Queren Villegas Capstone/ Making Music
My passion for the art of music has always been a part of me, however, it was not until I was fourteen that I truly composed my first lyrics and kept writing up to now. This year I really wanted to challenge myself and combine skills I have and are not necessarily my forte in the area of music. Although singing and writing lyrics have always been a thing of my own, composing an instrumental is not easy for me. It took me making three soundtracks before coming to the one that felt right. However, the feeling of producing my own sound was beyond words. Having to put so much effort, along so much frustration it was a proud day.
The lyrics themselves changed too as recording took multiple days. I had my area set up in which I worked. A small microphone, my laptop open and my lyrics on paper taped to my desk. It was my safe place, in which I spent hours and hours on end. Completing the song was a tough one, but definitely worth. Every hour, every minute was me doing something I love. Seeing the proud face of those close to me when they heard it made me blush a pink stronger than that of a strawberry. Making a song all on my own has been a vision of mine since middle school and finally accepting that I am good at what I do is forever a process I will never forget and cherish

Reflection: We specifically looked into how stress affects the body which happen to occur in the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic Nervous System was complicated and complex to understand at first. But after researching and completing the project, I learned a lot about the the sympathetic nervous system and its root the central nervous system and its sub-unit. I learned about neurotransmitters, hormones, how the sympathetic system helps us and affects us with stress. My group worked together and communicated throughout the process making it easy to understand the topic and get things done well. What I now wonder is how the parasympathetic system which is the contrast as to explain system of the sympathetic nervous system.

The process of making this infographic come together was really fun. Due to quarter one's benchmark and the research I was required to do, I had beforehand knowledge on the lead issue taking place in Philadelphia. This assignment helped me further my understanding of how big the issue truly is and how badly it's affecting Philadelphia and it's residents. Lead is a critical issue that needs attention to save future generations from the sad setbacks it has already caused kids of today, such as having difficulty speaking and developing in their growth. Causing for many to require therapy for these issues. It is clear it has worsened because of both our city and it's residents. I learned a lot about lead through the process of completing the reading and collaborating with other classmates to present so said information in a composed way. The article was eye-opening on such issue that much more should be aware of.
Natural Disasters and Earth Systems (Wild Fires)
Researching wildfires turned out to be really interesting. Through the research, I learned how much volcanoes, lightning and the different kinds of lightning contribute to wildfires. Meaning I learned something new and enjoyed discussing this subject with my group. As we all had an interest in the topic and worked very well together. Through this mini project, my group and I came up with so many cool ideas we look forward to implying in our future projects. I appreciated this mini project as it was a good way to only get a flow of how our table works together but also talk about something we were interested in.

La Poesía Española_Q3 Individual Project #1
In this project we explored the world of poetry in Spanish. We explored the poetry of historical poets in Latin culture, as well as got the chance to create a poem in Spanish ourselves. Which for me was amazing, considering I write poetry all the time for fun. Writing one in Spanish was a fun experience that got me into writing poetry in Spanish after the project was over.
Travel Project (Commercial)
During this project we were overall in charge of creating a Flying company, creating packages we believed would attract the tourist to fly with us. This was an overall fun project, that thought me a lot of how much work goes into flying companies and all the work they have to go through in order to create Trip deals and multi people flying packages at economic cost. Finding good quality yet cheap locations, as well as are in charge of other things such as transportation and the time it takes to get from one location to another and more small details as such. Overall requiring a lot of research and time.
