"Singing Is My Forte"

Posted by Jordan Hairston in English 2 - Pahomov on Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 4:12 pm

  • While interviewing Jessica Kyle, for her crossing boundaries meant being successful in the music industry at her age. That success means being able to constantly perform her own music instead of others. Jessy’s interview taught me how difficult it can be to chase a dream. Her interview also taught me to continue to achieve greatness if it’s an option. I discovered more about my cousin that I didn’t know. I knew the basic story of her success, but with her retelling her story, I discovered steps I would’ve needed to take to be just as successful. With Jessy not going to college- when most felt like she should’ve- and not going, she viewed that as crossing a boundary. Despite getting a college degree, she’s still successful by performing and composing.

"Against the norm" by Jamie Murphy

Posted by Jamie Murphy in English 2 - Pahomov on Friday, March 2, 2012 at 1:50 pm

I interviewed my mom about the difficulties she had went through for me to be here. She reflects about the experiences she experienced while going through the process of wanting a baby.

Crossing boundaries is a chance that many people are willing to take. It all depends on the type of boundaries that are being crossed and how. In my mom's case, she was determined to have a baby even with the circumstances she was in. She went against the norm. my mom went above and beyond to have and raise a child.  This project made me realize all the things people go through and experience in their lives.

Unconditional Love...

Posted by Aaron Van-Buren in English 2 - Pahomov on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 at 7:59 pm

What does Unconditional Love mean to you? Unconditional love is love that never stops and regardless of what happens, bad or good you will love this person until death. What if you never saw this person again? How would you feel? 
Unconditional_Love
​Through the interviews I learned that everyone has their own definition of strength and how they feel about how their understanding might change if a love one or a close one dies. Through my interview of myself I spoke about how strength is physical, spiritual and mental and they can change over who that person is. When my grandfather passed away I cried so I thought I wasn't physical strong but I just had to try and remember all the good times. My mother talked about how strength is physical, spiritual and mental and how her life has changed but she feels that my grandfather is in a better place and she remembers how he was her first person she could trust in. When Joe talked about his understanding of strength and how death affects him but it doesn't affect him as much. Not unless he is really close to the person. The crossing boundaries of this podcast is that when love for a person is conflicted with death, your understanding of strength will change because of the Unconditional Love you have for that person!

Owning A Business

Posted by Isaac Adlowitz in English 2 - Pahomov on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 at 7:51 pm

​I interviewed my parents about running their own businesses, and how they got to where they are today. I interviewed my dad about selling a new organic fertilizer to farmers all over the country. I also interviewed my mom who is an artist who has owned her own business for a long time. I found out lots of information about the struggles and the best parts to running a business. 
Podcast
Crossing boundaries to me is challenging the status quo or typical social norms. My parents demonstrate challenging the status quo by having jobs that are not by any means normal, not doing a job that they feel will pay them the most money, and by putting a lot at risk having those jobs. Some could argue that they're challenging it by loving their job because many people throughout the world hate their jobs. The interview experience was very smooth. My parents gave terrific answers to my questions and it was helpful. I learned about the steps both of them took towards where they are today. With this project at first I was really nervous because I had never used Garage Band or any other type of audio editing software. I personally hating using garage band, but thought I learned a new valuable skill. It frustrated me deeply at first with editing because I was so uncertain and very unorganized. I think that we could've used a one class tutorial on how to use Garage Band because it took me awhile to adjust.

"How do we know who Passes" by Tyler Creighton

Posted by Tyler Creighton in English 2 - Pahomov on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 at 9:06 am

​I always wondered how many people can pass as something there not, by there color or features. Maybe from where hey grew up or ever there accents. Does this effect there life, maybe there families life.this is an interview about race and how it can be played with and looked at in many different ways.  


http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32929873/Grandmom%20interview.mp3

From this project I learned that people cross boundaries  in many different ways. They cross racial boundaries, relation, language, appearance,stereo types and many other ones also.While doing this project I discovered that someone in my family was dark enough to pass for indian and I was actually surprised. Crossing boundaries doesn't necessarily mean running across a boundary. It can mean different things.It could mean doing something other than your family or being with people that don't speak the same boundary as you, or even becoming a different religion than what you grew up as.There are sometimes benefits and some times costs for becoming this. For example my grab uncle changed his race to a full indian because he passed as one.He benefited from this because he became apart of a good family and learned a lot about a new culture. But he also lost the rights to see his old and when he did he couldn't be related to them in any type of way because we are russian, and other ethnicities and he was not that anymore.While I was doing interviews I learned that when you asked people question they usually talk a lot. An interview is very hard to edit because you can't pause it. 


During my interview there was a lot of unexpected errors. There was many pauses and my grandmother ended up talking very LOUD. I couldn't make this lower because the rest of it would have been. I had to do a lot of cutting so the interview could flow through with out anyone being able to tell she coughed a lot. Although I did this I got pretty good comments. Other than what I know that she was talking loud they told me my music towards the end was a bit loud also and it was covering the ending of the interview. I did that purposely because it was another person but they almost repeated what someone said before. I agree with them but overall I think my final project was pretty good.

Reflection

The experience of doing interview, well in my podcast I interviewed my grandfather, twice. Once like earlier in the year, and the other time last week, there are two different interviews that I did some of them are old ones and most of them are ones from last week, I though in the old ones because some of them had a lot to do about crossing boundaries. Like stealing shoes, or stealing anything for that matter, I thing the main part or the crossing boundaries part is mostly about stealing things to survive, in the 1940s.

 

Editing was a lot easier then what I thought it would be, because the music I chose just went perfectly with the interview itself.

 

My weakness was about the volume itself, like the music was too loud while the voice was too low. Nothing I can’t fix though.

 

I agree with the comments my peers gave me because they are right, and honest about their feedback. Also they tell what, and what not to edit and they like most of the editing anyway.

In the united states, there are many students and teenagers that are trying to become big in the music bus sinus but are faced with challenges and problems that force them to cross boundaries. In this interview, i'll be interviewing Roberto, Aaron, Victoria, Franklin and Sterling from Science Leadership.

Why be the same? - Shannon Powers

Posted by Shannon Powers in English 2 - Pahomov on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 at 8:46 am

​ Why would you need to be the same as your family? Haven't you ever wanted to do something apart from them? Why don't you listen to my pod cast and hear what some other teens think of such things. 



Reflection


  I learned a lot from my pod cast inter views. Mainly that I'm not the only person who had trouble changing religion within my family. I tried once and wound up converting back to Catholic faith. My two best friends also switched religions within their families and succeeded in doing so. I learned that even though they might be disappointed you can still be you and change religion in your family. Even if they don't agree and may hit on in the head with a wooden spoon in the end it could be worth it. Also there are more then one ways to learn about a religion not just by the book your parents may give you.
