About Me

|
My name is Alexa. I like to paint, read, ceramics and going outside. I feel like the internet has influenced who I am today. I was able to find hobbies I am passionate throughout youtube. I remember watching painting tips during all quarantine. I watched peoples art portfolios for college. I watched people making a variety of different designs of ceramic pieces. I have watched cooking videos for as long as I can remember. I have been able to push myself and be more creative because of the videos I watched. I have been able to find things I am truly passionate about. I hope that in the future I can help people find what they are passionate about. Playing video games and board games has allowed me to bond with both my family and friends. My family and friends are a big part in my life. They have influenced me as well.
Clubs
I am currently in the club M.E.Ch.A. MEChA is an acronym that stands for Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanx de Aztlán. We are a student organization that promotes higher education, community engagement, political participation, culture, and history.

Keeping it Real
We partnered with the museum of contemporary art in ninth grade and had an exhibition there with everyone's art pieces. The topic for that project was about perception and perspective. My group and I created an agamograph with two different cities, one happy and cartoon-like city which we all wish to live in, and the other city is a dark kind of smoky city to represent the nicotine/vaping addiction. We wanted to do something related to teen addiction, but something that was relevant then and now. Which was vaping because a lot of people were and are vaping even though they know about all the negative effects. This was important to me because we were able to reach so many people about this topic.
I am glad a lot of people were able to attend our exhibition. I really hope they went home and reflected on our project and hopefully talked about our topic with their families.
The Reckoning
For this project we created stories and essays about important social events that have happened or are happening in the world. I created a story about Media being controlled by those who have power and the labor that is enforced on those who have less power than those above them. My partner Alanna, created the essay. I'm really proud of this book because I was given a lot of creative freedom to write my partners and I book. I was able to write 40 pages.

Even though it took awhile and I had writers block sometimes I was happy with the end result.
Sound Waves
We learned about how sound waves work and the different types.
