Comins Dot Com

The first and last Action Project for the STEAM course Social Entrepreneurship. As the name implies, the class is in regards to entrepreneurship. Throughout the units, we learned how to develop a business, identify key members, find our target audience with demographics and psychographics, along with discovering just how we can pitch our ideas to investors. Initially, I immediately knew I was going to relate my project to art, but thinking about a specific business I could use my art for was a bit challenging. I settled on making comics that could connect people. My main motivation was the fact that I could share art that people could connect upon. It was definitely a challenge to say everything I wanted whilst staying in my 2 minute time frame, but real elevator pitches have no leeway, and despite my business model directly consulting the consumer (instead of an investor) people's time is priceless. You have to make what they're hearing worthwhile and quick.

Victory. Tranquility. Respect.

The final Action Project for the humanities Endurance course has been assigned. And we must write out our own survival guide book to success. This third unit, Apotheosis we reflected upon our survival. What we've endured, how we've been reborn, and how we're dealing with our lives now. The struggles I went through included stating requirements to reach my goal, as I could technically reach it at any time. To be an artist has no specific requirements, it's such an open term and I consider myself an artist currently. Others have called me skilled and I've worked in so many mediums that I don't think isolating myself to just one style would be accurate. Just below, you can read through the book and I thank you for reading.

The Spice of Spanish

So this 3rd period class I've taken all year was Spanish. The final assignment was to write a story, 100-200 words, entirely in Spanish while using 2-4 new words we look up. Everything else was reviewed in the course and I can actually say that while I was doubtful of the course at first, I definitely learned the basics of Spanish by the end of it. Gracias para leyendo.
