Dear Senior Committee:

The ideas and values that interest me are the human mind and human emotions. What I would like to understand better are the emotions of students at John Muir. This learning is a stretch for me because I will help some students in my own way in a support group. This will help me push the students to make sure that the school is understands them.

The history of the issue is the one big question people always ask, “What is going through that persons head?” I want to give a group of students an outlet to say and do whatever is on their mind. To let an emotion out to clarifies the working of the human mind. What I will need for this project is a group of students who are interested in writing and drawing. What I will need is a room, paper and pencils. It will require a mentor who is interested in writing and drawing.

My project is to take a group of students and let them draw and write what they feel and what they are going through. I will take at least 50 hours to get the results I want. My audience will be anybody in the school who is interested in writing and art. It will benefit the community by showing that putting all you have into whatever you do can produce a piece of art. I will know my work is done when the group I will work with is producing works that have meaning in their lives.

I will make an international connection by showing that a kind of art that everyone would want to do. I will show that even though our school is small that we can make a mark at whatever we do. I understand that plagiarism means failing the project. I plan to do original work and cite all sources used.

Sincerely,

Carlos Giovanni Marquez

Drennon: so your doing a more psychological evaluation to see how different people think? nice that should be interesting and helpful to people who are confused with their friends reactions to certain comments.

O. : Great idea, i think it will show different ways people can share their feelings :).

Jorge: Great Project. This is good because you enjoy writing poems.

Anne: You might connect this project with peer counseling at Muir. You will need a faculty supervisor for workshops you may put on.

Mr Loessel: The project has possibilities, however, 20 hours may not be enough time to get the desired results. And you didn't mention the duration of the project such as how many weeks. Haveing students express their feeling in both writing and visual arts can be very revealing and very theraputic. I wish you well.
