Nahja Lewis Senior Capstone Project

This is a picture of 22 pillows and care packages I made for a local women’s shelter.
This is a picture of 22 pillows and care packages I made for a local women’s shelter.
The idea that I had for my Senior Capstone was turning an idea that I had into something bigger and better. The.Pillowtalk was an idea that I had for a pillow company with my target market being college students or people that just wish to add an accessory to their home decor. However, as I worked throughout the year, I had the idea of making a care package for those in need. I experienced some difficulties along the process, for example, finding what materials work best for
pillows, how to incorporate lining, the best way to create a care package, and making sure the pillows look presentable. I had the opportunity to create pillows and care packages for 22 women. 

I am most proud of the process of making the packages. Cutting fabric, making sure it was accurate, stuffing them with poly fiber filling, and hand sewing them closed was a long process. However, I received a lot more practice with one thing that I consider a hobby. I am also proud to have done something positive for others. In the future, I hope to improve on my skill while also doing a great deed.

Q2 Benchmark: Light Pollution

Posted by Nahja Lewis in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on Friday, January 19, 2018 at 6:17 pm
https://youtu.be/dy6bf1Yvd0w

​In the following video, we are giving a public service announcement about light pollution. We explain exactly what it is, give examples, and make suggestions on how we can reduce its damage. I chose this topic because I was not sure about what it was. It is one of the least discussed forms of pollution. It was interesting to learn how simple structures, such as street lights, can cause more harm than help.


I was responsible for contributing to the script and finding out what information would be important to put in the PSA. I also helped record certain parts of the video.

I believe we did well with finding useful information. We also tried to make sure that everyone was satisfied with the script and didn't use any misleading information. If I could change anything, I would add in a visual of the examples and make it more entertaining.  


The most meaningful part of the experience was finding the research. We had to become experts on the topic. In addition, we had to retain the information to explain it.

Natural Disasters and Earth Systems- Earthquakes

Posted by Nahja Lewis in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 at 9:50 am
Learning about earthquakes helped me understand how earth systems affect each other and how one natural disaster can cause another. An example was earthquakes. Once the tectonic plates move, they can possibly cause a tsunami. Learning about these disasters can help us know what we should if they should occur. It can help us what we can look forward to and what could possibly happen. To ensure we are safe, we should always have a safety plan.

What Is Important to Colleges Today? Infographic by Nahja

Posted by Nahja Lewis in TECH 1 - Hertz - e1 on Wednesday, January 21, 2015 at 6:51 pm
​I chose this topic because I wanted to learn about what is important to colleges. As a teenager in high school, college is a topic that I will have to consider soon. I hope people learn the important factors to getting into a college and consider the information when they need it.

For my Physics project, I had to decide what I thought would be the best definition of me. Family is very important to me. I have always considered myself a family person. I feel that family is what helps me be a better person. Family will give me the best advice. I can be positive that they won’t tell me anything that would be harmful to me because I know they have my best interest at heart.


There have been many times where I needed advice from my family, and their advice proved to be helpful. For example, when I was in seventh grade, some of my family members motivated me to keep my head up and do the best I can when I wasn't doing too well in school. Without my family, I would not know what to do in some situations. They up build and encourage me to do my best. Family, in my opinion, makes me a better person.

This sculpture does include dolls. However, the purpose of them is much more essential. The display shows a family at a table. That is my message; a loving family member is one way to describe me. I value the importance of family because they are always there for me. I know that if I talk to my family, they won’t deliberately say anything to hurt me because they have my best interest at heart.

Digital Citizenship

In tech class, we talked about digital citizenship. The picture I chose has a picture of a person typing with the caption "Being polite is the best when online". In the book lol...omg, we talked about many cases where people made terrible mistakes while online. While online, politeness is essential. If a person isn't, they could make a serious mistake and regret it later.

Group One Video Project

Posted by Nahja Lewis in ENGLISH 1 - Zeller - D on Thursday, December 4, 2014 at 8:52 am
​Nahja

The Express Myself! Video Project was a great opportunity for me to really reflect on who I think I am. I believe that people, no matter the amount, want to be known for something. It is similar to what Tan Le said in a TED talk. Your profession doesn't necessarily define you rather who you think you are and what drives you as a person.

My video includes a lot of “selfies”, something that I take a lot of daily. One major takeaway from this is who I think I am. I never actually thought about who I was and how I defined myself. It was a self-evaluation. I learned more about the things that I like and what makes me “me.” I am a young, motivated, smart person who is a sports fan and a family lover. This project has helped me to find the true definition of me- Nahja.

In this video I try to express a side of myself that I most people wouldn't know. I show that I'm not just the silly wannabe nerd that you see in school, I try to show that I'm a family person who likes to watch anime and is an all around person. In order to fully understand my video you must first accept the idea of self expression because in this world not every one do. From this project I have learned that for every person there is more than meets the eye. Also that everyone have more than one side and that we should accept them for who they are.

Shawn

Summary: I did this video for an English Assignment. In this video, I express myself, telling what I like a what type of person I am.


In order to fully understand my video, I need to pay attention to how I am describing myself. For example, if I want everyone know that I serious person, I would include how much seriously I take school and my education. By show scores I got on test and quizzes, people can see that must had study hard for that assignment and must have pay attention in class. Also, I  would want to include what I like to do during my spare time. If people want to get to know me, they can like at my video and see that I like chess, reading, working-out, and play video whenever I have the chance.

Syed Jamil

To fully know my video, I need to fully the understand purpose of making the video and what my peers and others will get out watching this video. By completing project, I’d learned that it’s important for others to know the full complexity of one’s self.I  think  people  express  themselves  with  their  personalities. People   express  themselves  with  their  personalities  so  that  they  would  be  able to  find  some  similar  traits  or  interests  and  potentially  find  some connections  with  people. We  express  ourselves  so  that  people  can  get  a  general  idea  of  our interests  and  personal  thoughts  about  certain  things. By  getting  more chances  to express  yourself,  the  more  that  people  will  get  to  know  about  you  and  that  might  lead  to  having  possible  connection.
