to get up and play with them soccer. It was Jesus and a little kid versus me and a little kid. I was amazed how the little kids actually knew how to play the game, my nieces don't know how to they just grab the ball with their hands and throw it at each other, the little two year olds were actually kicking the soccer ball into the goal!!! We played soccer for about 20 minutes and then we heard the teacher say that they had to go inside for lunch. So we went through the class room and grabbed our stuff and went outside to eat by the time we started eating the little kids were already asleep in the class room. We had to leave the daycare and go back to school.

exploring the bay
|
We went to the bay and cleaned up all the trash that the people leave there. While I was cleaning up I picked up a rock to get a plastic bag that was under it. When i picked up the bag, underneath it was a little crab, then i started looking for crabs i found 2 at the end. When they moved around it tickled my hand a lot, the first time they moved i got a little scared that it was gonna pinch me so i dropped them.

night light
This is my Political Cartoon (Rube Goldberg). A Rube Goldberg machine is a machine that does a simple task

First picture: This was after i talked to my buddy and discussed what she liked, what sports,what superhero, what cartoon. She talked about Wonder Woman a lot in our short discussion, so I thought i would make a night light themed of Wonder Woman.
Second picture: After i drew my design on the piece of napkin paper, Darrell told us to make a prototype of the design. I realized that my idea would not work because it was really complicated the way I wanted to make it. third picture: I was still trying to make it work, i was telling my friend how i wanted to make it, they all said, " its not going to work" but i think my prototype was pretty good. fourth picture: I am on Adobe Illustrator making my design that my little buddy wants, You can see the outline of my box in the picture. The reason why its red is because the laser cutter at my school has to be a certain type of color which is called RGB, if its not RGB and we try to cut it out it wont work at all. The wonder woman signs in the box, I got that from google images. Its really easy to make a box you just need a laser cutter. |
