Coming into this class I didn't know what to expect. I knew I only took it because it was easy GPA booster which adviser call easy A class. Then it's a 3-hour class I knew I couldn't sit in class for that long. Keep saying I hope this teacher not boring and they make the class fun. Now its the first day of class and looking at the syllabus I thought it will be pretty good class. one unique thing about this class is instead of us just handing you papers you turned it around and made us create a blog. I was excited about creating my blog and doing the first entry. I think I was so excited because love telling people about myself and all great thing I did or currently doing now.
Blog assignment number 2 was easy for me. One reason why is because I have so many memories from when I was younger. but that specific one I would never forget. I have a love/ hate for this time of year in December but Christmas is my favorite holiday. Reading your comment was little confusing to me when you stated for future writing assignments, consider slowing down and being as specific as possible. I would like to see your grandma struggling with the wrapping paper, have a better understanding of what she was like, as well as seeing the experience the next day, with you trying really hard to pretend that you were excited when you really weren't then I realized she will be hard to please or I just have too little more effort in my work for future assignments.
Blog assignment number 3 that's when I start experiences I had struggle with certain things but I knew I had to find a way to figure it out.it was fun creating these mini-stories using on giphy.com. I was just playing around with the different effects and emojis cause it was my first time using this site.
Blog assignment number 4 writing an entry about your favorite picture I actually sent that letter to my best friend. her reaction was priceless. I didn't learn anything from this but I can say the assignment had taught me to explore more and stop trying to go the easy way out.
The podcast was one technology multimedia things I learned. also, how to walk with a partner that really don't care about the assignment or class they just want to get the work done. I'm a person that takes pride in my work. this project also taught me that I should have started the recording early so anything we didn't that needed change we could have been redone it.
we I learned about sounds effects, storytelling, storyboarding, narrating, and audio. Being in this class I finally got to use iMovie. I always use to play around with it on my iPad for fun but never did a project on there. I'm happy because if I ever have to use iMovie it wouldn't be a struggle for me because of some experiences with it. Even with the additional resources, you provided for us I will use even after this class.
It was a pressure to meet Daisy Johnson & Rebecca. As stated in a previous blog spot Rebecca was more open than Daisy. Both of them are great poetry artists.
My favorite lesson/ assignment was the homecoming podcast. Simply because it had me wondering what happens next. I can't wait until they come out with season 2. I still have some unanswered questions such as. Do I want to see where the story goes, like where is Walter, how did they really "lose" Walter? I think they should come out with tv show or movie about homecoming I would be excited to see it instead of listening to it.
I wish we had 2 more weeks to work on our final project. The due date came little too fast for me. maybe because I was struck by topic for like 2 weeks. I know we talk about the video throughout the semester but I feel like we should spend more time talking about it and you help us in class. this semester was a good class. I think my fellow classmates made this class because of we all this different type of talent.I feel like at Rutgers you going to luck up with one great, most laid back class with everyone that has positive vibes and that's what made this class memorable. THANKS YOU !!!!

Define the word:
Being a big sister is a huge
responsibility. And no, I'm not talking about a sorority big sister. I'm
talking about your flesh and blood, being a mentor and basically the reigning
queen over your younger siblings. I speak from experience, and though I can
only relate to those with little brothers & sisters. I'm sure the basic
responsibilities of being the older sister are the same. Being a big sister
means:
·
Being a mentor
·
Being a supporter
·
Keeping secrets
·
Being a chauffeur
It has also taught me to be:
·
Selfless – because I am an older
sister, I have realized that their needs frequently come before mines. Its comes
with bending over backwards just to make them happy and to please them
·
·
Aware of my surroundings – once you
become someone big sister you have to be aware of your friends and what you
doing. I know my little sisters look up to everything I do. You have no other
choose but to show them positive vibes and show them how any relationship
should be
·
·
A role model – everything we do is
drawn from the actions of people around us. We bring in everything we see and
hear to create our own spirit. My siblings
unknowingly draw behavior from me. Basically, I have to watch how I carry
myself.
·
·
Patient – I have gained little to no
patient which is crazy. Being an older sister has taught me everything not
going to at my pace and it’s not always about me.
·
·
To share- As I said in the beginning
of the semester I was the only child for 10 years so sharing my room & my
mother was hard for me. As years goes on I learned how to share.
·
·
To defend- I
would do anything for my siblings and anyone who has a problem with them automatically
has a problem with me.
·
·
To love
- There is something so beautiful about unconditional love. My siblings are
everything to me and there is nothing they could do that would make me feel any
differently. To love someone is to want the best for them and to see them
prosper. Love is not selfish, but it allows the person to grow. Every time I am
asked to think about what love is
·
·
How to
be a best friend - My siblings are my best friends. They also taught me to be
the kind of best friend that I want to be. A best friend is a support system.
Someone who is always there for you and who will do everything in their power
to make you better. A best friend will not always tell you that you are right,
but they will challenge you and help shape you into the kind of person you are
supposed to be.
Description:
Ø
Zhar is my sister; Gemini her
personal is out this world. We are 10 years apart
Ø
Hadith is my brother; Aquarius I will
describe him as a Greek. We are 12 years apart
Ø
Amir is my brother; Aries he is full
of life because he only 1 year’s old. We are 19 years apart
Write
a list of all:
1.
The streets you’ve lived on; Rose
street, Riverview Terr, N 6th street
2.
The name of your elementary, middle,
and high schools; 18th avenue elementary school, Newark vocational
high school
Memory
I have so many memories of my brothers and
sister its crazy. This one specific memory is when my mother told me she was
pregnant and watching her belly grow for 9 months. The day each of them was
born. My reaction when she told me she was pregnant I was so mad. Especially,
with my little sister, I couldn’t believe she was having another baby. I wanted
to be the only child for the rest of my life. I was frustrated and on top of
that, I just lost my favorite cousin. I was in 6th grade and that’s when my
behavior increases and my attitude started. I used to get a phone call home every
day literally. When she told me, she was pregnant with my little brother Hadith
I was just over it. It was too many babies coming into my household and I
didn’t understand why. I just knew I was going to be mean to these little kids
when they come, and if she asked me to help her with them I will tell her no. Now,
as years went on I learned how to love them and was happy I wasn’t the only
child because the spotlight wasn’t on me anymore. I was able to a teenager and
she wasn’t overprotecting as she used to be.
Finally, the last out the bunch Amir when she had him I was
freshmen in college and didn’t really help him when he was a baby because I was
away at college but when I came home for breaks I made sure I spend some time
with him. My little brother is only 1 and nobody can tell me he not full of
joy. I love all my sibling’s and very blessed they were choosing to be in my
life.

Journey by the train every day is crazy. For regular commuter can be a typical
experience and one gets so used to it that can almost predict what happens
next. its people everywhere, some orderly, some pushing, some but all moving
towards a destination like being possessed. All your hearing is "excuse me",
"sorry", " thank you " when passing through people. Ahhh!
The life of a commuter; is a real struggle every day. Daily I have to set my
alarm 2 hours prior to my regular alarm time to get a class on time. If I don't
set an alarm, I will be rushing to train station running with my bags dragging
on the ground. The worst part is sometimes when you rushing to get on the train
and it pulls off soon as you get on track. Now, I'm out of breath, feeling like
my heart is about to come out my chest.
The gates are shutting
automatically as the train is about to take me on a wild roller coaster ride. As
the train moves, turns, we all are shoving us against each other, for the brief
of a 45-minute journey we are all one unit. Our shudders to a close to each
other, the brake throwing us forward one of other as if to snap us out of our
mass hypnosis. At this point, you either give way or you are carried with the
crowd. The only choice is to resist or evade. The morning train journey is a
version in miniature of modern day life when people is sweaty, confused and it
sometimes stinks but you take the ride anyway.
After being on the train
for 20 – minutes now and finally have a seat and you can't really focus on your
homework because of crying baby or group of friends talking loud. Now I’m
questioning myself how can people invade each other’s personal space, and yet
act uninterested? All I can do is breath in & out trying to balance my bags
between my legs. 2 more stops until Rutgers the coordinator said on the loud
speaker.
Finally, !!! off the
train and walking on College Ave. It’s so many people waiting for bus at Scott
Hall. The LX comes and it’s a lot people
is running to get on this one little bus now I’m thinking not this again; I just
want a break. standing at bus stops all you hear is weird sounds from shuttles
because half of them be broke down. They say buses run as often as every 3-9
minutes during peak periods on weekdays but they lied I have waited 20 minutes
for a bus before. They also say depending on where you are going, the average
bus rides ranges anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes which is another lie you will be
waiting for drivers for like 10 minutes because they want to take long breaks
and now you running late for class. Moral of story is I’m tired of commuting I just
need to buy me a car.

The story I will be telling is the life of being a full-time student vs managing being a big sister. Trying to balance both can be difficult at times. Being a big sister is fun, but it is also a great responsibility. Even when you don’t realize it, your younger siblings are looking to you for guidance. You might even find that they mimic your behavior. Though it might be a lot of pressure, you can use your role to have a positive impact on your siblings’ lives. Be a good big sister to them by building a strong bond, being a positive role model, and being kind to them.

my little sister Z'har
While in college a student can easily become overwhelmed by a schedule that is busier than he or she is accustomed to. Trying to juggle one's studies and social life can quickly become overwhelming and may eventually threaten one's grades and educational goals. This is further exacerbated by other bad habits that consume one's time, such as procrastination, for example. Unfortunately, it isn't always easy to cut back on the number of activities that make up a student's schedule. To create a balance between study and social interaction, students must learn and implement valuable time management skills
- doing an interview with my siblings and mother
- create a mini video of my college life
- show pictures of me interacting with my siblings
- words expressions
-characters and captivating events sprinkled throughout the story to ensure the audiences sustained interest.
My goal is to make sure that each scene leaves audiences wanting more and at any given moment the audience should know what's going on.
Some questions I was thinking about asking my siblings:
1. What are you most proud of them for
2. If you’re the younger sibling, do(es) your older sibling(s) feel like they need to be guiding you every step of the way, or do you they take a more hands-off approach?
3. What kind of music do you both like to listen to (because it’s what your parents also listened to)?
4. If you guys could take a sibling trip, no parents or other relatives or significant others, where would you go?
Questions for my mother :
1. Do you think is a good big sister? And do I play that role?
2. How well do you think I balance my social life and school?

Authors Response
Blog Assignment 6
Word Count: 522
Word Count: 522
Both of the authors were
very interesting. Daisy Johnson was born
on Halloween which interesting to me.
She currently lives in Oxford.
Daisy Johnson combines English folklore and a contemporary eye, sexual
honesty and combustible invention to create a reading experience like no other.
Doing the video skype she read her work aloud to us and her words were just
flowing. One aspect of the time with Daisy I really enjoyed was when she
explained her writing technique a lot of authors wouldn’t have told us their
techniques. I’m thinking I should start doing some of the techniques to help me
with my writing when I’m stressing about what I'd write about. Daisy referenced
another author, Stephen King, and said she followed similar exercises he does
as well. She told us how King will write a character, and write what he wants
to happen to a character first before he comes up with a storyline. Daisy also
follows this pattern which allows her to know where her stories are going to
end. Daisy also mentioned how she gets comments on her unique sentence
structure but said this is most likely because of her dyslexia. After talking
with her, we spoke with Rebecca Schiff. Rebecca Schiff graduated from Columbia
Universities with an MFA program, where she received a hen field Prize. Her
stories have appeared in n+1, Electric Literature, The American Reader,
Guernica, The Guardian, and Lenny Letter. She lives in Brooklyn. She was very
true and very erratic, and I enjoyed that because it was different. She spoke
about things most people are uncomfortable speaking about and turned it into
fiction. She read us a short story about a woman who slept with multiple men,
but never felt comfortable in her own body, and also never found "the
one". I was wondering why she wrote this piece. Was it a personal
experience or was she just connecting it to the everyday world? Rebecca was
more open than daisy she showed us her new apartment maybe because we had more
skype time with her. Rebecca always
mentioned things going the wrong m when writing about sex, are good. I feel like she was saying everybody has a
lesson learned from a situation they been through.
Daisy writing assignment
I have come back and it
was just the way I remember… I remember
going to school down south for my freshmen year in college and when I came back
on my breaks, my friends were still doing the same thing from when I first left
for school. I believe in change; I think
it comes to a point in life where you should want more in life for
yourself. It’s more than being outside
24/7 and joking around with your friends. The older you get the more
responsible you should be. Sometimes I think I have this mindset because I
watch my grandmother and mother struggle to take care of me and my siblings and
I want more for my family and they're doing an amazing job. I know some things
come slower than others but you should always want the best for yourself.
