One of our first project for school was our light box and it consisted of our personal image on both the out side and inside of our personality and what we like. The engineering part of the project was the construction of the box and the outside describing our personal image. Now the physics part was to place mirrors in the inside and reflect and image so a person can be able to see the image with the mirrors reflecting it.

Ted X (DVC X)What is TED X ? TED X is designed to help communities, organizations and individuals to spark conversation and connection through local TED-like experiences. Our teacher Regina which is my English teacher assigned us this project and we had to think of ideas that might help the community or even go the extent of coming up with worldwide ideas that would help thousands. If you don't mind here's mine
Christopher Torres Regina Flores 30 October 2015 TED-X Has someone you love every had surgery or have you had surgery yourself with the thought of you losing a body part. Dealing with the fact of facing surgery because it's needed or even without needing it the situation can be worrisome for most people. The thought of not even having life insurance can kill the person from worrying about injuring themselves. People don’t have the say in getting hurt but they do having the say in having life insurance and the purchasing some type of care that will only benefit them in being safe or at least feeling that way. Life insurance can be a very beneficial and unhelpful or for your bill that is, health insurance can benefit you with getting the right treatment and medicine you need , but it has its disadvantage which is cost. How can docter not have the right medical supplies for their patients you may ask ? Well the problem with this is the exact cost and supplying countries or people with these products. It is estimated that one third of the developing world’s people are unable to to receive or purchase essentials medicines or on a regular basis. So with that being said how in the world are people supposed to live , well i guarantee that these people live with fear that one might break a leg and not be able to pay the bill because these prices worry people with no job or even with a job. People who live in these third world countries don't have enough money sometimes to feed their family so imagine a world of you being sick and now having the correct medicine or attention you deserve. Families are worried everyday for thier lives of getting sick, breaking a bone, not having food, or even living. We as a developing country almost consider us lucky because most of the people here can go to a hospital and get check with the extent of health insurance. Many people in other countries or even here in the US don’t have health insurance. A 2013 study by LIMRA, formerly known as the Life Insurance and Market Research Association, found that while 85 percent of consumers say people need life insurance and 65 percent say they personally need it, just 62 percent actually have policies. (Do you have life insurance you need ?, Kelly Holland, CNBC). It states here that only 62 percent of people have policies that's more than half of our country so where's the other half ? Well the other half is sitting in a hospital waiting to be helped for hours and hours at a time. Statics show from years 2012 to 2014 there was a high percentage of adults without life insurance. Also statics say if we use strategies to increase affordability by reducing taxes, tariffs and margins , and developing pricing policies people will finally have the correct medicine to heal and aid countries. We will be able to have health insurance and actually have the supplies we require.These people need our help into lowering prices for both medicine and health insurance to be able to live safe. Countries lack the supplies they need but if we help these people need our aid and if we don’t aid them now it could only get worse. Works Cited

For engineering we had to create a windmill project which we had consisted as group working together and making a home made turbine. My group was Ethan, Samin , and Malakye we all came up with ideas for our the windmill and we final came up using index cards tape and cardboard for our turbine. Now for the base of the project we used PVC pipes to hold up our turbine. Thank god it help because we would've fail if it didn't.

For the month of March we had to create a game that would represent our district. My team and I where assigned district 11 and when we where first brainstorming we notice our district was solely based on agriculture so i decided for my district I'd make a game where your Mario and instead of collecting coins you have to collect crops that let you win and as soon as you collect 60 crops you win and you'll be in for a surprise. My game mainly tried to reflect the idea that most of the people in district 11 have to do work after work and don't get anything in the end.
