Aaron Tang's Capstone
The purpose of this capstone was to improve on my photography skills by taking pictures of students at Science Leadership Academy. Since the school does not have any memories of students, I did a handful of photo shoots. A small section of the wall has pictures of scenarios which are located by the door on the far right. After each session of taking pictures of my clients, I learned how to use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 for enhancing the quality of each of the photos I selected. Students that signed up for my photography project, each of them were asked to print their pictures.
The past few months was hectic because I was in a tight budget; I decided to collaborate with a senior, My Truong, so we could work together. We decided to fundraise. The process in creating an art gallery was a lot of work for one person so we combined our work to have a master piece. At the end, we had enough money to buy our supplies; frames, strings, paint, printed pictures and many more. We wanted to be more creative. We decided to have a string on top of the ceiling to hang frames and pictures. We noticed that we can transform part of the school into a place where visitors, students, families of SLA and teachers to look at the diversity of SLA, therefore people can have their own interpretation of the photos. Luckily, we have an amazing photographer that does portraits and we printed some of her portraits she took. We credited to the students that volunteered our station and it is located on the black ribbon.
After graduating this school, I really want the future graduates to add more pictures. My capstone is a first step to show new photographers to display their work in a meaningful and creative way.
Here are the pictures from before and after.
Q2 FOOD PROJECT
Aaron Tang
For 4-5 people. For more people, double the ingredients.
Ingredients:
-1 table spoon of salt
-2 eggs
-3 cups of rice
- 2/4 vegetable oil
- 2/3 soy sauce
- shredded chicken, beef or pork
- water
- 2 cilantro
Process:
1). Pour rice on a rice cooker and make sure it is flat. (If you do not have a rice cooker, then use a pot).
2). Put water in the ricer cooker (fill water about 2 cm above the rice).
3). Wait about 15 minutes until the rice is fully cook (If using pot, stir it frequently).
4). Cut the 2 cilantros into tiny pieces
5). Pour vegetable oil to the pan (make sure the oil is evenly spread) and wait for a minute to heat up the oil.
6). Put the meat in the pan (If you're a vegetarian, you can skip step 5 and 6).
7). Stir for 2 minutes
8). Put all the rice onto the pan along with the salt
9). Gradually stir for 5 minutes
10). Eggs on the pan while stir it around
11). Pour the soy sauce, add cilantros and stir, so all the rice can be golden brown.
12). Enjoy your Fried Rice!
Analysis:
I feel like this particular food is a lot healthier than deep fried food because the food contains a lot of proteins and carbs. Since fried rice is an asian culture, people have different styles to make it. You can either add spice or adding any type of meat. Besides soy sauce, oil and white rice are processed, this type of food has couple natural ingredients. Fried rice is very easy to make, and any one can make this at home. If you are a vegetarian, you can simply still make this dish. Either way, our body needs salt, oil, carbs and proteins. If you eat this everyday, try to not eat a lot of carbs because eating a lot of carbs. Carbs will actually make you become obese since you are not going to eat other stuff from the food pyramid. To make it healthier, you can try it with brown rice! Brown rice will make the body resist on this.
Fried rice originated from Asia and most countries in Asia have a unique style of making their own fried rice. Generally you will need rice, and eggs to have fried rice. Rice is the base food from Asia. Rice can be grown all year round as long it has a wetland and people will have to pick the rice. once it is pollinate. Immigrants came to America and started to embrace their culture by making this type of food.
It is always cheap to cook at home. Generally the ingredients cost about $5 or less and when you go outside to buy it from a restaurant, it will cost about $10. Fast food will always be cheaper and it depends what you get. Since fast food places do have meals that include with a drink, some people would prefer the unhealthy food than fried rice. Fast food joints tend to be everywhere than healthier food, so people would drive there. Chinese Restaurants will always have fried rice and if people want Chinese food, just go there and order it or go home to cook the food.
In Asia, people will like to add anything to their fried rice. There are so many different styles and different families make it differently. Rice can be process differently because at the super market there are many different colors. Rice is have different forms and sizes which makes it harder for buyers to really know what type of rice they can use to make fried rice. It is personal reference what rice you like to eat. Meat can range from couple companies in the United States. Each company process their meat differently, and it depends what kind of food the animals eat.

Ellos van a tener una programa por tres mil las personas pobreza. Nacional de infraestructura para mejorar carreteras, autopistas, hospitales y escuelas. Ellos piensan el dinero ayuda la comunidad.
Yo pienso todo es caro porque el gobierno quiere más dinero por guerra y armas. A veces, ellos no promesa que ellos dicen. Quien la gasolina costaba más, la comida y la ropa va a costar más. Las personas trabajan y que no se hacen pagados mucho. También educación va a costar más y para las décadas pasadas, los personas son pobres. Hay mucho pobreza. En Estados Unidos, la gasolina es muy es caro y el dinero va a la guerra. Un poco de dinero va a escuela, pero la educación es horrible en la ciudad. En Filadelfia, hay treinta y dos estudiantes son en un clase. Yo no puedo aprender.

When you open to the doors, what do you see? In that case, it seems like everyone thinks differently because the uniqueness sparks their light bulb in their mind. I personally admire this quote; “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning” Albert Einstein. The key is to think deeper on your explanations. This year had been a roller coaster when we all started on the first day of school, when I stepped into English class. I saw bright new faces around me and I knew the level I am standing is different. The bigger picture is when we analyzed art and talked about modern day history. At first, I didn't know why we were studying art, but as of now art has a powerful message and I thought World History is about famous people. There are couple meaningful to address; languages is a common barrier to relationships, things that make you different also makes you unique, and different things represent power in different cultures/civilizations. These aspects will show how they are related in both subjects.
One of the journal entries #15 from English is a powerful piece that shows my accomplishments. It shows my ambitious of who I am. The journal entry also relates to a book we’ve read in the beginning of the year. People have their own dreams and hope and they will find a way to achieve it. The journal entry shows how I am my own person and in the book, Janie fight her ways of becoming a stronger woman. I learned that in journal entries, I have to use my critical thinking and my imagination.
History journal #8, talks about religion in past that spreads around the world. “Religion is the sign of the oppressed creature, the sentiment of a heartless world, and the sould of soul- less conditions. It is the opium of the people”- Karl Max . I believe there are many things to learn about religion because everyone was born with different cultures and religions. Sometimes when people worship different religions, people can’t have a relationship with them because they aren’t the same. Religion affects the history because they segregated the people to not socialize, but to hate each other. The unit religion, I have been studying many countries and learn about religion. I am open minded to all religion because they have a special meaning that does different things. The journals help me learned about other people who talked in the group discussions. Sometimes, I would talk because there aren’t any wrong answers.
In English class, we have to write an essay about how languages influence the people around the whole world and me. I wrote about my family who spoke Cantonese when I was born and how English had impacted my life at school. I had trouble writing and talking in English, but as of today, I expanded my knowledge of writing and speaking. Learning different languages makes everyone a lot easier because I can understand three different languages; Cantonese, English, and Spanish. It shows that I want to have conversations with speaking different dialect. On top of it, I created a video about my family who struggles speaking in English. I get to talk to my parents about their lives and I think about how I impacted to the community. This unit is powerful when everyone should respect how they speak
One of my benchmark in English class is a podcast about my cousin. The topic was crossing boundaries to learn about the struggles in their lifetime. I learned that my cousin’s childhood was a lot different than mine because she would have to fit in when she moved to Philadelphia. Even though we were born and raised in California and moved to Philadelphia in our childhood, the environment is different. As of today, she loves Philadelphia more than California because she thought about the living expenses and how the city is more historical. I can also relate to my cousin because we are the oldest kids in the family and we would have to do everything when the parents always depend on us. I learned that growing up is hard, but it can be a life lesson in the future.
A project I have been studying is about religion. I created a blog on wiki spaces and researched about the history of religion. Even though people believe in different God, and I learned that there are different symbols that brings people together because they need something to praise for. This project shows the relationship between the societies on how it is important to them. Religion is very powerful to everyone because the cultures and traditions are different; therefore religion is a unique topic to learn about. I am aware of how people think about other people as of today. People should accept who they are and I think religion just bring people together to have sets of beliefs.
Lastly, my first benchmark in history class, I wrote monologues
about Pipelines
that the United States planned to build it in the south. I wrote about how it
will affect everyone in the society when families will have to leave. The tar
can also impact the environment a lot worst. This was one of my favorite projects
because I learned about the current history that may affect my future. I also
watched videos about the Pipelines and read several articles.
Everything I learned from both classes isn’t about just reading,
there are opportunities to engage the learning spaces such as writing,
activities, watching videos and going on field trips. I want to show how much I
have learned. I learned by having group discussions, working together as a team
for projects and sometimes working independent. Having Mr. Block as a teacher
for two subjects of challenging my own actions. As a new stage, walking to 11th
grade, I will always remember the critical thinking and how people should back
up with their opinions.

Quotes about religion
Respond to one (agree, disagree, connections)
Religion is the sign of the oppressed creature, the sentiment of a heartless world, and the sould of soul- less conditions. It is the opium of the people- Karl Max. 1884
I agree with this because back then, a lot of people feel the negative passion of endanger of the other society when they have different religion. No one cares about the other group of people. They think about themselves and the world is segregated because people believe in different things. I believe that everyone has a leader; therefore it brings people together. For example, famous people will tell the people in the society not to do non violence because its a better reputations of not doing any sinful things. I think there is one God, but people see it with different types of God when there are more than one religion.
It causes violences because there ar war happening. Religion have different myths where people do different things.

In your life, what are the compromises you are willing to make? What are the dreams or beliefs that you will never give up?
My compromises are taking risk by challenging myself and helping people who need help. I care for my friends so they can have a better life. I think about my life, but I also want to help my friends. I would also try to chamllenge my education by working on my homework and organize my work for different subjects. I am willing to move on from the past because everytime when I think about my problems, I always stress about it. My dream is to have a better life so I can have a occupation to help my family. i want my self to succeed in college and never give up. I can see that I will stress out, but its worth it.

Language AutoBiography 2013: Language Reflects Who I am
Throughout the past couple weeks in English class, we learned about languages that were spoken in different parts of the countries. We watched a video of people talking in at United States and we read four stories about the languages that affected them in their lives because of who they are. We wrote some short scenes of how languages had changed myself when people judge the way I talk to people. The next building block was writing an autobiographical paper that connects to life. We also had to pick a quote from one of the four stories we’ve read and connect them to our personal life. My story is about how languages influence my self and my family at home versus outside. I wrote how languages are very important to the family even though we live in a society where people judge the way we talk.
There are so many different issues with my languages spoken at home and how I speak outside changes who I am because I will need to speak formally towards the older ones. At home, I don’t really care of how I talk towards my family members. If I speak rudely, people will think about my personality. It shows that my mom does not appreciate the way I always neglect speaking in Chinese, and it interferes with our communication when I don’t know a lot of words. I speak two languages; Cantonese and English. There has been numerous times when my mom speaks poor English. I have my own standard language when I may have an accent in Cantonese. I knew what I can say, but the pronunciations were horrible. This mainly affects me because of the languages I speak with my friends versus the dialects spoken with my family members inside that closed doors of my house. At home my family members often tend to correct my Chinese, but when they speak in english its my turn. Many times my sister and I will correct them and it help them have a better understanding with English.
Most of the time, I switch dialogues with my family members, and I end up merging the two languages together into a different language that ends up a blend of both English and Cantonese. An example of this type of situation would be when, one day I was walking down the street with my friends, while my phone vibrated. It was my mom. I picked up the phone and I heard her say “Where is you.” I know how to say that in Cantonese “nay hay bien dou? I ignored her mistake because I knew what she was talking about.“ I’m with my friends....” I switched my language to cantonese so she can understand, “no toun pién yûo hay Movie Theater.” I dislike the feeling of switching back and forth because the languages, makes it harder for me to expand the knowledge of speaking both. Then my mom says “Me pick you up? I meet you at daycare with brother and sister.” I quickly responded, “please talk better in English and I will meet you there in 15 minutes.”
I realized that I was a little harsh my with mother because she tried her best speaking with English to my siblings and myself. My mother didn’t go to college in America nor her hometown. My mother didn’t have enough money for her education and she tries to speak with us more where I respected her knowledge of knowing some english. I was happy for her, but she felt she needed to step up her game of learning more English. I also struggled with English when writing and talking to my friends. Its stereotypical thing when people say asians suck at grammar mistakes. I strongly agree with this and sometimes I don’t because people can work their way on improving. For example I don’t know when to use “has” or “have” in correct terms. Thus, the only solutions for myself is to try to talk often in English and ask people to politely correct my grammar. I pushed myself to my limits where I need to figure out improving with our grammar mistakes in my family. The only ways we can improve is having a conversation with each other, or start reading more novels to pick the English. Cantonese is more complex; there’s pin yin and chinese characters. There are tones on top of the pin yins and the words will mean differently. Thus, I may be losing the knowledge of speaking Cantonese slowly. I asked my mom if she wanted to improve on English. She said yes because it will be better to have a conversation with my two younger siblings, whom unfortunately for them never learned to speak chinese. I realized that my mom never took time for her own education because she was always occupied taking care of us, but still, she was willing to learn. It took me couple days for myself to think about my ethnicity. For most Asians, they are passionate about achieving their expectations and they have to face a lot of expectations.
An example from a text that best coincides with my experiences is the article from “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan she said “It has become our language of intimacy, a different sort of English that relates to family talk , the language I grew up with” (Page 1). This quote reflects my family and myself when I am influenced by them. As I grew older, I noticed that learning different languages are very important when speaking among the group of people. I may fluster with some words that I am unfamiliar with. Incorporating with the languages shows that I want to learn the languages and the culture of their identity. I realized that people adapt to how they talk where languages came from different parts of the area. I believe there’re no one right language. The languages evolve each generations; like the people from the past who talk in Cantonese are more traditional compare to the 21st century.
We are struggling with the grammatical structures of speaking and writing. I listened to my parents English and its wrong most of the time. All I need to do is work harder towards my English by getting help from my friends. Society shows that there are some circumstances between English because people tend to pronounce the words differently. Different parts of the area will be a whole new world because of the strong accent or the background of the person. My parents were not from here and they had to adapt to the society of the language they speak. Now my siblings and I will need to balance the two languages we spoke because of the cultural language is an unique ideal to have its own meaning.There for, Cantonese has been passed down by each generation where the language is a secret value to my family lives. When the language dies off, our generations will forget the language, we speak today in our family.

The Pipeline Monologue Project
The project is about Keystone Pipeline company are trying to build pipeline, so people can start using the fossil fuel as a new technology. Keystone Pipeline will start from Canada to the middle coast of United States, straight down to Texas. There are a lot of consequences between the people living the middle coast and the company. However, the senators, presidents are debating whether to build it or not. They said, it will create more jobs and making the economy grow. Over the past few weeks, I researched all these information about the cons and pros. The purpose of this project is to write three monologues from different points of prospective. I also learned all these new information how it affects us today and the future. People are fighting for their lives to end the Keystone pipeline and willing to take a stand.
Monologue 1: Hungry for money.
( Mr. Adam is at Houston Texas in the forest building the pipelines with his constructors. He has a shovel and special tools around his waist, working his way down south to build the pipeline).
(Talking to his friend)
(Low voice)
(Looks over at Matt, disappointing)
(Shoveling while listening to Matt)
(Happy voice)
(Look at Matthew talking and gets irritated)
(Pause and listen to his friend).
God bless us.
( Mr. Adam is at Houston Texas in the forest building the pipelines with his constructors. He has a shovel and special tools around his waist, working his way down south to build the pipeline).
(Talking to his friend)
I can’t believe this! Am I living right now? It’s been a long day. Pipeline here we go. Special benefits for the nation to have a better economy. I am thrilled of having this job, Matthew. How to put this in words. I need to money for my future and my family. I have a wife that live with me. We’re living in a small place where we can’t barely pay off....
(Low voice)
Yeah, we’re poor. Matthew, having this job is an opportunity of getting a 2nd chance. Life is tough out there, not a lot of jobs out there. Pipeline offer thousands of jobs for people like us to get money! You know. I’m digging it.
(Looks over at Matt, disappointing)
What’s wrong? (Making a grin face) Brighten your face a bit! You’re totally wrong with that. You said it will destroy our economy? What the hell, the keystone have so many benefits for everyone. I believe we made an awesome decisions to build out future technology. For one thing, the tar sand will sure give us gas since we are in a low economy. Look the economy rise when gas cost $4 per gallon! (Expression more happy). Ain’t that awesome for everyone! Yay! Look on the bright side, we will get cheaper gas when pipelines are there! My poppa, my mama, my sis and my bro need everything cheap. I mean cheap stuff that we can afford!
(Shoveling while listening to Matt)
Did I just hear about the great plains should be kept? Haha, you’re funny. Ain’t nobody cares about mother nature. I don’t care. Like c’mon, carbon will go up in the air, no matter how we change it or not. The atmosphere will be ka’boom. The end.
(Happy voice)
We need our industry to boost up for god sake! People care about the economics where the stocks can be cheap and proficient. Pipeline will be guarantee that we will watch it 24/7. If there are any damages, evacuation will be there immediately fixing it. Wahh lah. Brand new! I’m giving my best shots on having this industry. You feel me?
(Look at Matthew talking and gets irritated)
Why the serious face Matthew? Oh, you said you don’t like the KeyStone, then are you working for them? You should just leave! (Loud and mad). I don’t know why you are against it. As long as I my money, I’m fine. You can’t lie about that. Our nation don’t have to depend on other countries because it will make our nation more secure, by providing new job opportunities!
(Pause and listen to his friend).
No, I don’t give a crap about the middle coast. They can survive with the pipeline in the middle of nowhere! Trust me! They have legs and arms to travel and move somewhere else. If they protest, they can go to prison. Simple as that. (Pause and listen to his friend again. Then gets really mad) Don’t ever talk about bad things about Keystone Pipeline! Just give me the damn nails so I can finish my work.
(Looking at the sky).God bless us.
Monologue 2: Discover research plans.
(In the science lab collecting data with all these chemicals surrounding him).
(Yelling)
(Voice became even more dramatic)
(Looking at him. Impatient to talk to his friend).
(Getting frustrated)
(Being disappointing)
Mother nature will be in danger when the plant kingdom will die slowly. Organisms will have less oxygen to breathe, and more C02 will be increasing. The cycle will die off if oxygen will be less because C02 will be trap in the atmosphere! I don’t like this at all! Since so many humans overpopulate and other living organisms living in the world, we will have trouble getting oxygen. Also, organisms will have to travel and find new homes, while humans are destroying the land just for future technology. We’re doomed!
(A long pause looking at the reports. Then being all excited).
We’re scientists! We have our hopes to fix the problem! We have all these informations to prove our points! We will persuade the government and the president about the cons for our safety. We can’t just sit here and let the pipelines destroy the economy! (Raise the first into the air). All for one and one for all! Now let’s get over to the room for our meeting about this problem. Hurry!
(In the science lab collecting data with all these chemicals surrounding him).
(Yelling)
Come over here Pablo! Bad news. You need to come here very quick. Hurry. I found something interesting with the data. (softer voice and talking excitedly) Okay, the percentage dramatically change for the past years, even decades! No no no.
(Voice became even more dramatic)
The world’s energy had gone from 27% and the C02 rose to 27.5% for the last decade! When the tar sand is finish, we will be doomed. Organisms will die. Glaciers will melt. Water will rise. Extinction. End of the world. Anyways, what information did you find?
(Looking at him. Impatient to talk to his friend).
You’re right! The H20 supplies will be short. The water sources in the middle coast will be destroy because the process of the tar sands will use the H20. H20 is very important! I can’t let this happen. The tar sands contain clay, bituminous and sands. The process of cleaning H20 will take forever to purify water because particles in the tar is a lot dirtier. 400 million gallons of water per day are going to be wasted! Hundreds of families or more can use it for other useful stuff. It sucks because I will not get clean H20 for my system. This will affect so many people!
(Getting frustrated)
There has to be a stop. Somehow and fast! Like, we can start a broadcast or an announcement for people to help the environment!
(Being disappointing)
Mother nature will be in danger when the plant kingdom will die slowly. Organisms will have less oxygen to breathe, and more C02 will be increasing.

Monologue #3: A voice to be heard!
(In Glasgow Montana at the middle of street in Tocar Avenue with group of people protesting and news reporter are recording).
STOP THE PIPELINE! STOP THE PIPELINE! We want to end this right now!
(A woman that is even louder).
(Using the megaphone, clearing the throat by coughing).
(Pain in her voice).
(Points out at the forest ahead of her)
(Stronger voice).
(In Glasgow Montana at the middle of street in Tocar Avenue with group of people protesting and news reporter are recording).
STOP THE PIPELINE! STOP THE PIPELINE! We want to end this right now!
(A woman that is even louder).
We want a better future for our families and other people. Fight for your beliefs everyone! There has to be an end to the disaster of tar sand. Trees are falling down every seconds, where tar sand is destroying our land! Our desires is to have a better environment.
(Using the megaphone, clearing the throat by coughing).
Attention everyone! I have a confession to make. You know why we are here today. (People are rowdy). Calm down everyone, we are here as a whole. Not pieces of jigsaw puzzle fighting alone.
(Pain in her voice).
I want to say that I have 2 younger children. I don’t want them to suffer the pain of smelling the disgusting air. Having my kids drinking the nasty water are poisonous! Does anyone want their children to drink that water so they will get sick and die? NO!! Water supplies are already low and we shouldn’t destroy it even more. They said the tar sand oil is a lot cheaper. (Intense) Bull crap! The industry will increase such as water. No one will survive in this severe problem and we can’t lose our future!
(Points out at the forest ahead of her)
You see this? We need it. Each one of them are put down because of us. What happens if they are all gone? We’re doomed. Yeah, Jobs. They have one weapon—money. They’ve used it to buy the allegiance of many Representatives and Senators and now they’ll use Congress to try and get their dirty work done. That’s not how things work.
I am living here, while I can see the pipelines behind my back yard? I don’t want to wake up in the middle of night when pipelines are pumping every seconds. Hahaha, it’s funny right? I don’t think so. How bad can it get? A Lot. I mean pipelines is the stupid thing that is invented in our history. Like, do we have an agreement with our society? America can do better than this!
(Stronger voice).
I’m willing to take a stand for my people. I don’t care if i get arrested because I didn’t commit a crime. (moment of silence for couple of seconds). Whoever is out there, please help us. We need each of everyone to stand up because it’s our social economy. Together, we will destroy the KeyStone Pipeline, and we will fight till the end!
I may be dumb but, I know my facts. ( Puts the megaphone down and walk away).Appendix

Descriptive Essay; The Matter of Truth
I thought about this for many times about what I can improve on my problems but, it had swollen me instantly. I tried to act like nothing has happened to me so no one can bug me. Day after day, there has to be a misfortune of moments when there’s a lot of tossing and fussing. I never thought I could be so disturbed with so many things going on. I should have known better than this; it builds up more and more where I became outraged. Being the oldest child can be difficult because I have to work my ways up as being a brother to support my family. So here it begins.
The air in the car was cold, where the air conditioner blasted on high. I felt squished because boxes and groceries were cramming on my foot. I wasn’t really bothered by it so I put my right arm on the seat rester and supported my head so I can close my eyes. We had a long day after working. Everything became blank when I didn’t care about anything. I just wanted to go home, getting some rest.
In the matter of seconds, my phone vibrated inside my front pocket, on the left. I took my phone, shaking. I told them it was my father and everyone was quiet while the music was turned off. My dad said, “I couldn’t buy the house because we don’t have that much money.” It was an outrage, I yelled at my dad about not keeping his words. My eyes were red and it was watering, where it felt like it was going to explode. I was yelling at him, while tears was dripping down my face. I raised my arms hitting the passenger seats, kicking the chair when my voice was furious. He kept on giving excuses so I hung up on him.
That moment I went out of control. I didn’t know what was happening because it physically just happen and I was in depression mode. Everyone in the car was just in shock because it was a long time since I did something like that. I couldn’t believe I did this horrible things in front of everyone, but at the same time I felt delighted when I yelled at my dad because he deserves it. I didn’t really bother my dad when he always talk so convincing, which he sometimes does and I need to step up on pressuring his guilt.
The long afternoon had finally dragged on, it was a sticky humid summer day blazing above the sky. I was in the van, while my mom was driving, my cousin in the passenger seat with my siblings in the back. I was also in the back of the car next to my youngest sister while spacing out through the windows. I didn’t know where we were going so I looked through the blind shades. Then I turned and looked away trying to listen the soft radio music. My cousin and my mom was talking and my siblings were playing.
I was in the car for eight minutes, still wondering about moving. I remember months ago, when my father bragged to my mom’s friends, about how he treated his family well. He said “I came here to search for a house for my family.” We’ve been keeping his words for couple months by now. Time continued to jump forward and still there were no answers. The disappointment on my face grew darker. I still had hope in him because he is my father and we forgive him eventually. Then the memories cut into the reality.The air in the car was cold, where the air conditioner blasted on high. I felt squished because boxes and groceries were cramming on my foot. I wasn’t really bothered by it so I put my right arm on the seat rester and supported my head so I can close my eyes. We had a long day after working. Everything became blank when I didn’t care about anything. I just wanted to go home, getting some rest.

I didn’t really bother my dad when he always talk so convincing, which he sometimes does and I need to step up on pressuring his guilt.
All this time I kept my hopes up for nothing where he brags about the wonderful things for my siblings and I. Inside of me, I was hurt. It was pain. My chest turned upside down. I thought I could believe him, but I couldn’t trust him again. The car became dull as the night sky. No one talked nor make a creek sound. I just stared through the windows, when my mind was completely emptied, trying to keep my temper low.
The relationship between my family members became worst because no one kept their words. I was acting foolish earlier but, I couldn’t keep the pain inside me. It changed me after what just happened. Sometimes people convince me with their words and I would easily fall for them. I don’t know who I can trust. There are times when I needed someone to talk to. I would just talk to my cousins and sometimes I feel better. Why can’t I have a better life? I can’t have a perfect life because there are ups and downs when there are full of lies happening. I just needed to be wiser so no one can hurt my feelings again. Since I am becoming more older, I learned to be more wiser. I will continue on the path in listening to their words and think about how I can trust their words . I will never fall into the traps again when I learned my lessons.Intimidator Difficulty Part 3 Post for Change
My first two blogs talked about the subject of bullying. If you forget or don’t know my name, I am Aaron Tang. The 1st blog consists of details about my issue, and my 2nd is about opinions. The first blog explained different types of bullying. Also the second blog shows charts on how many people are being affected, and my respond to the crucial bully. Since this is a long journey of my project, there will be some changes. You don’t know why I posted this blog, but I will explain the post change. Another piece of the blog is to raise awareness about my issue. There will be a lot of websites where you can make a big difference! Not but not least, I will create a positive change by creating a video for people to see. Where ever you are, please sit back and enjoy reading the last blog of mine!
After collecting all of my research from the google doc form, many people filled the survey. Not too long ago, I have posted a survey on facebook and twitter for my followers and friends to answer the questions about their opinions and thoughts on bullying. I am satisfied of how many people had submitted their own thoughts. Many people had said bullying is a crucial weapon towards other people because it can hurt people’s feeling. Some people have said that bullying occurs around school. Practically, all of people who filled out the survey were teenagers. Most of them said if they see bullying occurring in the school or any place, they will report to an adult. If you still haven’t completed the survey, feel free to submit one.
There’s always a solution beside hurting each other. Children should be the role model because it shows that they are the better person who stands up for someone, or friend.
It’s time for my post of change. The bottom of this article will be a video about how I can get many views to stop bullying. In the video clip, I had grabbed some volunteers to hold the paper about words that describe the victims and ways to help my community a better society. In the video, it shows how many people are willing to help the problem. I can’t thank so many people who had help me. I have also posted the video on facebook for my friends and they had shared it to other friends to spread the word. Also, I grabbed some quotes from celebrities who had been bullied before and how celebrities may change people’s prospective without commiting suicide, or harming their self or other people.
The website is for somebody who may be in trouble of being the victim.

Here is a website for donating money. The money is towards for programs to make an awareness. The website also shows who is the bullied learn about the topic, and how people can help.
If you want to read articles about bullying, there are a lot of resources.
No one can stop you, if you try to help somebody. I want people to not be afraid to step up for somebody because the bullied may be afraid when many people are helping the victim.
What will we do if no nobody cares about bullying? It can impact a lot of the victims. Many families will lose a member when they are not living. We don’t want our future to become a chaos when humans hurt other humans. We can always make a step by helping other people.
Together, we can stop preventing bullying in a matter of time. “We will make a difference!”
I would to like acknowledge to my english teacher Ms. Dunn, my SAT Emma Hersh because they guided me with all three blogs to have a rich blog. Ms. Dunn had been a wonderful helper because she told us what to write for each blog. Emma Hersh had helped me with editing, and upload my video to the blog. I would like to thank all the people who help me with my video, and revise my three blogs. Lastly, I appreciated for everyone who read all the blogs.

Intimidator Difficulty Part 2
Welcome
back! In the previous blog, I talked about all different kinds of
bullying and how it can affect other people. If you didn’t read my first blog,
click here. You wonder why
you are reading the next set of the blog. Well in this blog, it will launch
into a new journey. In this journey of blog 2, there will be more information,
my perspective on bullying, and the understanding of the issue. Don’t hesitate
and prepare yourself for the next adventure of massive bullying.
After
all the researching of bullying, it had struck me because many students were
criticized from all types of bullying. Many people don’t take things seriously,
but it can cause other people into a serious problems. Dealing with bullying,
there is no ending to what will happen next when hate is building up because
the bully is hard when children and adults are being foolishness.
Gathering
all new information about bullying, children who had been bullied change their
personalities. The victims usually;
:
Shy and quiet
:
Will lose relationship with friends
:
Bring weapons to school for vengeance
:
Commit suicide
They
rather end the anguish of being tortured everyday at school where they think it
is easier for them to rest in peace.
Bullying
is extremely wrong when the victims are being torture. The ones who bullied the
victims are also hurting themselves because it shows how much they care about
people. The fact when they don’t think how it can affect other people. I saw my
friends, and other students in my school were bullied by verbal. Students talk
trash to each other especially girls who gossips a lot about the clothes they
wear. Also boys who thinks they are better than each other. It’s crucial for
young children to die because family members will be really struck to the story
of their child committing suicide. They only want their child to have a
wonderful life for fulfilling their dreams in the future. The ones who are
friends with the bullied are afraid to stand up for their friend who had been
bullied because the next they will get bullied next, but it is important that
standing up for themselves or their friends will might stop them from
preventing bullying.
I
always talked to people why they aren’t friendly. When they don’t listen and
continue to threaten you, ignore them. Life is very precious where people can’t
just end their life. I always think words can’t hurt me because there is a lot
of things I want to experience instead of being depressed what people had said.
I don’t care what kind of bully occurs in the show because there is no right
where children hurt each other’s feelings for being better than others.
Children come to school are being created equally with all respects. No matter
what ethnicity, where you come from, the language you speak, personalities, etc,
we are all human beings who are like each other’s.
created a Google doc about bullying. On May17th, 2012 I had amass all the
responses with multiple choices with short answers. The results shows how many
people had been bullied, and if bully matters in the society.
“ I'll stand up for the weaker person. I don't care
how that makes me look to other people, because at the end of the day I
could've saved a life. What happens most of the time is people see it, think
it's wrong, but never speak up.” This shows how deeply when people wanted to
stand up for someone when he/she feels accomplish of helping the ones who get
tease.” - Anonymous, age 15.

Intimidator Difficulty
Hey you, don’t scroll down and ignore this blog! Let start off with who I am. My name is Aaron Tang and I am from Science Leadership Academy. For this project students are researching about an issues around the world, community, or countries. Many people don’t know what is going on from the other side of the country and so we are introducing the topic. The main ambition for this project is the importance of the situation, how do people interact with the environment, and what changes can the community do. It will give people to start changing the opinion, and you can help by adjusting where you live. Now let’s launch into the point.
There are forms of bullying; harassment, verbal, cyberbully,physical, and many more. Physical bullying also known as harassment is when there someone is hurting people such as fighting, kicking, etc. Verbal words comes out from people’s mouth when they say inappropriate things because they don’t know words can hurt feelings. Sometimes when you joke around with your friends, it can be offensive.
All the types of bullying can affect the way you can act and who you are. For example, people tease others by the way they look, religion, gender, race, and how they act. These can prevent people who had been bullied can commit suicide, deep depression, or physical abuse to themselves. Rumors will start in a matter of time when someone says something negative to them. Children will skip school, fail in classes, health problems, take bad medications on their body. Adults are trying to figure out how to end the bullying at school when things get very intense. Many lives are gone when children are hurting each other. Words can always hurt someone’s feeling when they are in deep depression. One of the reasons schools make kids wear uniforms is because other students will not judge each other when they wear the same clothes. If students have privilege to wear anything, things will be out of hand when they will comment their outfit. Students can lose friendship by getting bullied and struggle with school. The bullies think they are better than others, but its wrong to hurt other people when they are foolish.
Here are just some facts about bullying and you should be aware of. About 160,000 children miss school each day because they have the fear of getting hurt from other classmates. 56% of the students have witness bullying occurring in school. Did you know that 1 out of 7 students from k-12 are the bullied or the the victim of being bullied? 1 out of 20 students seen guns at school. 90% from 4th to 8th grade told of being the victims. All of these had been crucial for our generation. Children aren’t safe when school don’t do anything about ending the pressure are towards the victims. It's astonishing for most people when they found dramatic numbers are increasing of children that had been the victim of being bully.
Here’s the links to my bibliography.
The topic I am researching is how young people can stop bullying when it can hurt people’s feeling. I am trying to prevent people from bullying because the ones who get bullied will do tremendously wrong things when they have low esteem. Parents want their children to be in a safe environment at school and getting home safely without getting discomfort from students in school. Many parents can’t stop the negative passion of bullying when their children are the bully. Bullying occurs everywhere in the community, and the society needs to end the harassments. Humans tend to tease other people no matter what. Some kids pick on other kids who are weaker than them, so they feel pride in themselves.
There are forms of bullying; harassment, verbal, cyberbully,physical, and many more.

Sometimes when you joke around with your friends, it can be offensive.
Cyber-bully occurs on social media when texting, pictures, sending threats will affect their behavior. Indirect bullying is when there are rumors spreading around places that might be false when they can’t stop the stories. Cyber-bully happens 24/7 when parents can’t track anonymous posts. When text messages, posting pictures are sent to the person it will be extremely hard to erase because other people can read what they write to them especially on social media. Technology had been evolving constantly when the generations of children knows better than their parents, which makes parents hard to figure out. You should watch the movie Cyberbully that occurs to most teenagers.

They don’t know what to do with the situation, and their mind sets off to breakdown and gave up hope. If you take the time to realize how deeply it affects people, you might think twice.
Stop bullying. Make a change, and become the role model.
Here’s the links to my bibliography.
This picture is a glimpse of how bullying occurs in school.
This picture shows how bullying can affect someone mentally and physically.
This image conveys how helpless children can be if they are being bullied.
Negative Space- Tang, Aaron
A. What is negative space (explain this
concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)?
Negative space is images that have no
lines connecting. The picture shows that the outer piece of the drawing is
going to be shaded which is the negative space. For example, there are white
and blue and the white part of the drawing is positive space. The black is
negative because of the background. When the image had no lines, it will call
it a silhouette.
B.
Explain how you found negative space in 1. Your cut out? 2. In
your stool drawing?
The cut out as shown below which is the
owl. To find out the negative space it, will be the dark blue one. I noticed
that the dark blue one is the background of the negative space. The light blue
one shows the shape of the owl, and the two colors will show a picture of my
image. For my second step of drawing, I drew stools by looking at the view. I
drew all the stools with lines connected, but at the end I erase the lines so
the picture can be a one unite. I shaded the remainder to make it negative
space. The white part is showing the positive space of the image.
C.
Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
One reason why artist can see in the
negative space is giving a visual of the image. The positive and the negative
let people identify the picture. Without the details of the drawing, artists
can see what it is.
D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings,
why or why not
I think it is because people don't have to draw every little detail. With using
the technique of negative space and positive space, it will show a better
design. Also, people can visualize the image a lot faster.
Why does food matter?
Food food food! Food matters in life! The food will help me do something such as doing work. With out food in the world, I will die. I will eat different culture of food. When I am stressed, I will eat because i will be happy.
Your Highness?
We had finished the book called "Macbeth." I have tracked the character named Lady Macbeth. On this journey, you will learn how she had changed from being strong to weak. The quotes will help you guide the way of the path to Lady's Macbeth's depression. Now lets get started!
The artwork is based on Lady Macbeth. The sculpting is symbolizing Lady Macbeth’s important key in the book. The first sculpting is about power because at the beginning of the book, she became really obnoxious with the power. She wanted to take over the control and guided her husband, Macbeth to be the king. The next following sculpting is a knife. It shows that Lady Macbeth encourage Macbeth to kill King Duncan so both of them can get the power. There are quotes when she had talked about the dagger. The third sculpting is a crown. Lady Macbeth had the wish to take the crown as a queen to rule the power with her husband. This shows that the power had symbolized lunatic because she was scared that nobles would find out later. The power was too much for her where she had committed suicide. She didn’t really care about living than suffer in pain of killing. So the sculpting shows a memorial grave for Lady Macbeth’s death.
I
had created my arts and craft a castle because the theme sets off to royals and
highness. It shows that the time period is creating a non-fiction for people to
see. The houses are for the background are black and white because the colors
shows devastating period of time when there was a problem. The flags are
showing who is ruling the kingdom for Lady Macbeth and Macbeth ruling.

Aaron Tang, Q2, Media Fluency
In this slide, I did it visual where people can just look at
the picture and less words. People can see what the picture is going to be
about. You notice that my picture of me is focusing of that. I learned that if
they were too many pictures in one slide, it would be too much for people to
remember what it will be. I am focusing on one topic/ picture of me about
photography. For the past weeks, I have been adding a lot of pictures, but at
the end I only did one picture. I chose my words bigger and bigger. The topic
of me is “photography” and the biggest text would be “Mr. Tang.” I came up with
that because it is about me and I bold it. This will let people read it easier.
I learned that adding small text will let people see harder and the slide will
be boring. The bigger the words are, the better it is. Also, the words of the
colors are blending with my camera and my sweater. It gives people the visual
of repetitions. I have learned that people like to match with the same colors.
For example, many people match colors with their clothes. So matching with
color helps. The background is dark, while the text colors are brighten. The
bright texts would help it shine. I put the cameras on the sides and bleed off
because it gives people overwhelm and more professional. The bleed off pictures
seems cooler. The slide has some empty spaces so my slide which it doesn’t have
to be tacky. Also I chose the colors of the camera to fade away because it is
part of the background and I don’t want the cameras to be as important. I gave
my picture of myself a reflection and it wasn’t fading because it focuses the
topic I am talking about.
Reflection: What I learned from this project is not to add a lot of pictures in one slide. As people driving by billboards, some of them had fewer words and one picture. If there are so many pictures in one slide, it will be too tacky. Adding less word helps because I learn that making slide shows should be simple and it is better. I also learned that I want one picture to be focused instead of other pictures. During the research, I learn that matching with colors with the words and pictures is better. For example, people like to match colors with their outfits. I have nothing to change because I took almost every elements from the website I used to do my slide. I took my critical thinking to make my slide unique. The camera, I fade it; I don't want the camera to be on spotlight. The curve of the camera is facing towards the words so people can read it. I just want people to see the picture on the right. If I can do this project again, I would take all my knowledge from the website I learned from.
