Q4 Benchmark Submission

Posted by Saraa Fadl in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on Wednesday, May 23, 2018 at 10:55 pm
​ For this project, we decided to talk about nutrition in aspects of infant health, how much sugar is really in our foods and how dieting can affect our bodies. We chose this because we felt like America struggles with realising the true facts of fatty foods and how they are made. The most meaningful part of the PSA was having to talk to someone who works on nutrition, specifically infant health. She was able to talk about her knowledge of nutrition in pregnant women and infants. My job was to complete an interview with someone and we wanted to be different and use the information that we got from our interviewee and pick important information related to our video. If we were to do this differently I think we should've started out with an outline of what the final submission should look like instead of jumping into many things.

    Saraa Fadl Senior Capstone

    Posted by Saraa Fadl in Senior Capstone · Schaar · ILP/TFI/CAP on Friday, May 18, 2018 at 11:47 pm
    For my Senior capstone, I want to create and implement a year-long girls soccer practice because I want to make a change in my Sudanese community. This initiative would be a Sudanese girls version of Starfinder, a soccer-based youth development program that I have been part of for the past four years. Playing soccer, and being part of Starfinder has had a big impact on my life, and I would like to pass what I have learned onto other girls in my community. I am a soccer girl and I have been that way for most of my life. However, I am one of the very few Sudanese girls that actively plays soccer all year long. I want more girls to have the same opportunity to play and benefit from the sport the way that I have. 
             To successfully complete this project, I have the help of my best friend, Razan. She is also a Sudanese American girl who plays soccer for her high school team. My goals for this project are to teach young girls the discipline and life skills that can be learned through soccer, and most importantly, how to have fun! Through this project I realized that it took a number of people to make things happen; to make a change. I also learned that there should be alternatives if something doesn't go the right way. Overall, I feel like I'm close to achieving my goals of teaching my girls how to play soccer.

    Alzheimer's Disease

    Posted by Saraa Fadl in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on Wednesday, April 4, 2018 at 10:54 pm
    This project was to help us understand the importance of the structure and function of the nervous system. In my group, we studied Alzheimer's Disease. This disease involved the brain. We learned that over time enzymes and proteins can stop functioning which can lead to major problems like loss of memory, lack of ability to do certain tasks, such as eating, speaking, or showering. This disease may be genetic but there are other factors that scientists are trying to come up with to try and find a cure. We decided on this disease because we knew that this is a very common disease in this country and one of the top causes of American deaths. It also doesn't have a cure which we thought was interesting.​

    Necesita Viajar Con Nosotros

    Posted by Saraa Fadl in SPANISH 2 - Moran - A on Thursday, April 21, 2016 at 6:57 pm
    In this project, we were given the chance to become a traveling agency for any Spanish-speaking country that we have chosen. For my group, we chose Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. ​We explored the Dominican culture and the different places there. Also, the project consists of a brochure which was a physical component, a powerpoint, and commercial. The information includes the flight details, the hotel you would stay in, the places that you would visit, and the transportation that the city provides. I liked that there was a lot to learn about the country and see why it's so known to the United States.

    La Poesía Española

    Posted by Saraa Fadl in SPANISH 2 - Moran - A on Thursday, April 21, 2016 at 3:19 pm
    For this project, we had the opportunity to choose a Spanish poet and research a poet that we feel that would relate to us and the poem. I actually liked this poem because I felt confident in what I wrote. I chose the topic of women and how they are treated in general. I felt that I was able to talk about my perspective and other girl perspectives in this poem. In this poem I was able to use the Spanish components that was reviewed in quarter 3.

Más adelante, ella es en otro relación pero eso no último largo. Ella fue una alcohólica y murió después que cae en el calle y hospitalizó por neumonía.   



    Mi Biografía


    Me llamo Saraa Fadl. Tengo dieciséis años y yo voy a la Academia de Liderato Ciencias a Beeber. Yo nací en Chicago, Illinois y criar en Filadelfia, Pennsylvania. Yo vivo en un mundo en el cual mujeres son  menor que hombres y tienen menos libertad. Agradecidamente,mi padres soportan mi futuro cuando se trata de elegido mi carrera. Yo cambio mi carrera menudo y ellos aún soportarme. Hasta ahora, yo quiero ser un pediatra para terapia intensiva. Muchos padres de mi amigas los obligan a en una carrera. Yo siento eso no está bien y debió cambiar.  



    El/La Poeta: Julia de Burgos

    A Julia De Burgos


    Ya las gentes murmuran que yo soy tu enemiga

    porque dicen que en verso doy al mundo mi yo.

    Mienten, Julia de Burgos. Mienten, Julia de Burgos.

    La que se alza en mis versos no es tu voz: es mi voz

    porque tú eres ropaje y la esencia soy yo; y el más

    profundo abismo se tiende entre las dos.

    Tú eres fría muñeca de mentira social,

    y yo, viril destello de la humana verdad.

    Tú, miel de cortesana hipocresías; yo no;

    que en todos mis poemas desnudo el corazón.

    Tú eres como tu mundo, egoísta;

    yo no; que en todo me lo juego a ser lo que soy yo.

    Tú eres sólo la grave señora señorona; yo no,

    yo soy la vida, la fuerza, la mujer.

    Tú eres de tu marido, de tu amo; yo no;

    yo de nadie, o de todos, porque a todos, a

    todos en mi limpio sentir y en mi pensar me doy.

    Tú te rizas el pelo y te pintas; yo no;

    a mí me riza el viento, a mí me pinta el sol.

    Tú eres dama casera, resignada, sumisa,

    atada a los prejuicios de los hombres; yo no;

    que yo soy Rocinante corriendo desbocado

    olfateando horizontes de justicia de Dios.

    Tú en ti misma no mandas;

    a ti todos te mandan; en ti mandan tu esposo, tus

    padres, tus parientes, el cura, el modista,

    el teatro, el casino, el auto,

    las alhajas, el banquete, el champán, el cielo

    y el infierno, y el que dirán social.

    En mí no, que en mí manda mi solo corazón,

    mi solo pensamiento; quien manda en mí soy yo.

    Tú, flor de aristocracia; y yo, la flor del pueblo.

    Tú en ti lo tienes todo y a todos se

    lo debes, mientras que yo, mi nada a nadie se la debo.

    Tú, clavada al estático dividendo ancestral,

    y yo, un uno en la cifra del divisor

    social somos el duelo a muerte que se acerca fatal.

    Cuando las multitudes corran alborotadas

    dejando atrás cenizas de injusticias

    quemadas, y cuando con la tea de las siete virtudes,

    tras los siete pecados, corran las multitudes,

    contra ti, y contra todo lo injusto

    y lo inhumano, yo iré en medio de

    ellas con la tea en la mano.



    Creo que eso este poema es muy bien. Yo siento esto el poema entendes a mi vida. Es para como mujeres son tratan en sus vidas cotidianas. Yo conozco eso hay mujeres sudanés eso son forzado a cosas diferentes. Por ejemplo, ellas tienen quedan silenciosas de no hablando su propio opinión aún si está irrespetuosa. Como si esto fuera poco, ellos no dejan hacer cosas incuestionables. Explica, ellos no poden jugar esportes o cantar y bailar en público. Yo siento eso este poema ayudas entienden los temas de feminismo y igualdad.             




    ¿Debería hacerlo?


    Yo, como una mujer joven sudanés, me cuesta sobrevivir en la sociedad corrupta.

    Los estereotipos y comentarios que contaminen el aire.

    Del “quedate en la casa y limpia” a la “vas a casarte después de la preparatoria”.

    Eso de verdad nos ofende.

    Limpiar y ser reclamado de un desconocido es nuestro propósito en la vida?   

    Yo no quiero esa vida.

    Eso no es como yo quiera que nosotros estamos retratadas.

    ¿Por qué yo no puedo jugar fútbol durante todo el dia, volver a casa, y dormir?

    ¿Por que estoy forzada a parecer como una señora?

    ¿Y qué significa eso?

    Ellos nos dicen que seamos uno mismo pero sin reír o hablar con voz alta.

    “Tomas tus propias decisiones.”

    Cuando todo que ellos hacen es decirme que perseguir en el futuro.

    ¿Estoy permitida decir no?

    ¿Que pasa si yo quiero ignorar estos dichos?

    ¿Qué pasa si yo quiero hacer una diferencia?

    ¿Debería hacerlo?

    ¿Ellos me castigarán o me premiarán?

    Yo nunca sabré.

    Yo necesito pensar.

    ¿Pero lo haré?

    Reflection


    I actually loved this project when it comes to the criteria, recording, and dressing up. My job was anchor but I was also responsible on editing/submitting the project. We decided to make a our news channel in NYC, New York and made a slogan and everything. It actually looked like a real news channel. I feel proud with the video that I created. However, I think that if we had more time, it would've been perfect for my group.

    Día de los Muertos

    Posted by Saraa Fadl in SPANISH 2 - Moran - A on Friday, January 22, 2016 at 1:56 pm

    This project is based on a traditional Spanish holiday. My project is about the passing of my uncle which happened about a year ago. This project contains a slideshow, a picture of my skull that I designed, a reflection in English, and a Spanish eulogy.


    The person that passed away is my uncle. His name was Khalid Al-Tahir and he was 45 years old when he passed away. He was with my other uncle and grandmother and they were all in one car. They were on their way home from the masjid. They prayed the sunrise prayer, so it was still somewhat dark. They were at a red light and when it finally turned green, they went and all of a sudden a huge truck came speeding into them. They were rushed into the hospital; my uncle had a head injury, my grandmother had a broken arm as well as a head injury and finally my uncle was in a coma. Soon enough, we found out that my uncle and grandmother were released from the hospital however,my other uncle was still in a coma. Everyday we would get the same news, the news of him not waking up. It stressed my mother out because she was in America and it is very difficult to go to Saudi Arabia. About a month later, we found out he was pronounced dead. It hurts at the thought that the person I talk to is actually dead. A part of me didn’t want to believe it.A part of me thought that he was still alive so he’s still asleep. But reality hit me, and I thought that it was a time where I needed to accept it.


    This person meant a lot to me because he was very nice and always showed empathy for others. With him living halfway across the world, we managed to keep in touch and always talk about things that were going on in our lives. I’ve decided to create this sugar skull in remembrance of my uncle. I thought that creating the sugar skull could help me bring back memories of the both of us. I didn’t actually see him face-to-face since it wouldn’t really work out. I am living in the United States while he was living with his family in Saudi Arabia. There was a time where my mom told me that we were finally going to Saudi Arabia and in my head I say, “Wow, I actually get to see my uncle and my aunt for the first time.” When I finally go there, I find out that he went to Sudan to see his family. I was very disappointed. Later on, when we went to Sudan, he came to visit us, however, I don’t remember seeing him. My mother would tell me that he visited and she introduced me to him, but I don’t remember. Now, all that I see from him is a picture of him on social media or from my aunt. Also, my aunt and mother would tell me stories about him. The stories are actually beneficial to me in general. It made me think about how he sees life and how he went on with his life when he was alive. Also, I thought about how his family reacted when the doctors told them he was gone. It must’ve felt heartbreaking. In my head, I said thank god I’m not there because I wouldn’t know how to deal with it. He was the first person that had died and that I knew personally.


    So, for my sugar skull, I decided to put the two flags of the countries that he lived in, Sudan (his birth country) and Saudi Arabia (where he lived with his family). His favorite color was brown so I colored the sugar skull brown. I also wanted to draw a ring to show that he was married and put 45 small dots around the skull to show the age he was. Since, I previously mentioned that he was peaceful so I will be drawing a peace sign. Since his birthday is on March 16, 1968, he is a pisces, so I would be painting a pisces sign next to the islamic symbol on the skull’s forehead.


    Dia de los Muertos opened my mind up to celebrating the passing of loved ones. It helped me realize how it affected me when they passed away and how special they are to me. It helped me recognize who I am because of these people. It showed me how worthy a human being can be when you start to think about memories that I had with those people. It showed me that I should thank God that I’m still living and breathing healthy. I have to appreciate the people and things that I have in my life because anything could happen at anytime and anywhere.



    Spanish Eulogy:


    Hola, me llamo Saraa Fadl. Yo estoy en el grado décimo. Voy a hablar de la muerte de Khalid Al-Tahir. Él nació en Sudán y vivió toda su vida ahí. Luego, él vivía en Arabia Saudita con su familia. Él era una persona de paz y amaba a todos él conocía. El trabaja como ingeniero civil. Él es muy competente con su carrera.

    Yo soy en America. Yo vivo en Filadelfia, Pensilvania. Todos los días, yo creo que él. Mi mamá nos dice cuentos de él. Yo creo que como mi prima esta sin su padre. Yo buscado veo ella cuando nosotros ir a Sudán. De la manera que, es malo tiempo, asi que yo no podía vio ella.

    Pienso hablo mi prima sabo como está haciendo. Yo quiero ella está buena.

    Spanish 2 Interview Video
    For this project, my role is to interview my partner because he decided to come to my school. The interview is in Spanish and contains details about the university and the life of the interviewee. To be specific, concepts included physical descriptions, personality, likes and dislikes of the interviewee, school life, family, shopping, and clothes. All of these concepts were taught to us and we did this project to understand the concepts in depth.

    Ser vs. Estar Presentation

    Posted by Saraa Fadl in SPANISH 2 - Moran - A on Friday, January 22, 2016 at 10:23 am
    In this presentation, we were able to differentiate between Ser and Estar by categorizing their uses. If you don't know, ser and estar have the same meaning of "to be". To help the reader understand the differences between them, we used dialogue. I actually loved the process of doing this project and actually benefited me in understanding of the concept.

    The Failed Coup of Opposition Groups or Parties against the Gaafar El-Nimeiri  

    Interview by: Saraa Fadl

    Interviewee: Osama Fadl

    Date: 5/15/15

    Time: 9:00 pm



    Abstract: In 1976, there was an attempted coup located in Khartoum, Sudan in which my father, who was 11 years old at the time, had witnessed. This failed coup was lead by opposition parties against president Jaafar El-Nimeiri and his military at an attempt to overthrow the military government in Sudan and take over. He mentions how the event that happened at that time is connected with what is happening today. He talks about his opinion of the situation and the government.


    Research on Jaafar El-Nimeiri


    He was president for 17 years (1969-1985). He was a US ally and was known for creating a sharia law that he thought would make Sudan peaceful but instead, it created conflicts between the north and the south. He was responsible for creating a lot of conflicts from his ruling which resulted in him being exiled in Cairo, Egypt. He was in exile for 14 years and came back to Sudan in 1999. He tried to get reelected but did poorly. He died on May 30, 2009 at the age of 79.

    S.F: Hello this is Saraa Fadl and I'm here to talk about the failed coup led by various groups such as the Islamists, The Uma Party (A Political Party) that opposed Jaafar El-Nimeiri with my father who at the time was 11 years old witnessed it. So how are you?


    O.F:I’m alright.


    S.F:So, I’m just here to ask you questions based on your knowledge about the failed coup. So, what happened based on your knowledge?


    O.F: That time there was we were coming from  a wedding of my cousin and the wedding lasted until 4 am in the morning that day and while we were coming my dad’s pickup truck we heard the bombing and shooting. Was like far away it was supposed to be like in downtown which was like maybe about 67, miles from where we were but still we were overhearing the bombing so when we got home we were outside just listening and you know wondering where was that and then the news came in and said there was a coup led by the opposition but the official government was saying like they were saying is  a missionary from overseas past soldiers from other countries. They came to invade Sudan so that helped the government which is the military at the time helped them to you know the people help them because they were against the foreigners.


    SF: So did this last all day or..?


    OF: It was until like from like 3 or 4 am to like maybe around 11 or 12 and then you know when the people that came in, they came in and they couldn’t control the government or the country or the capital. Then they were driven away from there from the center and they came closer to where I lived like a mile so there was shootings all morning.


    S.F: Was this a school night or a weekend?


    O.F: It was Friday i think Thursday night to Friday night. it was the next day was.. we were


    S.F: So it lasted a couple days?

    OF: No I think it was the fighting was until 12 or something and then the government came back and the president was overseas and then they took over


    SF: So when this happened he didn’t know about it or...?


    OF: No he knew about it from overseas and i think he was directing it from overseas but there was some of his ministers and his people in the military you know that helped him.


    SF: Did you witness something disturbing? Did you hear, see, or smell something unusual?


    OF: No it was far away i mean i was too young to go and you know but we just heard stuff we heard the guns if we weren’t in the wedding we wouldn’t hear that. We would be asleep but it happens at the time of the wedding night of my cousin so we heard the whole thing and we stayed up but i didn’t see anything.


    SF: Did you see any helicopters?


    OF: No there were soldiers on the ground they were trying to control the radio and the tv stations and the military installations.


    SF: So you mentioned it was far away, where was it located?


    OF: In downtown like where the TV and the radio stations and the military headquarters.


    SF: So where were you?


    OF: Like in the suburbs, like 6 or 7 miles away.


    SF: Of Khartoum or..?


    OF: Downtown yeah.


    SF: So when you first saw it, was there anyone in the family that knew about it a little bit, so that they can fill you in because you probably was confused at the time?


    OF: Yeah, I had my cousin he was in the secret service, like the internal secret service, so yeah, he didn’t know too, but when he came back later on, he told us it’s a, you know, a missionary they call it مرتزقة (which is like paid soldiers from overseas from other countries). So thats how the government defeated them but they were opposition parties opposing the government but when they came they brought people that didn’t know the area they didn’t know the city, and they looked different from the people in the city, so it was easy to see that they are not sudanese, so the propaganda of the government they told them to pay missionaries to stop. All the sudanese were behind the government so thats what he told me.

    S.F: How are people knowing about it now or years after the event happened? Do you think they are teaching that in school or are their relatives telling them?


    OF:yea i mean people are talking about it because we are in the same situation right now in Sudan. There is a military government, there is a military taking over the country for now 25 years and the opposition parties are against the government and at this point, there were a lot of fights, there are a lot of wars in the south and the west and now people are trying to come together in a reconciliation so it’s the same situation like at the time 1976 i think ‘75 so its the same scenario happening right now so people are trying to--


    SF: Compare?


    OF: Yea, it’s comparable because its the same situation. the opposition were against the government. some parties of the opposition are fighting the government and now everybody is trying to come together and have a peaceful reconciliation and have a national government so it doesn’t get worse.


    SF: What is your opinion? Do you have a side?


    OF: No I am with everyone coming together because the country’s situations are getting worse, economically, politically, and socially. People are going back to their tribes, going back to their ethnicity.


    SF: Because of the government.


    OF: Because of the government trying to rule by dividing the people, dividing the parties together, dividing people against people, so they managed to control the country but in the end, the country is divided and divided, so hopefully they can come together and bring all the sudanese to one government and then work in improving the situation in Sudan.


    SF: Are there leaders in Sudan that are trying to fix it?


    OF: Yeah there is some leaders but because i think that personally because of selfishness they don’t want to join. They feel like they supposed to get more than what they can get, they don’t want to compromise. They are selfish and it can’t work with some parties joining and not the others it’s going to be the same problem. So everyone has to come so that's why its difficult to bring everybody in but that’s the only solution right now. otherwise it’s going to be wars its going to be like civil war. There is some wars fighting in the west, in Darfur and other states in the country but it’s going to be more people even in the capital because there is a lot of guns now with each parties so--


    SF: So, history is repeating itself.


    OF: Yeah. So the president at the time was wise and he managed to reconcile people but now i think the president is trying but i don’t know if he is trying hard and some opposition parties are--


    SF: He’s(the president) abusing his power?


    OF: Yeah of course I mean he’s responsible for all the mess that happened at the end.


    SF: Is he the same president as what happened a long time ago?


    OF: No that was El-Nimeiri now it’s Al-Bashir. There was a democratic elected government in between the two military governments but it’s the same problems and same situations.


    SF: Ok , thank you!

    OF: You’re welcome!

    Interview with my friend Jorge

    If you could snap your fingers and make one thing better in the world, what would it be? Why?

    It would probably be how LGBT people get treated because I know that there is a lot of homophobic people out there. I don’t really understand why society just views them as bad people because we’re all humans. We all have the same internal organs inside, we’re all the same inside and out. Obviously we can’t ever live in a Utopia but that would mean a lot to me since LGBT gets discriminated a lot just because they’re different.

    If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be? Why?

    I would travel to Paris, France because I always wanted to go to the eiffel tower since it’s so famous and beautiful and romantic. It has always been a dream of mine. Or I would go to the place where the next Olympics would be and I would watch them because I don’t really play sports or anything but I like watching them.

    What are your goals that you have now? Do you think you are going to be able to achieve those goals before you leave High School?

    My goals for now would be to end High School with a really good GPA because I want to go to a good college and be successful in life. I do believe I will be able to achieve my goals before I leave High School since I work hard and my future is very important to me.

    Interview with my dad Osama Fadl

    Whatʼs the most exciting thing youʼve done?

    Travel to Denmark and Sweden when i was a sophomore in high school and went all the way up to where the sun doesn’t set and there is no rising sun and its continuously sunny 24 hours.

    Now is Fiji actually.

    • Where is that?

    That's by Australia because I have my best friend there when I was in college, I need to see him if possible.

    What’s your biggest regret? Why?

    For me, that I didn’t study medicine because its my dream and that’s the only thing I regret right now.And y? because that was something that I planned out but it didn’t work out.

    • Why didn’t work out? In general it doesn’t have to be specific.

    Yes, its just that the requirements. It was hard to get, you know, it was very hard in my country but like there's was only two universities that teach medicine at that time. So that's one thing I had to go up road for medicine it was very difficult you know, to get an admission. Because it was through the ministry of foreign affairs and when I came in here (America) I had to be a citizen, you know, to get a good chance and that was you know there was different reasons in different places that gave me the chance to finish.

    • Do you think it’s too late to study medicine?

    Yes, it’s too late. It needs a lot of effort, a lot of money, no not now.

    Tips for Teenagers By: Saraa Fadl, Max Harris, Andre Thomas

    Posted by Saraa Fadl in ENGLISH 1 - Zeller - X on Tuesday, February 3, 2015 at 11:31 am

    Based on the I-Search papers that we completed on teenage development, here are some tips for teenagers to help them be happier and to help them develop in positive ways


    1. Andre: Don’t judge what someone is based on what you think they should be, or what they are not

    2. Saraa: Have a positive mindset that can help you overcome anything, even low self esteem. People who have something in them that they don't like can actually change it instead of looking at it disgustingly.

    3. Max: If you find yourself being influenced in a negative way, realize what you could be getting into, and distance yourself from whatever is influencing you in a negative way.

    4. Yarisnel: Learn how to talk to your parents about certain things that may affect yourself and your parents in the future.

    5. Jorge: Don't care about what people think. Believe in yourself!

    Infographic

    Posted by Saraa Fadl in TECH 1 - Hertz - a2 on Thursday, January 22, 2015 at 1:42 pm
    I chose this topic because I want to represent my country and its tradition that my family still follows even if we are in America. I hope that from my infographic people would understand my country's tradition and how it is different from American culture. I'm proud of my country and it's tradition and it is apart of my identity as a Sudanese.

    Our Connection To A Rose

    Artist Statement

    A paper rose with lighten thorns. What would it mean to you , and given the information that two young ladies created it. You would probably think they made it because its pretty. But know we critical thought about what we would like to create. We thought of how complex we could really be and think which was more than the stereotype problems of a teenage girl.


    We don’t believe in stressing the problems if a boy likes us or not because we know our beauty. We stress the mess of our grades and how we have to straighten them out for college and how it is just one of the four major steps we have to reach success which is what our four thorns represent. High school career, College readiness, College Career, and Society readiness.


    When we started this project we instantly thought of what would represent us. This rose does that by expressing the bright future and steps we need to take to get there with each thorn which leads to the last light in the middle of the rose. The rose also represents the beauty in which we take these step as well as our thorns represent the pain we can endure on this difficult journey to success.

    A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words

    Posted by Saraa Fadl in TECH 1 - Hertz - a2 on Thursday, December 18, 2014 at 12:12 pm
    "Pulling someone down will never help you reach the top." I chose this image because it suits a quote that picked that relates to cyberbullying. This quote relates to cyberbullying because i think that cyberbullies or any type of bully tend to put someone down so that they could feel better about themselves. To explain, usually bullies are people who are insecure about something and they want to take it out on people who are a weak target. But, really in the end the bullies are the ones who are getting punished for their actions instead.
