Education affected Baca's world in one very pronounced way. It quite literally opened the world to him. He lived in the narrow confines of his Chicano culture with no direction, ties to his heritage, or purpose. Reading, and eventually writing, allowed him to see the world around him in a much broader sense. It was empowering and life-giving.

I believe that I am most creative, when I am making music. Music is a soulful connection for me. I am most creative then because I can express myself the most effectively. Music is a creative outlet for me. I am able to let my emotions and life experiences just flow on the paper.

To me, being able to understand something means to listen and comprehend whatever it may be while actively following and learning more so that you are able to apply that information at a later time or when necessary.

Too truly understand something is beyond knowing how to do something or recite back what someone told you, understanding comes when you know the why. Like yes, i know that my attendance to class is important but why is it important, once you can answer that you understand the importance of attendance.

To understand is to recognize a purpose or meaning. You may understand that an apple is red and has seeds, but it is a fruit that is good for consumption and contains potential to plant itself once again.

What does it mean to understand something?

While attending junior high school, there was a creative writing teacher who said something in class that every student should have taken to heart. At the beginning of every class, this teacher would write different words on the blackboard, yes, it was that long ago, and he would randomly call on students to give their best definitions of the words. If the student did not know the meaning, the teacher would move on to another student, and so on, until either the correct answer was given or the teacher ran out of students, at which time he would give the answer to the class. More often than not, and at a frequency that would have made anyone question the ability of some of the students to grasp the concept of the exercise, a student would give a variation of the answer, “ I know what it means, I just can’t explain it.” The teacher would then retort, saying, “If you cannot explain something, then you do not know it.” While this answer may have come across as slightly condescending, bordering on dismissive at the time, life has shown it to be true time and time again. To give another spin on it, and one that directly influences many professions, from college professors to military members, if someone wants to fully understand something, they must be able to teach it to someone with no previous knowledge or experience with that entity.

Question #4

I believe school should always be able to help my peers and I or anyone who needs help. I believe they should provide many resources for us to use if we ever get stuck. By having those extra resources, I know we can succeed later on and have greater outcomes with our education and our futures. I feel like knowing that my school will have my back in anything, I can be successful and accomplish many things. Most importantly, I just need my school to support me and help me grow.

Question 7:

I find myself most creative when I'm bored. If I feel like I don't have anything to do to keep my attention, I create something. I might learn a new talent, improve on an existing one, or study a topic I want to learn more about. Boredom helps drive me to expand my knowledge and gain talents that I wouldn't otherwise have.

However, I am excited to see the end results and my person growth.

When you understand something, you have it as a manipulatable object in your head that you can interact with. A result of embedding the properties of a subject almost as a part of yourself-or like an expansion of a map.

I think that knowledge is a tool. It's up to you to use it. A tool is useless if you neglect it or set it aside. Knowledge provides someone with potential and can enable an individual to fulfill their dreams.

The things I want to learn this year are, trying to find a good balance between work and school. Also being on time with assignments. Engaging in every activity I do. I am curious about how this year will go. It my first year brand new beginnings. Super curious to see all the new information I have learned at the end of the semester! A person can have great power with curiosity if they use it well. I feel like people can do great things with the power of curiosity.
