Egypt Bracey Senior Capstone

Posted by Egypt Bracey in Senior Capstone · Schaar · ILP/TFI/CAP on Friday, May 18, 2018 at 10:32 pm
​

As the year comes to an end I have created a project that is a reflection of myself and my passion for beauty, hair, and makeup. I inspire myself each and everyday to do my best. We are planning on making a Beauty Campaign that showcases that origin does not determine your inner beauty. My team member, William and I plan on furthering our education in the beauty industry. This is something I love to do on my spare time and when I’m at work. The only thing that has changed in my vision about my capstone is the time because the end of the school year is approaching and we needed to hurry up. Will does makeup and I do hair so we both decided to split it up and have a mini photoshoot. We also wanted all of our models to be different races so it could stand out. By doing this I hoped to  not only do I plan to advance in my beauty career but also I plan on being more patient with working with clients and making sure I can do this for the rest of my life. I hope to learn a thing about entrepreneurship and how I can eventually make my own business. I also hope to learn how to be more organized and on time with my work. By the end of this I hope I get to show everyone my talent and how this really means so much to me.

For my Q1 benchmark in crafts, we had to pick a pattern and create a project. I chose to make a scarf. But at first, I couldn't figure out what to do so that was one difficult aspect. I thought I was going to make a head wrap until I looked at the pattern I chose and didn't really want to. So I decided to make a scarf. Another difficult thing was when I ran out of yarn so I had to find another color that was the same texture. I felt successful when I finally finished my scarf. But I'm still not satisfied with my scarf I think I could've done better. I would start over because I did double crochet stitch and it looked so much better and it was faster than doing single crochet. Now I can show everybody how to this.

​My group and I chose to make a website because we thought it would be more creative. I already knew a lot about hurricanes but I did learn a lot more. I learned more about the Earth's systems; Hydrosphere, Biosphere, Geosphere, and Atmosphere. Hurricanes have a huge impact on all of the Earth's systems. Along with climate change which is one of the main reason we have been seeing so many hurricanes this summer back to back. I wonder if we can come up with a plan to help people evacuate and get help before the hurricane occurs.

Q3 Final Benchmark

Posted by Egypt Bracey in Intro to Design and Multmiedia on Friday, March 24, 2017 at 10:59 pm
The project I did was the Video Editing. Autumn and I created a news segment. I hoped to learn how to edit videos with different tools that I haven’t used before. We took class time to record and added other people into our video for extra characters. Some failures that I faced during this process was coming up ideas and places to record, but we ended up  finding a place and coming up with ideas to make our video look more like a crime scene and a news station. I still don’t like the way we did the video. If I was to do this project over then I would make it more organized and pick another place to record, also I wouldn't put it on WeVideo. I would totally do this project over, I feel I was unorganized and didn't really get a chance to edit it the right way. What I learned was I need to not procrastinate in class and spend more time editing next time. I feel like we were in a rush to get stuff done and didn't think things through. So next time I'll do a whole lot better.

In this graphic design project we had to create a road sign that represents a real or fake situation or direction.  The sign should have any words, just images to convey your message.  In order for me to complete this project I had to choose a platform where I was going to create my sign. I took me a while to find one because I had to try all of them to see which ones I was most comfortable with. I ended up choosing YouiDraw  to make my design. I encountered some problems on the way because YouiDraw doesn’t save your work automatically. So Ms Hertz told me to use Pixlr instead, but that didn’t help because it was really hard to use. I ended up using YouiDraw again and figured out how to use it. For you to save your work you had to lock each movement you did so it can save, but don’t exit out the tab or it'll delete. I learned that I need to look at whatever tool I'm using thoroughly before giving up because I ended up finding a solution to my problem. I learned that I can be creative with different tools to make designs, even htough it's not always easy you'll find some way to do it.

​In this project I want to show you what my passion is. This project is about my life and what I want my career to be. On my website I included my Instagram page with pictures of the work I have done through my ILP and on my own time. On my website I included my about me page, home page, resume page, and project page. To build my website I started off by choosing my layout for how I anted mine to look. Then I started designing my website from there. It was difficult trying to organize my home page, it was just kind of hard all together because I didn't really know what I wanted to put. If I was to do it again it would look way better with more content. I learned that I could make a website.

No te rindas

No te rindas, aún estás a tiempo

De alcanzar y comenzar de nuevo,

Aceptar tus sombras,

Enterrar tus miedos,

Liberar el lastre,

Retomar el vuelo.

No te rindas que la vida es eso,

Continuar el viaje,

Perseguir tus sueños,

Destrabar el tiempo,

Correr los escombros,

Y destapar el cielo.

No te rindas, por favor no cedas,

Aunque el frío queme,

Aunque el miedo muerda,

Aunque el sol se esconda,

Y se calle el viento,

Aún hay fuego en tu alma

Aún hay vida en tus sueños.

Porque la vida es tuya y tuyo también el deseo

Porque lo has querido y porque te quiero

Porque existe el vino y el amor, es cierto.

Porque no hay heridas que no cure el tiempo.

Abrir las puertas,

Quitar los cerrojos,

Abandonar las murallas que te protegieron,

Vivir la vida y aceptar el reto,

Recuperar la risa,

Ensayar un canto,

Bajar la guardia y extender las manos

Desplegar las alas

E intentar de nuevo,

Celebrar la vida y retomar los cielos.

No te rindas, por favor no cedas,

Aunque el frío queme,

Aunque el miedo muerda,

Aunque el sol se ponga y se calle el viento,

Aún hay fuego en tu alma,

Aún hay vida en tus sueños

Porque cada día es un comienzo nuevo,

Porque esta es la hora y el mejor momento.

Porque no estás solo, porque yo te quiero




Mi reflexiones sobre el poema es el poema es muy alentador y me encanta. Su punto principal del poema es contar tu no te rindas! Este poema es inspirador personas no te rindas. Poesía es básicamente diciendo que no importa lo que dejas que nada en tu camino.



Esperanza!


Esperanza es que usted necesita,


Es lo que usted necesita no rendirse,


Es lo que usted necesita a través de vida,


Seguir tus sueños,


Y hacer los hecho verdadero,


No dejas que errores le trae abajo,


No siempre necesita un plan,


Todo tu necesitas es a ti mismo y esperanza,


Esperanza es que tu necesitas


A combinar con confianza,


Un dia usted encontrara


Que vida es agradable no cruel


Esperanza! Esperanza! Esperanza!


Es todo lo que necesitas.


This was our Quarter 3 project and we picked a famous Spanish poet from a list that we were provided. We had to complete the sections of the project about the poet and myself. In the first task we had to write a short summary about the poet and the most important events of their life. In the next task we wrote a summary about our life and the most important events of it, then the third task was to find a poem of that person and make sure it's in Spanish and put it in the doc. We then write a reflection on the poet's poem. Then we make our own poem that relates top the poem.

Dia de los Muertos

Posted by Egypt Bracey in SPANISH 2 - Moran - E on Friday, January 22, 2016 at 1:53 pm

English Section


The person that I am writing about for Dia De Los Muertos is my great-grandmother, her name was Rosa-Lee Nixon. SHe is my grandmother’s mom and my mother’s grandma. She was 83 years old when she died. Rosa died in 2005 from a health condition that I don’t know about. She meant a lot to me because she was my great grandmother, and even though I didn’t really get to see her as often because she lived in another state, she was still very close to me. She held me when I was a couple days old, when we went to visit her in North Carolina. She was a very loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother to us and as rich as gold, that’s why I am making this skull and mask in remembrance of her. She showed the most care and love to each of her nine children. Rosa-Lee did whatever she could to support her family. She didn’t have too big of an impact on me, but she for sure did on my grandma. They were very close, and she named my grandmother after her. My sugar skull reflects my great grandmother because the mask and skull are mostly red. Her name is Rosa so I think of a rose every time I hear her name. On the sugar skull I put a ring because she was married and loved jewelry especially rings. On the back of the skull I tried to draw the flag of North Carolina because that is where she was born. Rosa took care of anybody, no matter if you were a stranger or not. I have red flower that resembles a rose for her name. She loved jewelry so I put glitter on the mask and skull to resemble diamonds and gold. Every year in August we celebrate her life and my great grandfather’s life. We have a memorial in remembrance of their lives. So it’s like I’m celebrating Day of the Dead, but without the skulls, and masks, and other decorations, just with my family and family friends and food. She was a blessing to us.


 Dia de los Muertos has opened my mind up about celebrating loved ones because it shows that I don’t have to just cry and be really sad that this person passed away. We can celebrate their life and their accomplishments to remember them. No matter what religion you are, you can celebrate Day of the Day because here in America we don’t really have a way of celebrating someone’s life when they die.







Spanish Eulogy

In the Dia de los Muertos project we picked a person who was very close to us and died, and made a sugar skull decorated with different colors and items that resembled them. This project was about celebrating someone's life when they died. We also made a mask that could resemble them with whatever colors we wanted. Dia de los Muertos means The Day of the Dead which is celebrated in Mexico and many other places where they celebrated the lives of children, animals, and most importantly loved ones who have pasted away.

Oral History ( James Johnson & Rosa Nixon) By Egypt Bracey

Posted by Egypt Bracey in AFRICAN AM HISTORY - Roy - X on Monday, May 18, 2015 at 11:47 pm

Abstract


In my interview with my grandfather on May 11, 2015 at 6:23pm, he talked about a place called the Black Bottom in West Philadelphia. When he was around 8 years old he moved from 60th & Callowhill to 38th & Fairmount ave. My grandfather said he moved down their because his mother and father broke up and she didn’t have any money to stay where they were at first so they moved down to the Black Bottom where it was predominantly African Americans which is the reason why it’s called the Black Bottom.


Research


In the source I found it tells where the Black Bottom is and what it is. The Black Bottom was a part of the city in West Philadelphia. It was referred to as Area 3 but is now known as University City. In the source it says “The Black Bottom was framed by 33rd and 40th Streets on the east and west, and Lancaster / Powelton and Curie Boulevard (University Avenue) on the north and south. The Black Bottom received its name from its location at the “bottom” of West Philadelphia.” In another article I read it talked about the wealthier white people lived towards the top of West Philly.  Both sources below are for the same topic of the Black Bottom.

Grandpa Interview
​

Abstract


In my grandmother’s interview on May 11, 2015 at 6:10pm, she discussed that she moved up to the North from North Carolina in 1966 during the Great Migration. She was born in Washington, NC and grew up in a predominantly black community. The stores weren’t good to shop at and her mother and father couldn’t really make a living down there. When my grandma turned 23 she was searching for a job so that she can support her mother. So she moved Philadelphia to search for a job, she then started a career as a nurse at the University of Pennsylvania hospital and made a living in Philadelphia.  


Research


The Great Migration was when about 6 million African Americans who lived in the South migrated North to make a better living between 1910 and 1970. The Great Migration had a huge impact on the United States because of how harsh the segregation laws were down South. Many African Americans needed to get a better job because the black codes took African Americans freedom away, even though they were free but it didn’t really seem like it. So they were racially segregated and jobs weren’t paying well enough. That's when 6 million African Americans started to migrate North, out West and Midwest. Black southerners wanted to escape the harsh economic conditions in the South and to be promised to have a better life and job in the North.

Im there was eight of us, there was nine of us but one of us died you know died. The school we went to was all Black school and umm there was no caucasians, and you know the principal was a good principal and we would ride the school bus to school and umm, we umm you know, we would go to school from 8:30 9 o’clock to 3 o’clock in the afternoon.

~Ms. Hertz Interview~

  • Who has been the biggest influence on your life?- “I say as I raised my own son, because I have a son at home I learned more and more about the impact that it had on my life and the types of opportunities that they gave me, support they gave me, and the amount of freedom they gave me as a child and I’m seeing that because my parents let me be who I wanted, they didn’t force me to do anything really that I didn’t want to do and gave me opportunities to pursue my dreams and passions. They really helped me become who I wanted to become today”.


  • What is your earliest childhood memory?- “I don’t know if this was my earliest childhood memory but, one memory that I had was when I was very young and is not necessarily a good one, my mom is diabetic, so when I was very little she had a very low blood sugar and got very sick. Me and my brother was home alone with her and I remember I could barely reach the top of the oven so I had to go in the refrigerator to pour her some juice. So it sticks in your brain and is hard to forget”.


  • Did you ever picture yourself in the position that you are now?- “ Not really because when I was your age or around college I maybe had an idea that I wanted to be a teacher, but I never would’ve guessed I would be teaching technology. Maybe art but I would of never guessed what I would be doing now.”


  • What made you get into more technology?- “ When I was at my very first school here in Philadelphia, I was made the computer lab teacher because I was the only one who knew how to work computers, I was scared at first but then found out I really liked it”.

~Ivana’s Interview~

  • What is your earliest childhood memory?- “My earliest childhood memory was when I was around 5 or 6, me and I use to live with my family like my cousins,uncles, or whatever. And um it was on Christmas eve night and my uncle told us to go upstairs, like my cousins and my siblings and we all did and he called us down a half an hour later and um when we went downstairs we saw a bunch of presents underneath the Christmas tree and I thought that was a good memory".
  • Who is your biggest influence?- “  My biggest influence would be my mother because I feel like she's been through alot these past 10 years. My sister was born disabled so I feel like she was struggling but she helped my sister and you know I just feel like she's a strong woman".

  • Where do you picture yourself in 10 years?-  "This also a hard question! I'm.not sure, I don't know. I don't even know what I wanna be when I get older but I know that I'm gonna have a car and house and hopefully a pet and a job. But I don't know".

1.Don’t let anything bring you down.

2.If someone is trying to discourage you ignore them.


                  3.Never let NOBODY tell you who you should be and how to live your life.  


                                    4.The environments that teens are a part of can influence them negatively or positively depending on the people that are in those environments.

The reason why I chose this topic is because I have a passion for hair and hair care. In my opinion I think hair care is very important and I think that every woman should know about it. What I hope people learn from this is how to take care of their hair so it can be healthy even though some people already know some of these facts, but can still gain more knowledge from this.
