In this course I have been challenged to immerse myself into the community that surrounds the University of Arizona and write meaningful pieces around the community. This course has allowed me to explore the local area more than any other class that I have been in. Many students at the University of Arizona do not know much about the community and the people that live in the greater Tucson area. I am from Tucson and I did not even know alot about the community myself, but this course allowed me to explore this more. There were many documents that we went over in class that were compelling to me but the ones that grabbed my attention the most were “Tucson Salvage”, “Native Land Digital”, and the Borderlands Theater”. In this class we did not do essays or assignments in the most conventional ways but instead in ways that would immerse us into the community. When reading Tucson salvage I was able to interpret more of the topic because I have driven by that motel and I have a lot of experience with people experiencing homelessness. My family gives back to the homeless community every year and reading this story was more personable to me than others. Being in a class that discusses topics that are personal to you allows you to gain more knowledge from the information. The next document that was intriguing to me was the native map in tucson. I have lived here my whole life and did not know that there was this much of a native American presence in tucson. I knew that there were reservations, but not that they were so close to where I live. The last document that was intriguing to me was about the barrios of tucson. This unit was so eye opening to me, I have lived in Tucson my whole life and my parents have been here for more than 20 years. My dad and mom came up from nothing and they always tell me about certain parts of Tucson that are not in the best shape. The stories of the Bario’s were so intriguing to me as they are so close to the University of arizona. They were places that were thought to be ghetto back in the day but now those houses are so expensive.Being able to learn about different cultures in Tucson and how they are marginalized and excluded is something that I will never forget from this class. I will always remember this whenever I am writing and I will use this information to better appreciate what I have. This course has taught me that where I have grown up is not the best place in the world, and there are many people that struggle everyday. I will use my voice and language to inform others on the topics we have learned in this course.

It was amazing to hear the feedback that was given to me from Mrs. Martinez. This is what I wrote for my post workshop reflection, “First off the main issue I fixed was changing the story from 3rd person to first person. I did not realize how weird it was until after I submitted it, I was basing my story map off of the story map that we went over in class and in that storymap a lot of times the author would speak in 3rd person as they were describing the artist of the pieces but since I was the one that took the photos it should have been in first person. Now I have it in first person and I think the story map is way better than before.” I think that from U2A3 to U2A4 my story map had become so much better from the workshop.

The purpose of this assignment was to establish a story map outline that I would use when making the story map final. While creating the outline we were also supposed to look at another source on the topic so that we could get some secondary information about the topic. I liked this assignment more than U1A2 because it was more in depth in the secondary research and I was able to learn more about the topic at hand as well as about how to make a story map. I think this assignment  was the main reason my story map came out so well.

As much as I chose the other unit for this assignment I cannot overlook all the work I did in the first unit and that is why I chose U2A3 as my reflection from that unit. It is arguably the best work that I have done in the class. I enjoyed this assignment so much because it let me be as personable as I wanted to be when telling this story. I was able to express my voice in a way that I am usually limited to doing in other English courses. I am not the best writer when it comes to rhetoric, but I am very good at getting my point across when telling a story using my own voice.

For U2A1 I copied a lot of the same things that I did in U2A1 in the way that I conducted my research. The thing that I liked the most about this assignment was the other documentation part. If you go to the U2A1 assignment you can see the on site documentation about my experiences there from a personal perspective. The other unit assignment was more focused on sensory details only while this one shed light on my perspectives. This form of journaling is something that I will include in my future writing as it is more personable for the audience and is more factual.

We have about one month left in this course. Create a week-by-week or day-by-day calendar of what you want your end of the semester to look like.

I want the end of the semester to end with me maintaining my 3.7 gpa. In engineering the average gpa is a 3.2 so I want to keep my quotes up for my scholarship as well as for the workforce. For these next few weekends I am going to be studying as much as I can to catch up in all of my hard classes as well as do the projects in my gen eds and English.
I am very busy during the week and I am unable to work hard on any work so I need to
the advantage of my weekends. 5 weeks is nothing. I have to lock in for my ECE midterm and my midterm. These next weekends I am going to force myself to study for at least 8 hours of the day without using my phone and being distracted. I am going to try and get ahead on all my work on Wednesday so that I can go to the gym on Thursday. I don't really want to go 1hr formula on Th but I should because I have that project that needs to be done.  Maybe I'll set aside 4hrs for Solid works and gpa to school since I will be home alone. With no distractions I will be able to finish everything, When my parents are gone I will clean the house and make sure it is nice for them when they come home. My sister is
going with them so I don't come to School early like I usually do.

I wrote this very recently when my family went on a trip to vegas and I was home alone. When I wrote this I was putting a lot of pressure on myself to do the best in my classes. I have learned that the best way to do well in classes is to not stress too much about the future outcomes but focus more on the present. I want to share this with everyone because I know a lot of people have test anxiety and do not do well on tests because they put too much pressure on themselves when they do not need to.

As in Lydia Otero’s chapter 2 reading, there are distinct places that show us what really matters the most in our lives. Write about the places that have taught you something important– where are your “libraries” and what did you learn from those places?

The places that have taught me the most in life that I consider "libraries are my home and the gym. My home because my parents are the most knowledgeable people I have ever met. They have taught me so many life lessons and I am so grateful for them. My dad has taught me Many skills and led me on the right path for access. My mom has helped me with social situations and being the best person I can be. I say the gym is also a library because I gained so much valuable information from the gym. I have met so many engineers that are in the work force and have mentored me to be the best engineer possible. If it wasn't for them I would have a hard time selecting classes. not only that they help me with my form & overall life lessons. Most of the guys in my gym or middle age /older so they have experienced life and are able to give me very useful tips to help me in the future. From life and moral tips to General tips I've learned so much from going to the gym.

I  wrote this during a time where I was struggling with some of my classes and need help getting my mind right and doing well. Going to the gym has allowed me to meet so many new people and they are like walking textbooks. Many of them are in the profession that I am striving to reach and they have helped me progress in the best way possible. The gym and my family are my main libraries. Not only are they there for me to get help but they are a place I can go to when I need to “get some peace and quiet” and relieve my stress.

Home,
I was born in Tucson, Az and have lived here my whole life. I don't know if its normal, but I never really liked Tucson.
Usually i'll blame it on the weather, or the people, or just the fact that people usually don't like where they grew up. My parents
have allowed me to travel to many places in the world, and I think that is the main reason that I want to leave my "home" so bad. It wasn't until I came to the UofA that
I started really appreciated where I grew up. When I came here I met so many cool people from different places in the world.
People from Europe, east coast, Asia and they all chose to go to college in a place I kept telling myself that I did not like. When I ask all of them why they came to this school they all tell me it was because of how beautiful Tucson is. Hearing people from places I want to move say
that they like Tucson more than where they are from really makes me appreciate Tucson a-lot more for what it is. I am now proud to be born in such an amazing place. But, I still would like to move!
