School is about to end soon for me and already I missed a due date for an assignment but it's ok because I'll get partial credit for it if I turn it in before next week Monday.
I am almost finished with a commercial for my advanced speech class. We were given a project where we had to create a product that would benifit the community. I was paried with two other girls and we made an educational program that twould help stimulate the high school mind and hopefully do much better in their studies. It's called Education Enhancement and it is a technology based education that is taken home on CD's with elaborate step by step examples when needed. All of this is due tomorrow. We start our speeches sometime this week.
I also have a project for Haqwaiian History due this Friday and didn't even start on it yet. EEP!!!! It's on Hawaii's process of becoming a state. I'tll be easy. It has to be 3-5 pages with sources in the paper and I need at least two books for the project, so I'm not stressing.
I also have another Hawaiian History project due on the last day of class. It's a cultural immersion project and I decided to do Hawaiian art. We have to have at least two hours working on our projct and it has to somehow reflect who we are as a Hawaiian. For my project, I am making a pot with flowers on the upper part, my aumakua (spiritual animal), which is the shark, in the middle, and the Hawaiian triangles on the bottom.
I decided to use those images in that order for many reasons. I put the flowers on the top because when I am out and about, I have this happyness that people can sense, even though they may judge me on how I look.
I chose the shark not only because it's my aumakua, but because I believe that sharks are powerful creatures who are willing to fight for something they want. Even though I am not that kind of perosn, I am making progress. I am, however, strong in a family sense. I am very protective about my family and those close to me and people will find that out sooner or later. I put the shark in the middle of the pot to show that I have a strong center.
I chose the Hawaiian triangles becuase they represent a strong base. I was raised to honor and respect my elders and to not lash out to anyone.
