Jade Harris: Q4 Benchmark final submission

Posted by Jade Harris on Thursday, May 24, 2018 at 5:58 am
For my final project, My group and I decided to make a PSA about teen pregnancy. Within the video contains a skit that is symbolic to the way society treats teen pregnancy, along with multiple facts and resources for anyone who is interested in getting information. I chose this topic because throughout my 4 years of high school, I have seen so many of peers struggle with unhealthy relationships, and how to take care of themselves. The lack of education that is given to us, I think we are blessed to have survived this far. In the group, provided information, wrote part of the script and directed/edited the video. I did well with communicating with my group and giving/taking opinions on what could be done. The most meaningful part for me was creating the skit in the beginning of the video because it was so much fun to make with my peers, and also had a deeper meaning to it so we were able to provide depth within the PSA.

Jade Harris, Saphira Paul-Fils, Hadja Diallo Capstone Project

Posted by Jade Harris in Senior Capstone · Schaar · ILP/TFI/CAP on Friday, May 18, 2018 at 9:33 am

What is beauty? We based our capstone project on beauty because it is such a powerful word in today's generation. There are many definitions of beauty, but people still have the mindset that beauty is based upon physical appearance i.e. eurocentric beauty standards and not who you are as person. We wanted to give a visual representation of what beauty means. We interviewed 5 people from different countries from Science leadership Academy at Beeber to show the beauty standards around the world. We wanted to learn what the definition of beauty meant in different countries, and how people from different countries expressed beauty and what made them feel beautiful.  We came up with 5 questions about beauty to ask. These questions were, “Where are you from?, What’s your definition of beauty? What’s your countries idea of beauty? What is the difference between your country’s beauty and America’s? Which standard of beauty do you find yourself conforming to?” We then asked them to bring clothing or jewelry that defined beauty from their country. To broaden our point of view, we asked two gentlemen to give their perspective on beauty. Given the fact that beauty isn’t just within a person, it can also be a place or thing, we also explored the Art Museum of Philadelphia. Each one of the five people say the word Beauty in their language. For the final project, we created a video that we wanted to share with the world.

The major thing that I learned is the transmitters in our brains. The levels of opioid released in your brain when you eat can change based on if you are obese or not. I found it interesting how we can feel "good" when we first taste unhealthy food but once its processed our emotions change.

Oil spill

Posted by Jade Harris in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on Friday, January 19, 2018 at 6:41 pm

The video is about four girls, Saphira, Hadja, Yari, and I doing work for a class and they here on the news about oil derailing into the schuylkill river. All of are concerned and ask questions like what is the government going to do to solve this, and how much does it cost to clean the oil spill. After that, we decide that we should do something to raise awareness to the public, so we created a music video. I agreed to do this topic because I was able to relate it to the BP oil spill in 2010. I remember that happened I was 10 years old and scared/scared about what this meant for all the organisms that lived in the ecosystem. Also, with the most recent oil spill from the pipelines in North Dakota it was very frustrating to hear because it was so many things that were wrong about that situation involving the people and the environment.

For this project I worked really hard in everything. I was apart of researching and finding information to put into the video. I also created the skit and wrote the song all by myself. When it came down to the video I edited it and published it onto YouTube. In this project I think that I created the song very well, I’m proud of the how much effort I put into it. What I would differently is record and edit a day earlier so I didn’t have to panic about finishing it. Also, I would change my group because I feel like I worked the hardest and cared the most about it. The most meaningful part was what I learned and how what we do to the Earth will impact it for better or worst. We only have one Earth, so we should take care of it.

Reflecting on this article, I wonder how many more environmental justice issues I don't know about. This issue is literally life threatening and yet I'm just find out about this. Our politicians and the people need to take action to what is going on and not just try and silence it. If lead is such a big problem then we need to treat it as such. I find it disappoint how we vote and put so much trust in these politicians because they have the power to do something, but they are choosing not to. It's actually terrifying.

Natural Disasters & Earth System: Flood in Sierra Leone

Posted by Jade Harris in Environmental Science · Aziz · C on Monday, September 18, 2017 at 10:24 pm
Natural Disasters & Earth Systems
Reflection:

The Earth is made up of four spheres. The systems are Atmosphere, Biosphere, Geosphere, and Hydrosphere. The Atmosphere is the mass of air that is around the Earth to protect it. Biosphere is responsible for maintaining life. Geosphere is the Earth's crust and matter/land. Lastly, hydrosphere is all water that makes up the Earth.

Each system plays a role in Natural Disasters. When researching about Sierra Leone I found out that when system is affected by climate change it can trigger another system to react. For example, the heavy rains (hydrosphere) in Sierra Leone caused over saturated grounds which triggered a mudslide. Understanding environmental science can cause awareness to what human activities effects our Earth systems. To create a sustainable future I think that it can be possible reduce all the human activities (i.e. mining, construction) then that can benefit the systems.

For this benchmark we decided to paint the walls on the second. Based on the testimonies of other students and stuf they agree as well, "The walls look bland." said by 10th grader Migdaila Ocasio. We chose two colors, Cheerful tangerine and wisteria blue, out of the colors students and staff did a survey on which colors they like. Based on the survey it was a tie between both so we decided to use both with an accent wall, Snow cloud white. Since we are unable to paint during the time of this project it will be done during the summer. For the mean time, we researched how the colors affect us and what we need to have. In the research we found that the color blue will give stimulation for creativity and a state of calm, relaxation. It increases communication, logic and efficiency. But, if it’s too much it can encourage the feelings of depression. And with the color of orange can cause emotions of hunger, warmth, security, and fun. It stimulates enthusiasm and increases oxygen to the brain that you energy and increases brain activity. But it is important to be cautious with the use of this color because it can also causes frustration and immaturity. As for the color white it can give a sense of clarity, purity, and hygiene but with the this color it can cause you to feel unfriendly.
The prices for the supplies:
Cheerful tangerine- $33.98 per gal.
Wisteria blue- $31.98 per gal.
Snow cloud white- $33.98 per gal.

Merian Campbell (Harris, Jade)

Posted by Jade Harris in AFRICAN AM HISTORY - Roy - E on Friday, May 22, 2015 at 3:03 pm

JH; Hey I’m here with my grandma, Merian Campbell and umm so, where were you born?

MC: In Whiteville, North Carolina.

JH: So, do you think you faced racism more in North Carolina than in Philadelphia?  

MC: I-I faced it more in Philadelphia I think.

JH: What makes you think that?

MC: Well, it’s really hard to say actually- because being born in the 50s um whenever a whole lot of racism was going on, I wasn’t around it um... I wasn’t around it. Only when we went into the city. And, nobody actually bothered us, we had no problems even though we wasn’t allowed to go in the restaurants and sit down and stuff like that, but that didn’t matter because we never went to restaurants.

JH: Did you ever signs- segregation signs that said whites only and blacks only?

MC: Uh,  I’ve saw signs that said um, whites only bathroom at the bus station, um basically that’s it.

JH: Did you understand like,  why did anybody ever tell why they had those signs?

MC: Not really, it was just that we don’t go in that bathroom.

JH: So, Jim Crow laws never really impacted you.

MC: No, nope.

JH: Well, what year did you come to Philadelphia?

MC: I came to Philadelphia in 1970.

JH: So, segregation was over by that time, so what racism- did anybody say anything?

MC: Uh, Segregation was over at that time, but where we came from schools did not mix until 1970.

JH: So, besides black people in your school were there any other races.

MC: No.

JH: You told me that there were Native Americans in your um… near your hometown. They didn’t go to your school or anything?

MC: They had their own school.

JH: Did you ever talk, like were you ever friends with someone outside your race.

MC: Uh, nope.

JH: Well-

MC: Well Native Americans yes, I’m sorry. With some Native Americans, but that was it, that was only because they lived in the community.  

JH: Did any other- any whites live in your community, was your neighborhood diverse?

MC: Nope. All Black. Even it was segregated, I mean, the Native Americans lived in one section of the community and the blacks in the other. The Native Americans and the Blacks, they did you know socialize.

JH: So, they didn’t like hate each other?

MC: No.

JH: Were there any racist remarks to each other?

MC: No.

JH: Well, in my school there is a lot of self-segregation, why do you think that is?

MC: I really don’t know, maybe because they think they’re different.

JH: Well, I know there was self-segregation in your school, but you told me about our uncle, who went to an all white school. How do you think that was for him?

MC: That was when they first started mixing the schools, and he went and it was only a few blacks, uh he faced uh racism. I didn’t, because I didn’t go there.

JH: Did- Did he ever come home and like was angry or upset about what they said?

MC: At first, um, maybe the first month he had a pretty rough time, uh he didn’t really talk about it a lot it was just uh I know he got in trouble a couple of times, over somethings that was said to him.


Abstract

My grandmother, Merian Campbell, told what it was like for her in school before they stop segregated school.  She also talked about my uncle going to an interracial school and the struggles he had to face. Since, she had a brother she got to see how different the education was between white and colored school.



Research

North Carolina, though not one of the major states during civil rights movement, still faced segregation. In 1954, public schools were determined unconstitutional for being segregated. But in North Carolina the desegregated slowly. In fact, Greensboro school was the first to agree with the Brown vs Board of education laws. “In Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, a federal court ruled that busing could be used as a tool to help integrate the public schools,” which was attempt to desegregate schools.

What are your expectations for your personal future?


"I just want to be happy when I get older like right now, to me since I'm like a teenager and I'm just figuring out that the physical things are like not what actually make you happy I just want to be successful when I get older and be able to look back and be happy with myself and what I've done."


Well, what makes you happy?


"A lot of people make me happy, I like to tell myself that shopping and money  and material things make me make happy, but when it comes down to it, that's not really true like it's more like positive influences make me happy."


Does your personal live affect your academic life?


"Yeah I think my personal life heavily affects my academic life because usually if I'm going through something which is like all the time then, my grades will really suffer so... yeah."

Well, Indigo what is your earliest memory?


“My earliest memory would have to, - probably in North Carolina, me and you, and yetta (our grandma) watching us running around in the grass, and playing in the sand, and riding on fourwheelers and things like that’s probably my earliest memory and we about 4 or 5.


Can you tell me a story about your name?


“My mom was watching a movie, well our mom was watching a movie and she heard the name Indigo, it was a Spike Lee movie and she just kinda said  when she have a daughter she’s  going to name her Indigo, and she got pregnant with me and that’s what she named me.”


Well, where do you see yourself in 10 years? 20?


“In 10 years I see myself done with school and starting my career as a child psychiatrist and an entrepreneur in Fashion, clothing. I see myself having a family and just being happy and being taken care of. In 20 years, I would hope that I would be so settled that I wouldn’t have to work anymore, that I would be retired and my kids would be taken care of and my family would still be happy and live a happy life.”

Women's self esteem

Posted by Jade Harris in TECH 1 - Hertz - a2 on Tuesday, January 20, 2015 at 9:31 am

I choose this infographic because I think it’s important to raise awareness on women’s views on social media. I think that we should prevent this for the next generation of girls and let them love themselves for who they are. This is to show that we as a society need to encourage each others looks instead of just saying there is one type of beautiful.

End cyberbullying

Posted by Jade Harris in TECH 1 - Hertz - a2 on Thursday, December 11, 2014 at 2:06 pm
Cyberbullying is becoming a problem espcially in America today. 95% of teens who witnessed bullying on social media report that others, like them, have ignored the behavior. In order for cyberbullying or bullying in general to end we have to stop being bystanders and speak up. More than half young people that were surveyed claimed they never reported it or told their parents. Silencing your voice only helps the bully to continue to keep on bully you. So, next time you see someone being bullied say something because it can make a difference.
