(Jose Colon) Reproductive Health

Posted by Jose Colon in Anatomy and Physiology · Aziz · D on
​Reflection:
This video contains information regarding reproductive health and also what it means to high school seniors and other professionals, such as Christopher Johnson and Adrienne Williams. The most notable information can be found in each of the three interviews within the video. This information entails background on Planned Parenthood and also what reproductive health looks like today, the video even mentions that good reproductive health care incorporates people from all socioeconomic statuses. I myself contributed to the research, video editing, and interviewing. I would say my group and I did well with the interviewing process and finding people who all individually could contribute different points on reproductive health. The most meaningful part about creating this video to me was gathering information regarding what good reproductive Health Care looks like in today's world.

An efficient peer to peer mentorship program is something that is very challenging to organize. Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way, over the course of the nine months which I had to organize my very own peer to peer mentorship program. Sadly the mentorship program which I have organized with only two members who were actually fully able to participate isn’t what I expected it to become. All the beneficial principles still apply to the outcome of an efficient peer to peer mentorship program, members both mentees and mentors of the program still develop communication and self-advocacy skills. However, the approach we take to starting the program can ultimately determine its consistency and success. In other words the program I organized tended to have a majority of senior upperclassman participating as mentors, which was ideal at the time because these students had the most high school experience. However high school seniors at Science Leadership Academy At Beeber tend to have a full plate with applying to colleges, working on their capstone projects, and just keeping up with the usual load of school work they have. So I found that not many mentors had the time to meet weekly with their mentees. Another issue was that the way I started the program; it could have been much better in terms of the process in choosing mentors and mentees to participate. Originally mentors would have to go through mentor training to have a mentee but including this within the program is almost another program interiorly on its own. That being said organizing both these things at the same time made it more difficult to make sure both aspects were running efficiently. Lastly, when I was organizing this program I had two mentors, but I still couldn’t organize all these things by myself in time to start the program early on in the year. Starting the program early on in the year is probably another major aspect of an efficient mentorship program, this way mentors and mentees can get to know each other throughout the year not half way through it. The reason I was unable to start the program like this is that I had to first organize everything on my own, if I were to start over I would work on this during the summer leading up to the school year.

When I created the spiral of Theodorus I had to use a protractor to make my angles and sides the correct length and degrees (90 degrees). Than I had to prove my work so I could know it actually fit into the category of a Theodorus spiral. I made a middle point to start myself off and mad every triangle line up to that point. I used the Pythagorean theorem to check myself with my triangles which you can see above. I wanted to make my spiral as apart of a chameleon because it's found in nature with this Theodorus spiral.

Mr. Roy my recording isn't able to show up but I believe you have it in your mail from when Tsion sent it to you.

Abstract

Miriam Rodriguez, reflects on her experiences of being a young girl around the specific times of 1960-1975. During the time frame of the interview, she talks about how much protection was given to her from her family. Which consisted of a Mother, Father, and 9 children that were older than her. Miriam believes that because of this constant protection she was shielded from most of the segregation and discrimination that was going on around her. She also begins to talk about how she believes, most of segregation was happening because of the fear of the unknown and differences of others. She talks about how people chose to hate the things that they don’t understand and that she believes most people that didn’t fear them (African Americans ), probably grow up in a rather prejudices environment. Lastly she speaks about gangs and how her mother feared for her safety, from young black girls that were running up behind other girls ( whites and hispanics ) and cutting off their hair. She then concludes the interview by saying she would have never changed her races if given the changes to and that she loves her life the way it is.


Research


In my research, I found that most white people discriminated against black people just because they were different from them. And that this wasn’t a valid reason for discrimination against other races. Also because for many generations, white people were taught that black people are barley or not-human.

JC: Hello my name is Jose Colon and I’m here with..


MR: Miriam Rodriguez.

MR: Okay


JC: Um first question, how do you believe race has changed over the years and what does race mean to you?


MR: Well race is different naxalites, to me and as far as um. When you say race I guess people also think of prejudices, and I think it’s gotten some what better but, we still have a ways to go.


JC: hm, and um. Do you believe race has an effect on modern day society?


MR: Well that’s um, well a little bit I guess, I think I think it um, people are still holding grudges and some people are still afraid of differences and, well like I said I think it’s there to better it’s just. I dont know what to say haahaaaaaa.


JC: Um what do you recall from the civil rights movement or the effects from it.


MR: What I recall is that is um. What’s that President the tall skinny one.


JC/MR: Abraham Lincoln.


MR: Haahaaaahaaahaa Ahh, it was around the time he was president, and I think it was about freeing the slaves but I think it was, also about um other politics I can’t recall what they are right now.


JC: mm. Did you um, ever hear of like talk of Martin Luther king.


MR: Um sure.


JC: mm was it all like, was it negative or was it positive.


MR: No I just remember seeing, um he did a lot um marches and, a lot of speeches and I, I was young at the time I've heard it through more like history. Even tho it was in my history, you know in my time I was to young to be part of the march or anything but. He used to live around um Allegheny actually, he had a house around there. Around Stetson the high school. I don’t know if you remember that school or not. Back in the old neighborhood. But um, yeah.


JC: So what if any are your experiences with discrimination?


MR: I don’t believe I ever been discriminated against. Um, I was more in a time of like gangs there were a lot of gangs in my time. Zoloe gang, Waloed gang I’m sure their were other gangs but, but um.


JC: Were the gangs ever race related? Was it like a….


MR: They were probably were, I was never in a gang but they probably were race related. I was sheltered, I’m the youngest of eight children so, I was pretty much sheltered.


JC: And ah what are some of your educational experiences?


MR: Well I love school but um, I was very shy because, probably because of my speech impediment. But um I think the teachers just didn’t understand me and I camped, they camped passing me to the next grade level. So I didn’t learn how to read well and I taught myself to read actually. When I was older I think I was um, I forget how old I was but I was teaching myself how to read and I read a lot of books and thats how I learned how to read. Picking up things here and there.


JC: Have you ever felt as tho your education was being affected by your race.


MR: By what?


JC: By your race.


MR: No I think my education was affected more with my speech impediment and um being passed through grades. I don’t know if had to do with race or anything? There was a short period there where I want to a speech therapist. I enjoyed that a lot.


JC: Um has your race ever stop, wait has your race ever stopped you from doing something.


MR: No


JC: No


MR: My parents were very ahh, what do you call it um they encouraged me that, they were trying to get me out of my shell so they encouraged me a lot.


JC: When you were a child do you recall black people being tried differently or them doing anything differently at all.


MR: I don’t um, like I said I was really young, I was the youngest of eight. Um I’m sheltered. So um, I do remember ah around the time I was a young teenager there were black girls um cutting hair of people who had long hair. They would sneak up behind them and cut their hair. Um that was in the news a lot I think or in the neighborhood conversions that, that was going on. I remember my mom being scared and ah putting my hair up and all.


JC: Why do you believe some people were tried unfair?


MR: That was fear. Um I think it had to do with um fear of the not knowing and being raised by people who are pragides and it got passed on. And instead of trying to get to know someone, they um they let their fear take over I guess.


JC: If you had the option to would you change your race? And If you did would it for the better or the worse.


MR: I wouldn’t change my race.


JC: ahah


MR: I mean I enjoyed my life my parents and eight kids old then you I had a great time.


JC: Thank you.

Artist Statement

I chose to create this sculpture because it seemed to be unique. Unique because it hasn’t been done before in the way I designed it and also because for me it shows my passion for education. This sculpture shows my passion for education because everything that I have learned or studied has been put into a school bag and has been cared around with me. And know I am choosing to create a sculpture out of it.
