The Human Push

The history of Hip-Hop first started in the early 1970's back in South Bronx, New York City, New York. The fundamentals of Hip-Hop consist of MC, Graffiti, DJing, and Bboying. The definition of medicine is the art or science of restoring or preserving health or due physical condition. Now the skills and the abilities behind the background of these two are very specific, especially for medicine. For Hip-Hop at the least, generations and generations of ideas are integrated into the culture at a phenomenon rate, yet the roots never die. Medicine has sided with humans for as long as human history is conserved to be. Both generate improvement after improvement, idea after idea, person to person building blocks.

But these two cultures haven't touched each other's boundaries. I want to be the first to recognize the true potential of remixing two insoluble ideas into one element. I'm going to college and I know the path I'm taking is rough (that being pre-medical programs), but I also want to explore the culture of Hip-Hop, specifically the art of breakdancing as well as other popular forms of dance. There's an urge of feels for me to fit in an environment with people with the same background as me. The clinical grounds is one place, but the dance floor is another.

I'm going to make a prejudgment here. The medical field is not fond of those who make mistakes and lack of will power. See, I've made mistakes. Too many. I don't want to be that guy whose always in the bottom of class. I seek will power, but you have to earn that on your own terms. I use dancing in ways of encouragement for boosting will power and fixing my mistakes. You can call it perfection. I call it "look clean, look good." With every move practiced everyday and improving every minute, I can train my mind to get all the right things in place.

I focused my masterpiece on medicine because I literally want to be a life saver to my future patients. Every inch of my action is my responsibility. I want to fill in that role of a good Samaritan who expects positive results. The other half of my masterpiece is because I love to do what I want to do. Bboying is something I want to call my secret technique to medicine. I'd like to go see bboy battles go down....Battle of the Year, Red Bull BC, World of Dance... The B in bboy or bgirl either means break, Bronx, or beat.

The hype begins!

For bboys, we have to follow a certain beat. One, two, three. Boom, boom, bop. All steps and flow all have to be clean. If it isn't clean, no points are awarded and it doesn't look professional. Unprofessional etiquette would reflect how I would do my daily job. Dancing routines is good practice to muscle memory and satisfactory activity.

I shouldn't have no excuses for what I can do or what I can achieve, so let's ask this kid what he thinks about bboying:

Ha! He's definitely killing it.

DO-ABLE.

I've even had suggestions with matching medical terms to dance moves, but trying to fit them out is pretty difficult. I picked up a few med terms like calcifications, pneumothorax, aneurysm, hydronephrosis, pancreatitis, cholecystitis, hypo/hyper-triglyceridemia, glaucoma, and some other words that I need to know later on. *Authors Note: Medical terms taking down as notes during physician mentoring program over the summer*

The symbol for Health Care --- No, not Medicare

Whenever I search up medicine and look over to images, all I see is piles of pharmaceutical drugs. Like, really! This is what kids have to see and wonder about. Not much about health physcians or practitioners at work. Medicine is also hard to understand for most people, especially those damn medical terms. But scientifically speaking, that's how medicinal science functions in ways of simpler terms to define complex descriptions.

People may say I'm probably 10 years too late for dancing because the years built up to getting the moves right in a matter of time is easier for a kid who began at an early age. Or they may say I'm 10 years to early to learning medicine because everything that you need to learn is all focused in one place and centralized in a period of constant instruction and experience. I say it's never too early or never too late to start. Not being able to do any of these at all would be at a total loss if I hadn't been motivated to at least try.

I look over at two of these colors that are so much on the opposite sides of the spectrum and visualize them collaborating one day. I want to continue on this masterpiece since its a personal journey I first sought and will later on share the concept so that it is easily acceptable. That's why I named my masterpiece as well as the blog title as the human push. We're a force to be reckoned with (cliche I know), I'm a force without limits. I may follow Newton's Law of Motion, but I follow my own laws of moving forward with this project and get all the support I can to spread cultural awareness.

You know that Lupe Fiasco track Kick Push, yeah that song and picture connected

Bboy Swoopie out!

All AP test done and prom next

From here on out, it's nothing but smooth sailing. That's an overstatement. I'm pretty sure everyone needs to worry about paying fees and such for college expenses like housing, orientation, future meal plans, etc. We also have finals, but honestly, its all a kick starter for college course material (well as long as you retain everything you've learned).

One good thing I'd like to conclude is Prom! Last dance of all of high school, so let's see how it goes!

Four AP Tests done, One more to Go!

*Sigh* It's been rough and tiring and sleepy and ..... It's just whatever it is to get out of some college classes or General Education classes that can be accomplished by passing the AP Exams with a 3 or higher. So much studying and so much preparations. Life as an AP student.

Why our education is good at sucking

True Bruce Lee Fan!

I want this kid to teach me the way of the Dragon.
