I accomplished this goal by asking students to describe their experience at SLA in just one word. How much of an impact SLA had/has on everyone's life.
Black Lives Matter is an American Movement that feeds on people consisting of the Trayvon Martin, Black Lives Matter is a unique contribution that goes beyond extrajudicial killings of Black people by police and vigilantes. There are many reasons why this organization was made. There are 2.8 million innocent blacks who are in prison today, This in itself is a crime. Black women are being assaulted. Did you know that there are 500,000 blacks in the states who are illegal immigrants? I bet you didn’t know that. These are things that we need to prevent for our society. I am interested in this project because it targets kids my age in today's society and educates them about crimes committed against minorities. Black Lives Matter also encourages us to come up with solutions to make a change and ensure that this violence doesn’t continue."
It is important for Americans to be able to rely and trust authority figures, such as police officers, EMTs, Firefighters, etc. Police brutality is both tragic and real. Take Trayvon Martin and Eric Gardner for example. Both men ended up dead because of then injustice brought upon them b
y the police"
I’m wondering how to prevent domestic violence, to say No more to being assaulted. It’s time that we take a stand and make an improvement. To mine and possibly others, it’s Cruel and it’s Racist. I’m willing to create a survey about our segregation. would be better.
Pollution is a very important worldwide topic, because we are killing ourselves. Third world countries are getting devastated by pollution. Did you know that highway pollution can cause autism in children? Over the years we have been destroying our world. Sooner or later, the full power of the sun will be unleashed, melting our world. There are so many other options for energy that we can use. For example, We can use windmills, solar panels, and even dams. We have hybrids and electric cars and planes! We literally have green fuel. My point is that we have all there great amazing alternate sources of energy.
This has always been an important topic for me, because I have experienced the effects of pollution firsthand. I have been conserving energy for my entire life. I convinced my parents to get cfls and to turn off the lights. I try to use cars as little as possible.The most common form of air pollution is smog. Ever been to Japan? Japan has the highest report of smog in the world. This is caused by overpopulation. Overpopulated cities mean too many vehicles which leads to big time smog. Many people in Japan can be seen wearing masks to protect themselves from pollution this is a problem, but It can be easily solved.
The solution will take time, but it is very possible. We must focus more of our funding to saving this planet. We must slowly begin converting to clean green energy sources, starting with hybrid cars. They are not too expensive and they generate a lot less pollution. The big problem with industrialized countries is that they generate way too much carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Now plants suck up most of our co2, but not all of it. And that extra co2 goes straight into the atmosphere.We must reduce our carbon footprint. It was us who created things like acid rain. Third world countries are being devastated by our air pollution! Once we create it, it can travel in clouds and in wind all the way to places like afghanistan.
Electric cars people! They are not that expensive. Ever heard of the zombie car. Its an electric car that can accelerate faster than a bugatti veyron! My point is electric cars aren’t so bad and we should start using them. Some things I am worrying about is my original research, because I don’t know what kind of results I’ll get. I am thinking about doing field observation or a survey.

I set out to tell the story of how my parents met, but since they don’t live under the same roof it was hard to get them in one room to tell their story. One Sunday evening at my grandma's house I stumbled across my aunt and uncle telling the story of how they met. I asked my aunt if she could start the story over and she happily obliged. We sat in the ,living with my grandma, grandpa, my mom, my cousin, and his girlfriend. I thought it would be interesting to have their commentary as well, so throughout the piece you'll hear some side comments.
I hope the audience gains a little insight on love and how it’s not a streamlined process. It takes time and eventually “Bam” love.
Enjoy!

How did you accomplish this goal?
I accomplished this goal by putting something what I called a collage and talk presentation.
What do you hope your audience gains for viewing/listening your piece?
Growth and change are apart of everyones life.
How did you accomplish this goal?
I told a story of me being able to push through and become successful.
What do you hope your audience gains for viewing/listening your piece?
I hope the audience would gain an understanding of how effort and determination and of course SLA could change a person.
I created a podcast about my own story, my own personal experience.
How did you accomplish this goal?
I had to learn how to open up about this topic and just be able to talk about it.
What do you hope your audience gains for viewing/listening your piece?
To understand that everyone has their own personal struggle. To be understanding and more kind, to be more caring.
Performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) are used by people who want to have a competitive edge. Most of the time these drugs are used by bodybuilders and professional athletes. The satisfaction of becoming a star on a team or representing your country becomes too great and PEDs is what opens the door for these athletes to shine. By taking these drugs you are giving yourself an advantage over players by using a substance that improves your abilities to perform. As good as these drugs sound, there are a lot more bad qualities than there are good.
Most people think that PEDs just consist of steroids but they are wrong. There is a drug by the name of Erythropoietin that increase the count of someones red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body, so if one can increase his/her red blood cell count, there will be more oxygen going through ones muscles. This is just one example and there are many more that are more effective.
http://science.howstuffworks.com/10-performance-enhancing-drugs.htm
The people who use PEDs are putting their bodies at risk for a temporary boost of performance. The effects of these drugs can differ between genders and different drugs have different effects on the body. Anabolic steroids come with severe physical side effects such as acne, high blood pressure, risk of tendinitis, and more. If one consumes Gonadotropin side effects could include joint pain, muscle weakness, diabetes, and fluid retention. Taking these drugs effects someones in a lot more bad ways than good.
This is a very touchy topic to me because me being an athlete, all I want is a fair chance. For someone to cheat and use anything for them to get an unfair edge sickens me. Me personally I will never use any type of unfair advantage to get myself better. I believe the only way you will ever progress is if you show hard work and dedication to whatever you want to get better at, no matter what it is or what level you are on.
Philly School Funding
For my topic, I will be researching and hopefully positively contributing to Philadelphia school funding. I am interested in this because I personally go to a public school in Philadelphia, who is struggling due to the lack of funding in our schools. Currently, according to an article on the Education Week website, the school districts deficit is about 216 million dollars. The school district plans on raising the cities sales tax to cover only half of that.
The states previous governor, Thomas Corbett, caused many problems for schools by giving tax breaks to large companies instead of money towards schools. Our new governor. Our current governor, Tom Wolf has been more compliant in supporting the school system, but the damage has been, and our schools are facing a crisis. Here is a look at where the money in Philadelphia schools is being spent.
Almost no money is being spent on important extra utilities such as safety, food services, and transportation. And, even with 45% of the money going towards instruction, there were still many lay-offs, especially for teachers with positions considered more minor or less necessary.
I am wondering the main ways I can help school funding, because although the problem is a lack of money, my donations would not go very far. I will talk to teachers and students who have experience with this issue to say how they contribute. I will do my best to spread awareness of the topic, however I think most people around me are aware of the problem because it affects them as well. I don’t feel informed enough to design my own plan on how to fund the school system, because I am not sure of a fair way of raising the kind of money needed.
Philadelplhians have a very bad view of public schools. A survey showed that only 18% of people have a positive view of the schools, while most others see it as “poor”. However, studies have shown that over 85% of teachers are competent in their teaching, meaning the problem lies elswhere. America puts more money into their school systems than many other countries whose students excell beyond ours. Therefore, the problem does not reside entirely within the school, but rather the personal lives of the people. Unfortunately, I cannot change everyones lives, and make them richer. So, I will use an interview as a way to come up with ideas of how to
benefit schools.
I wonder if any students in past years have chosen the same topic I am doing. If I find out about someone who did, I wonder what I should ask them so they could help me with my project. As the project goes on, I hope I thoroughly learn all the information I will need for this project about my topic, because it is useful and very relevant information.
