Week 20

This week we got Mr.Smith back to work and have been finishing up the sanctuary. We have been putting the door up and the Sanctuary looks pretty complete besides the other door being missing. We are working on that. However, the door we have painted was a nude the same as the inside. The hinges are black and most of the windows are put in they just need to be finished up. We are getting to the last week of school and are very low on time now. We have still much to finish with the Sanctuary including up the touch ups of painting, finishing the windows, the other door, the vinyl cut outs, Etc. I think we can basically finish it by the time we all leave maybe little things will need to be finished but we got this teamwork.
What I have learned in this class throughout this year have been things I would not have learned if I did not take this class . I have learned meany manly things like building a structure! Also learning to make these amazing looking jars. Sandblasting and making stickers with vinyl. I have learned how to use tools I never even knew existed. Besides the manly things I also learned more about the news and to stay and involved, history lessons, debates, and way more. I have learned so much from listening and also working. I am glad I got to experience this class and the way you have to use numbers in the  real world.

Week 19

This week we have lost somebody very important. Everything will be okay though the Sanctuary is still beautiful and sitting inside the shelter on a warm day was relaxing. We have been watching videos in class this past week about many different things. Different ways of building things. It was very complex and difficult but I also got to finish a couple projects for my classes. It has been a successful week still but we hope to get Mr.Smith back very soon.

My regards,

I hope you feel better Mr.Smith

Week 18

    This week in the shop we moved the Sanctuary and now it is closer to our building and more out of the way. It was taken apart and put back together which was what our goal was, being able to disassemble the structure. There are little parts of the inside that still needs painting we have been doing touch ups on the door so now our frames look a gorgeous purple with an undercoat of brown. I learned how to build a little screwed up window that did not quite fit, but we are working on that. A door we have built was sandblasted yesterday and will be ready in no time. We have to create the slideshow which we are working on with all the picture Nikki took. More to come in the shop.

    Define Yourself? How do you define yourself hmm. In my opinion I can be a positive person but in many situations I am also a very emotional teenage girl. I am a human like every other human. There are not many ways to define myself other than I try to do what is best for myself and stay happy in not so happy situations. I get my work done when I start it and also continue to stay organized. There are many details of me as I would love to talk about myself all day, I do not have that long so I will end it there until next time..

(:

Week #17

   This week in the shop we continue to work on the Sanctuary. We now know that the doors are to big, so we will build our own doors. There are the ideas for the top of the Sanctuary for putting plasma cuts in every other opening and windows or something in the other openings? Ideas. I have been painting the inside and we are completely finished. The way the cream color brightens the room is really great, good thing we chose that color. Others painted the bottom part of the Sanctuary so it is not an orange brown gross color nobody liked. It has started to get gloomy and now it rains which has not stopped everyone in the shop still working. 

    What does school mean to you? The essential question this week is very interesting and makes you think. School is an important aspect to life and being smart to go somewhere in life. Going to school can teach you so much and set you up for a further career in life. School to me makes you more outgoing and capable of making friends, teaches you what you will need to know and has amazing resources to help you. 

Week 16

   This week in the shop we have been working hard to finish this Sanctuary with a month left of school. We have started painting the inside somewhat of a cream color. Many people have been stopping by to take a look at our beautiful Sanctuary saying it has a lot of potential as we well know, but is great to hear. The whole roof has been put on and looks great. We still have to add some style to the Sanctuary and the doors and windows. The inside and the trim painting will be done within a week and we will be finished with all the painting finally!
  What is the ideal form of government and why? Every person has a different view on which government they prefer. In my opinion Democracy is the best and most ideal form of government. I like Democracy although it is frowned upon for the reason that everyone is basically equal on the other hand it seems too much. Democracy is ideal because it is the only government where you get a say and everyone has their own voice on things. We have freedom in Democracy and helps solve problems in better ways than other forms of government do. Those in my opinion are the reasons why Democracy is the ideal form of government.

Week 15

This week in the shop has been very productive. We have put I would say more than half the roof on the Sanctuary and painted the whole outside of it a bamboo color, which I helped paint. As well as some of the inside appears as a cream color. The windows are being worked on around the edges. For half the week the shop was sunny until the last couple rainy days where there isn't much to do other than the work on the little things we need to finish this thing. We have made so much progress with the sanctuary. However we still have important things to do that need to be completed. It is only a little difficult to paint in the little cracks and corners of wood in the sanctuary.
      There are four potential career paths I could or anybody yet to work could potentially end up in either minimum wage, a living wage, middle class, and crazy rich. Which is most enjoyable and how do you need to get there. The job that would settle for my minimum wage would be a job in retail for clothing or shoes and doesn't require an education besides the basic speaking skills. Living wage being a manager at a store or restaurant doesn't involve much besides a high school degree or some type of GED. For middle class I could be a Dental Hygienist which requires an associates degree from college. Rich I could be a business women and make my own business which could require school depending on what you want. The one I would love to do the most would either be in retail because I enjoy it the most or owning a business to myself.  

Week 14

In the shop we chose the colors of the sanctuary which in my opinion are alright. The top is like a purplish and I have yet to find a word to describe the color of the outside so I will get back to you. Painting the sanctuary has been a really calming project to work on. We also worked on banners helping Brittany out put tape on and folding which was actually a way harder job than it sounds haha. I have also been doing some side work for a friend making a jar, sand blasting and making stickers

  May 29,1999, the day I was born. Being born in the last generation of the 90s starting a new century where many new things are being invented. Coming into a world where there are advances in technology and new things getting created almost every day. Coming into a time where there is less racism and war is a good advantage but economically in the 21st century we are killing our Earth. In history if I was born long before 99 everything would be so much different people would be walking everywhere and sending letters instead of texts and calls, gas would be like 50 cents instead of dollars. Are we in the time to be alive or would it have been better to be born earlier? Hmm.
