This is a website that I have found while researching about my capstone. This website gives me information about homelessness and how people can connect to other programs and organization so they can go get the help they need for whatever it that they need. One thing about this website is that they have requirements that they need to have in order to be in these programs. This website also helps how with getting involved so people can help really do something for the people. This website gives me information where in my website or slides that I can put for the people if someone needs it.

This website has an article about the expanding of the project/hub of the home. The new homeless center is located in the suburban station. It’s a center that doesn't have a place to sleep over but it gives you coffee and let the people shower and give clothes so they can stay warm. This article really lets me get to know what this center is for and why it's built there. I think I really liked about the article is that it quoted people and their opinion ..“Instead of building fences and criminalizing homelessness, SEPTA and the city decided to repurpose a space to serve the men and women that are homeless,” within the information that I got I think this website is credible because it quotes people and it’s WHYY website which is one of the biggest kids channels so I think this would be credible. I will use this information to use it on the process paper.

This website is mostly for my website and the section where I’m going to put information where people can go and use the information if they need for anything or any unfortunate events that may happen or if someone is going through something you can recommend it. And this source is credible because it even link to any website or phone number and any address that they got the source from.One thing that I really like about this website is that if someone is in a unfortunate situation they can just go to this website and it will give all the information that you need and the requirement that you need to be in that program, which is really helpful.

This website is also another article of the project home itself and not specifically about the suburban station but it's an overview of the whole project home and what they do and how they help the people with anything for example like the opioid crisis. It also talks about Kensington which is the biggest place that ha drug addicts, and as the people said the "needle park" because there are so many needles there lying around that has been used. It will help me with the process paper that I will be writing and really explain why I choose to work with them. I got a lot of information from this article, It quotes the phrases and says what the people think of their new idea. It’s also from WHYY is I would think it’s credible.

Michael Gainer@projecthome.org. "Homeless Memorial Day." Project HOME. December 19, 2018. Accessed January 25, 2019. https://projecthome.org/memorial.

This is another article that I plan to use for my proposal paper.. It give a lot of information about the homeless memorial that they have for the homeless people. The thing about project home is they are all over philadelphia so they have different event all the time for the people in need. This website really gives the information about the different event and where they have it and the important people that are going to come there and how other people can contribute and support their event for the people in need. This source is credible because it's the website of the organization that I’m working with so I know all the information that I use will be correct.

This is another article from WHYY about a man who was homeless for 25 years and he never went to middle school or high school so he didn't know how to read or write so he didn't know anything about any organization that helps the people in need. This website is basically an interview written and the person who has interviewed is a person who went to Science leadership academy and he was one of the people who a did a lot for the people and did protest all the time. He is a well respected person in our school so it’s my pleasure to have him has a primary source. The amount of information that I got from this I would say it’s credible and it’s quoted and I would definitely use this information for my process paper at the end.

Superadmin. "Housing." Project HOME. February 28, 2018. Accessed January 25, 2019. https://projecthome.org/our-work/housing.

This is a website that is from the project home themselves. It's a website that Helps people find housing and and programs that gives them a place to stay and have something that they can call home. I think it's a great website that helps people find a home. They have built over 802 units that they have built all over philadelphia And they have more coming that they are going to built. Their goal is to built 1000 units all over philadelphia. While reading this article I have found that how much this article can help someone. In my final presentation I will create a slide or a tab in the website where if someone need to they can go to this website and they will help someone if they need it which will be really helpful.

This is a website that helps me figure out the facts about poverty. I want to put statistics in my presentation of how much our country lack of helping the people in need. The information that I provided in the website makes my presentation more exciting and helpful to people so they can see how much we are lacking. Within every penny that they give it will go somewhere and it will help someone. I will use this website to help me with statistics so the process paper itself can standout. I think this website is credible because it’s a government website and it credits its sources.

This is a website where it show the most important things that shelters  need for making a homeless kit that the people need. Like on the website one thing that I saw was that water bottles, and hygiene products  is one of the most essential thing that they can use and in need of donations there. It’s also a website where people can donate money for acts of kindness and it gives you tips on what’s a good essential kit would be, Which in my case is very helpful because i’m making hygiene kits for the homeless people. I think it’s credible because it’s someone's project that they have did once and it’s still out there for people to see and now i’m doing a project similar to them and it really makes me think about what how my project will be preceded in the future? Will someone see what I did just like how i’m looking at someone else's?

Winerman, Lea. “Helping Others, Helping Ourselves” No 11, Volume 37. Page 38. American Psychological Association, December 2006.

https://www.apa.org/monitor/dec06/helping.aspx

This is another website that I really like because it’s a website that tells everything about helping you self vs helping others and how it’s therapeutic to yourself and how it can relieve stress. Helping other gives you a joy in your heart that you did something good that will forever go on for the rest of your life that you did that.The five word that they define and how they improve that is really interesting: Values,Community concern. Esteem enhancement, Understanding, personal development. And it also goes deep into how organization can hold on to volunteer for a long term. I think this is really helpful to myself because it can remind me why i’m doing this and the benefits of it.  Also This is credible because it’s not in a website where they don’t put the sources and where they go the information from.

My goals for this paper is for people to realize that sports doesn’t have to be all masculine and for only people that are bulky and strong. I doesn’t have to be someone who is a man and someone who is straight. I think anyone can play sports and it doesn’t matter what they look like they shouldn’t be judge or be harassed. I’m proud of the introduction paragraph because I think I have some good questions to think about in the beginning for people to think about. I think I can improve on the writing part and describing it.

Advanced Essay

In sports, men are usually super masculine and when there’s someone who is gay or have different sexualities or even female it can become a problem and people who are against these things starts to cause problem for others. Because it’s always shown in such a masculine point of view. Sometimes it goes as far as to where they can use a homophobic slur against another person. All of these things made me question “What exactly is masculinity? How would you define masculinity?” ”So are you not masculine if you're gay or other sexuality other than being straight.” “Why are sports so masculine all the time?” “Is there a certain mold that you have to fit in to or to get accepted into what’s so called ‘sports team’?”Why not accept them for who they are? Does it really make a difference or make the team look bad because they don’t look like term “masculine” ` that society put for people.

According to toxic masculinity in sports  I read about what other people feels about sports, and their experience. In this quote Gillian Reese talks about  how her highschool switched up the football team one day with the cheerleaders and it turned out to be fine “With football, guys are the players and girls are the cheerleaders. When I was in high school we had an event called “powderpuff football” where the girls would be the players and the guys would be cheerleaders. Why can’t this be a normal sport?” . I like that they switched up the sexes in football to show that not all the time it has to be the traditional way that society puts it. And if the sports are like this I want people to know that it’s not the end of the world and they don't have to harass other people.

This is story is about a time when I had personal experience with this whole masculinity thing in sports. It was one day when I was 8 years old I had to stay with my cousin because my parents had to get out of town and I had to stay with my cousin and his parents. He was in his teens so he was always moody,always said no to everything and didn’t listen to anyone. I didn’t have anyone to play with me and I had no one to talk with in their house so I chose to go with my cousin and his friends when they were playing cricket which is a sport that southeastern Asians play so I decided that I was going to join their game thinking nothing would go wrong, but boy was that a big mistake. “Can I play with you guys?” I said. They all  looked at me and they looked at my cousin like it was the most weirdest thing that I wanted to play with a group of boys. “What?” my cousin said. “I said can I play with you guys?” I said it louder. “You want to play with us?” one of his friend said “Yeah?” I said like it was the most obvious thing ever. “Get out your not playing with us!” One of the guys said “Yeah you are a girl” “You can’t even throw a ball.” another said “who said I can’t throw a ball?” “I said just get out” said my cousin. Then I walked away towards the garden feeling down because i didn’t understand why I couldn’t play with them just because I’m a girl.

In this quote Reese states her opinion and she also compares sports to dance to show it in a different way for people to understand. “Boys are always said to be more competitive; this is why sports were made for men! But in reality, certain characteristics are not built into you based on your gender. Gender is a social construct as well as gender stereotypes. Some stereotypical adjectives for males are aggressive, heated, and, like I said before, competitive. When you think of a sport such as football, one may want their player to have all of those qualities. When you think of a sport such as dance, one might question someone having those qualities. I think they both can be attributable characteristics to both sports, even though dance is considered “feminine” and football “masculine.”” I really liked how she compared the both to state it in a way that makes you think about both and compare them.

In conclusion I think masculinity is a term that society puts and everyone just goes with it and expects everyone to be that way and it’s more so really focused in sports a lot these days because sports is so big and everyone expects it to be the traditional way for everyone.

Toxic Masculinity In Sports.” The Odyssey Online, 30 Aug. 2017, www.theodysseyonline.com/toxic-masculinity-in-sports

Advance essay #2  

No English

In the essay I wanted to explore the literacy of not speaking the languages. And how it can affect people in different way.   People don’t understand how hard it is to not speak a language in a country that everyone speaks that languages and how hard it is to get through everything.

It was the second day of our new house in in 2011, two weeks in united states.  I did not speak english at that time. Neither did my family. We just came to united states and finally moved into our new house. The moving process did not take long because we did not have that many things with us. Not like we can bring furniture on  a plane. We had to sell all the furniture that my mom customized it in her own design that she was really proud of. I remembered that my mom was really sad when she had to sell her dresses which was completely new she just got it and it’s made out of real wood. After we moved in and finished putting everything away I realized I didn’t have anything to do at all. My mom wanted to take a nap while my dad was at work, and my siblings were sleeping while I was bored in this big home doing nothing. I didn’t have a television either. I wandered around the house and found a window. Then I looked out and saw that you can climb out the window and sit on the roof top but it didn’t have a door to go through. I looked out and saw the next door people had a deck on the rooftop and they had a door so I decided to go out and climb through the window. In the process of climbing I almost slipped and fell but I held on to the window. “Becareful” someone said “Ki” “Oh, I said be careful”  I  just looked at her didn’t know what to say. “Are you guys new here” she said. First I didn’t get what she said but then I knew what the word new was so I said yes. “don’t go to far off the edge” now what she just blabared I didn’t understand, but I just said ok so she doesn't have repeat herself. Finally I was able to come down from the edge of the window to the roof of the second floor. “ did you understand what I said” she said. “I...I no I.. NO ENGLISH” I said to her. Her facial expression changed from normal to confused “OH OK….Well it was nice to meet you” I didn’t say anything not because I didn’t understand but because I didn’t know what to say to her. Then she left and went in the door that was made for the deck unlike me climbing through a window. From that moment in my life I realized that “Flies don’t enter a closed mouth” Interpret that as if I don’t learn or try to learn english there wouldn't be any word coming out of my mouth. And I wouldn’t understand anything people would say to me.

From then on I always Look at the book my dad brought to learn english. I watched TV and cartoons like my aunts said to. She said it would help me know some words and learn  how to use them in real life.  

Another time I had to I had experience not understanding english  was with my mom. It was 3 years after the time when I met the lady on the deck. By then I knew how to speak english good enough to understanding everything and not no know to speak. I could speak fine then. I was in 7th grade.  I became the ultimate translator in my family. I had to go everywhere with my mom and dad from grocery stores to green card office to school  report card conference.

One day I was just sitting in my room after school  thinking about everything and how much my life has changed from when I was in my country to now. And the differnce between teachers, how they teach vs how teachers teaches in my country. One of the most different thing about teachers in united states vs teachers in Bangladesh is the strictness. Which reminds me of a time when I didn’t bring my homework to school in Bangladesh….

I woke up in the morning with knots in my stomach. I knew that this day wouldn’t go right. It was one of those days where nothing goes your way and everything you do ends up being wrong.  I walked down the hallway to my bathroom to get ready for school. After I got ready I went to go have breakfast but no one was awake to make breakfast. Sighing…. “Okay I’ll just take a granola bar and eat it on the way,” I said to myself. I went to go put everything in my backpack but I saw all my stuff in the in my backpack already, Then I remembered I never did any of my homework because I didn’t feel well that weekend. “Oh my god , oh my god “ I kept saying.” I didn’t realize I was saying it a little loud. “Why are you screaming” my mom screamed at me. “I’m not screaming” I said yelling at her. She just looked at me knowing she's right. Sigh… “I’m leaving.” I said to my mom. I walked down stairs and open the gate and started walking down the block. Half way through the walk I realized I didn’t eat any breakfast neither did I bring my granola bar with me. I silently shook my head at myself knowing that it can get way worse today, I just know it. As soon as I went near the school I look at the watch on my hand to see that I have a minute until they ring the bell. I ran up the stairs to the 4th floor, I had english first today. Walking in I sat in my assigned sit near the window. I sat down and took out my english textbook and my homework book to show my homework but I didn’t do it. I put my hand under my chin and looked out the window. I didn’t realize that the teacher was in front of my desk calling my name. “ huh.. Oh ami kori nai = Oh I didn’t do it” “ Cano= Why?” “Āmi asusta chilam ēbaṁ āmi ēṭi bhulē gēchi = I've been sick and I forgot I had homework”  She looked at me like I forgot my passport for my flight that’s leaving. For ten second she just stared at me which felt a lot more than ten second. Never in my life did I have more strict teacher than her. She always seems mad. “ Bā'irē dām̐ṛiẏē thākō yatakṣaṇa nā āmi tōmākē āsatē bali = go stand outside until I tell you to come in ” That day she made me stand outside the door of the classroom  for 10 minutes. When she finally told me to come in she gave me a lecture about how she going to tell my mom. It always fascinates me how much of a difference in teaching  over there and how they teaches in united states.

Israt Jahan

Hola, mi nombre es Israt Jahan. tengo 16. Yo soy de Bangladesh. Me mudé aquí cuando tenía 11 años de edad.La escuela que yo fui en la quinto grado se llama The Drew school ese año No entendí nada, porque no hablo a Inglés.Todo aquí lo sentí diferente porque no sé lo que está sucediendo, pero ahora que sé lo que está sucediendo qué puedo aportar a lo que está sucediendo a mi alrededor y qué puedo hacer para hacer de este un lugar mejor.

Vivo en Filadelfia  Es un lugar bueno, ruidoso y a veces tranquilo. Viví aquí por 4 años. Hay murales en mi barrio. Me gusta el mural que me inspira. Una cosa que no me gusta en mi comunidad es que no me gusta gente que no limpia La gente tira basura todo el tiempo. Me gusta un poco donde yo vivo, porque es west philly y no es considerado un buen lugar, pero nunca hemos tenido ningún problema. Me gustaría ir a un barrio diferente con comunidad buena. Uno de los temas más importantes es la gente.La Gente siempre le gusta luchar allí.Ellos piensan que es malo y está bien ser violento. No hay nadie importante en mi barrio. Nunca había ninguna persona importante en mi barrio.

La pared que escogí es la única pared que está vacía en mi barrio. En mi barrio todas las paredes son una obra de arte, representa cosas como la carta de amor a las religiones. Para mi mural estoy pensando en hacer algo como un fuerte mensaje en diferentes idiomas para que todo el mundo puede leer incluso si no hablan Inglés. Puede hacer que alguien se sienta mejor porque a veces las personas no son tratadas por igual, y si hay un mensaje que la gente puede ver para recordarles, puede traer a alguien día mejor. El mural tiene idioma diferente así que si alguien no habla inglés, puede buscar su lengua y también saber de qué se trata.
