For my quarter 4 project, I choose image editing again. This is the second time I am doing this project in my media design class. But, I decided to tell another story with two different pictures. This time instead of african roots it was about immigration. I edit it a boat and an airplane together because this is the way how immigrants travel to different countries. Also, depending on how you got to your destination overseas you can relate to the picture. So starting this project I thought it was going to be easy again, since it was image editing and I only had to submit two pictures but once I got to checkpoint 2, 3, and 4, I began to use photoshop where I had to  editing the two pictures together and save it as a png etcc. But, midpoint in the project I changed to Pixrl because that was in my chromebook so itwas going to be easier.Then, I came to realize that it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be because it was just like Photoshop on a different brand. Some failures I faced during this project was that I forgot along the way how to use photoshop so it was hard to manupilate a little with Pixrl.

So,  it took me back to square one and  it was a little hard for me to edit the two pictures and Pixrl functions a little different then Photoshop. Also, the pictures came out with one background in it unlike when I used Photoshop so I had to go back there to edit again. Some success during this was the story behind the picture and during my presentation I could express myself and explain the picture clearly. This project inspired me to tell another story in the same manner. During this project I did not learn anything about myself really.  If I were fortunated enough to do this project again I will not change anything I will only explore Photoshop and pixrl first and choose a different story. One, important advice that I have for the future people doing this project is that they should explore Photoshop and pixlr first to know what it can do, so they wouldn’t struggle at the end. Finally the tools I used was the magic wand, color changing, and eyedrop tool.

For my final benchmark I choose to focus on tobacco and public health. But first What is public health? Public health is the science of protecting and improving the health of people and their communities. And what is tobacco? Tobacco is an agricultural crop, most commonly used to make cigarettes. It is grown all over the world and supports a billion-dollar industry. I decided to focus on tobacco because I felt like all i knew about it was that it was bad and a legal thing, also everyone everywhere smoke. I also know too many people that smoke all I can tell them is that smoking is bad stop smoking but I couldn’t say why. But after this project I learned that the regular cigarette might be safer then the new tools to smoke tobacco. I also know that people think they look cool while smoking by they don’t look really look cool. They are just putting their life in danger. Also the rhular cigarette reduces your life about 11 minute, but the new tools like hookah etcc is high in tar and might be high in nicotine also the chemicals in tobacco. Nicotine is the addictive thing in all cigarettes. Also we all know that smoking is bad I don’t understand why a lot of people still smoke. And why do government make it illegal.

Why did you choice to be a teacher?

This is a very good story I was a Sociologies In a Spanish country in a Latin american country. I got a job in st Diego I worked like a social worker in Diego like homeless family they were living in a out sick like in canyons. I was working with them till I moving into an apartment with someone from Mexico. In part of that I help set up an after school program where I was touring kids. These times were the best part of my day I had fun with the kids I was good at it I felt like I really belong here. At that time I was not married my name was Kara Mullarky. I was trying to decide weather to go back to Philadelphia and go back to school and get teaching degrees and teach kids. But in a second thought that will be a big change and I really love it here but I did not think I had a future here. I was very very poor at that time. One day I went to the library on my way there I said to myself that if I were to become a teacher it will have to be a sign from god. “When I walked in the library I saw a book the title says that Ms. Mullarky can’t be in room one o one today.  The name Mullarky is not a name like. When I saw that I just said to myself it is a sign that I should be a teacher”.

What or who inspired you to come to SLA @ Beeber to teach.

“ Mr.Roy is my husband best friend he is the one who inspired me to come and teach here”. He is the one who told me that he really love it here and the kids are very very smart and that they really want to do work. I wanted to work with kids that wanted to learn. That is the very reason why I choose to teach ESOL or ELL kids because I know that they really want to learn. For example you, you want to learn.
