January 17-21,2011

During the week of 17-21 we were assigned a challenging but creative way to make a realistic model of your hand. In those few days we had to construct a model of our hand in various ways may it be using shapes or lines the main goal was to get a hand done.

January 31- February 4, 2011

In this week we had to enlarge our self portarit to a bigger scale streching what we thought we saw to what was actually right there. In this week my whole comfortable mind frame to shattered & pushed to the next level in this self portrait.

This benchmark I would say was difficult. I feel as though it was a lot of time consuming and that it was difficult to go about this project. Finding laws and offices was challenging and sort of annoying. Finding laws and court cases that pertained to me was difficult because I do not have anything that really affects me. I do not have any problem with anything and for like healthcare and college yeah. I got frustrated a lot while doing this benchmark. I did learn the difference between the 3 different branches and interesting laws. If I would do this benchmark differently I would have...I don't know. I would not wish to do this benchmark again. Overall, this was a challenging benchmark and a productive one as well. 

This is the photo that I used for my voice tread. 

For my finale blog post in this series I did not know what to focus on anymore. The Ethical Pathway Act of 2010 that I had been tracking since the start of the project had not budged. The last reported update of it was on September 29th. Since then project I had to relay on getting in contact with people. This has been a very tricky part with contacting people. I knew for sure that besides wanting to get in contact with officials, I really wanted to get in contact with important organizations that could help me.

 As I mentioned before in another post the most important groups I thought of getting in contact with would be PETA and Humane Society. Even the ASPCA I thought could be a good contact in trying to help push out info with this project. Because of another animal rights project I did before PETA’s official twitter had become a follower of mine. I used this as one resource into getting in contact with them. Though I did not get a message in return I tried on there as well as with other contact info I could find. The same went for the ASPCA but with them I also had another advantage. My father had known someone who worked with the ASPCA.  With that he also helped with trying to help me with contact him.

  At times it seemed as if trying to contact and all wouldn’t work out to something. Outside of those people I tried to contact there were other places that were talking about this. It was nice to see that a small amount of blogs did take the time too talk about this as well. It does mean that this bill is being heard and will help it get discussed about. At this point I now I wonder if I should continue this project since it is over and if so how.

When choosing the items to include in my history benchmark this quarter, I thought about what has impacted me throughout the year, I began with the executive branch because my father is a fireman and that has impacted my life greatly. I then moved on to the Legislative branch because there are a lot of laws that affect minors, after that I did the judicial branch because a lot of the court cases have to do with student's

This process was very simple, research and write a paragraph about your research, however it was also very tedious. I did not have trouble with completing the project itself I just had trouble finding time to complete the project, therefore it was not an easy or difficult process, it was in the middle.

As I get older I believe that my life will become more affected by the government because I will have college loans to pay back, and I will have taxes to file when I receive a job, and that is only within the next few years!
