I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.

ContextualizationMy interest for this project sparked with my #1 career choice for my future, a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA). I took the thinking skill, contextualization, and paired it with my passion for the medical field. I took a dive into history as far as the 1800s to create this Apollo project. I incorporated contextualization into Project 1 by taking nursing in the time of World War II and placing it in the context of today to sew a 1860 nursing uniform from scratch, compare and contrast nursing today from nursing in 1860, and conclude how nursing has involved into the profession it has come to be today.

PerspectiveFor my second project, my interest sparked as I was listening to one of my all time favorites "La Vie En Rose" by Louis Armstrong. Why not do a project on one of my life-long passions, jazz. Jazz music has been in my life since I was a child. I grew up accompanied by Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Santo and Johnny, and many more icons of the jazz age. For Project 2, I analyzed the jazz age and it's well-known artists. From this project, I was able to learn about the drastic women liberation of the roaring 20's, how early jazz figures set the stage for jazz artists to come, and created a cloche hat from scratch that a woman would wear in the 20's through my perspective after doing lot's of research and compiling factors down to the colors women wore.

ReasoningIt was devastating to complete the last project of my freshman year in quarantine, but I was able to take this isolation time and rekindle another passion I've had for a while, criminal justice. My interest for this project sparked when I seen Ahmaud Arbery's death on the news. I was not surprised, but disappointed that we lost the life of another innocent African American man in the occasion where the only crime he committed was the color of his skin. There have been way too many occasions where our law enforcement has failed the African American community. I felt that it would be a good decision to do my last project on this topic because it is something that I take very seriously and I am passionate about. For Project 3, I was able to read and annotate Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, analyzed 3 cases and dictated if justice was served, and composed a judge robe that is 1/2 white (symbols innocence) and 1/2 black (symbols guilty) and created symbolic images from the stories I've studied within Project 3.
