Ms. Tomlin (CRR)

 we had to write a cute little shout out paragraph for Ms. Tomlin ..... here's mine.

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! CLASS OF 2014 WE MADE IT!  I am beyond excited. Thurgood watched me from doo braids to 28’ inch popping.  Throughout these six years I was blessed to experience some of the best memories I shared with my family and friends. I thank them for dealing with my attitude and seeing the best in me. I want to especially think my family for always being there and supporting me no matter what. I can never forget the class of 2014 everyone is like one big family we all fight, argue have disagreements but we always find away to make each other laugh and made the best of the previous years. It hurts that we all have came to an end of our journey but, this journey was a memorable one. 

Hamlet ( ID)

We have currently done a lot of fun and interesting things in Ms. Hegemens class. Fist we started out reading different Shakespeare stories such as much ado about nothing to get a feel and be ready for the things that are to come in Hamlet. At first we thought Hamlet was just going to be a boring story about boring and old Shakespeare people but, it wasn't yes I'd admit it was sometimes hard to understand but with the aid of Ms. hegemon and Ms. Brown we were able to get into character and learn a lot about what's actually going on in the play. Then after that we went to BAM performed it and had a great time doing so. It made us appreciate the class and the story more and gave a even better understanding. It also allowed us accomplish and conquered new, difficult and challenging things. All in all it was a beautiful experience and I know its going to help me in the future.

In ms.p's class (p)

I just currently learned what Parkinson's disease is. I found this very interesting because I never heard of a disease such as this let me enlighten you with my knowledge.

What is Parkinson’s disease?

Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and also the most common movement disorder. It is characterized by continuous loss of muscle control, which leads to trembling of the limbs and head while at a resting state, stiffness, slowness, and imbalance of the body and body functions. As the symptoms become more intense it may gradually become difficult to walk, talk, and complete simple daily tasks.Parkinson’s disease causes difficulties with movement and coordination. Many researchers believe the disease comes from the midbrain and brain stem. This disease gradually develops after the age of fifty. It affects both males and females. Parkinson’s disease slowly destroys brains cells that make dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical substance made to help control muscle movement. It is more likely to occur in older people but that does not make it uncommon in younger youths. When a young child is affected it is most likely due to genetics. Without dopamine, the nerve cells in this part of the brain cannot send messages properly. This leads to a loss of muscle function throughout the body some may occur faster than others.  The reason for the destroyed cell is yet unknown. Many people with Parkinson's disease live long lives, whereas others tend to notice the systems getting severe at a faster rate. The results of the symptoms getting severe are premature death which is usually due to complications such as injuries related to falling or pneumonia. Most of the movement related symptoms of Parkinson's disease are due to lack of dopamine which is caused by a loss of dopamine producing cells in the substantia nigra. The substantia nigra is a brain structure located in the mid brain. When the quantity of dopamine is too low, there is communication loss between the substantia nigra and corpus striatum, and movement becomes difficult to occur. The more dopamine being lost, it causes the severity of the movement related symptoms. Other cells in the brain also become affected because as we know the brain is a composed of many different sections that work together to get messages across and to get task done. Therefore whatever effects one affects the rest within the matter of time Parkinson’s disease has been around since 5000 BC.  Around this time, an ancient Indian civilization called the disorder Kampavata created treatment using seeds from a plant containing therapeutic levels of what is today known as levodopa. But, it was not until Dr. James Parkinson wrote about it in a detailed medical essay in 1817 that the disease hit main stream. This Disease was first known as Shakes Palsy.  The publication was entitled "An Essay on the Shaking Palsy". A Frenchman by the name Jean Martin Charcot tested and saw the importance of the disease and then later named it after Dr. James Parkinson. Although there is no real cure for Parkinson’s disease there are many treatment options. A doctor can diagnose the disease and how bad it is based on your symptoms. Since there is no real cure the treatment options are meant to control the symptoms. In order to control the symptoms your doctor may prescribe you with many different medications but, you can also help yourself by changing your diet into a more nutritional one and exercise to keep your muscles moving. Surgery may be an option for some patients depending on the severity. 

 

 

Internship s (FC)

I think that internships are the dumbest thing every created on earth. It immazes me how people are actually able to work hard and put up their best posture and put in there all in order to be in the liking of the employers . The employers have the right to just say they don't want you being apart of their organization just to say it so they could get another free worker. I'm currently apart of an internship that for about 3 months and at the end of it the decided if they want to keep us there's a couple of other workers  there also. We are basically only able to work 20 hours a week but some of the workers there work over 50 hours a week. I don't see that as dedication I see that as pure stupidity. They are just basically being used the employers hype them up and all but imagine after all that hard work they don't even get hired they just get told that there not good enough to work there . All in all I'm currently in this internship I just want to know the ending result because they are always complimenting me saying how good of a worker I am blah blah blah but if they dub me at the end I don't care I'm wrecking the place and cursing all of the the hell out idk who they think they are dubbing people when they feel like it . The interns work harder then the workers that at the place some of the workers are some freaking stupid it's sad that they get paid for that but I'm just waiting till the end of the month to get the results

Expencive clothing( FC)

            Is it worth it to by expensive clothing? Prior to answering this question let’s not focus on our want but our needs.  Take the time to understand how clothing is made and how much is money is actually spent on the expensive clothing we were verses how much we spend on them. Wearing cloths is a basic human characteristic from back in the earlier time period of wearing animal skin until discovering cotton and other different types of fibers.

           

            What you wear tells a lot about you as an individual. In our society we tend to judge people based on what they wear this can be proven by a study made by sociologist Ben C. Fletcher. He carried out a research with over 300 adults (men and women). They looked at images of a man and a woman for just 3 seconds before making 'snap judgments' about them. In some of the pictures the man wore a made-to-measure suit. In others he wore a very similar off-the-peg suit bought on the high street. The differences in the suits were very minor they had controlled color and fabric, as well as making sure the face of the model was pixilated so that there could be no hidden messages in the facial expressions. The result of this research showed that after 3 seconds of viewing each picture they decided that the man with the made-to-measure had a review of having more confidence, successful, flexible, and a higher earner than when he wore a high street suit mind you this was the same model in both suits.

            Most of the cloths that we wear today are made from cotton. The cloths that were made in early times wear actually handmade but today since technology advanced. We are able to make more things at once and respond to supply in demand faster. People wear cloths depending on what region they live in what we as New Yorker's think is in style and trendy is played out and made fun of somewhere else and vice versa. ”The process starts by harvesting mature cottons. Then the mature balls are placed in machine which blows the ball away from the cotton and leaving only the fibers resembling puffy cotton balls. It is then placed in cotton gin to clean and remove the seeds from it. In the past, the cotton was spun on the spinning wheel that was operated using foot pedal. But in the recent years, the process is done using electrical power. It is important for the yarn to be carded before placing the cotton to the loom. It is where the cotton is stretched across the drum, brushing any impurities before lying flat on the loom.” (“How is it made?”)
