Crossing Boundaries: Teenage Pregnancy and Success

Posted by Crystalle Hutchins in ENG2-011 on
For my English project, I interviewed my grandmother, who had my mother at the age of 16 and came out a successful seamstress and professor. I learned that nothing is impossible with determination, focus, and a positive outlook. Lastly, the priorities you have as a teenager will be insignificant when you are older so you should not make life changing decisions now when you are young and not wise enough to handle the outcome.

Crossing Boundary: Language Amy Chen

Posted by Amy Chen in ENG2-011 on

​ This interview is about my mom and my Aunt when they arrival in America. The first half of the interview is about my mother. She talks about the struggles she have to face when she came to America and how she got to here she is now and how people face her because of her language. I interview my mom in Foochow (A dialogue language). The other half of the interview is about my Aunt. She talks about the struggles she had to face when she arrival in America too. The struggles she had to face, her choices, her mother point of view, etc. Overall, I found this interview interesting.

Favorite Spot: West Philly 


Neighborhood: West Philly 


I am: A poet from West Philly who has figured out the miracle of here. 


My Love Note: 


I have passion for recognizing where the boiling belly full of love is, 

You have the burnt remains of what used to hold everything beautiful,

You've been my cradle since birth, 

Somewhere that I can always call home, 

All space in your boiling belly for a black girl in need of home, 

Always leaving room for me even after all the struggles people stomp into your skin of soot. 

You are very much appreciated here. 

You are beautiful, 

Home too all the hurting brown boys wearing bullet proof skin, 

And the girls who can't find their way out of the maze in those boys minds, 

You've been my mother my entire life, 

Your street lights always my guide back to broken beauty,

You, 

West Philly always has room, 

Even with the over population of poverty, 

I try to save you with poetry, 

There is always room, 

You are nothing but a beautifully broken mother birthing boiling belly flu of love.

Crossing Boundaries Podcast

Posted by Klarissa Hudson in ENG2-012 on
My project is about crossing boundaries. I interviewed my mother on this topic. When we talked it ended up being about how the past affects her, the differences between old school & new school, and the issues of people young and old. It was all about her insight, views, and experiences with things through her own eyes.

Crossing boundaries

Posted by Monisha Das in ENG2-012 on
In Mr.Block's english class, we learned about crossing boundaries. After that we were given an assignment to have a interview with someone about crossing boundaries and then make a podcast. 

I did my podcast on Jessica Regetta, who is a high school academic director at SquashSmarts. I asked her about major event in her life and how her life would be different if those event did not happen.
