Sorry, I don't have a selfie of me at the beach or the beach itself, but I want to say a what's up for this Friday. Chilling at Avila Farmer's Market by the beach was very soothing and relaxing, especially with family. Music going around the market festivities was entertaining. Whales at the almost summer time shores kept popping up the surface for food. It was a wonderful sight. Playing catch football in the sand was super fun too.
Ended the day there by sitting down by band performers who played awesome songs with family. As I sat there watching oldies dance their way to enjoyment and livelihood, I knew what my life I was living for. I wanted to do what everyone around the market was doing and all came to one single simple answer. Smile. It reminded me of Bree, it reminded me of my future plans, it reminded me of all the things I had to do to give people life.
It was a good feeling. It was something good to start off summer vacation.

Masterpiece Academy Question

Masterpiece Academy: The Human Push
Senior year was a rough year personally, but everything boils down to the last four years of high school altogether. I came to know many things I hadn’t known before. I justified the means of relationships, whether it would be family, friends, classmates, teachers, and other advocates who helped advance my way of thinking. The witty words of Montaigne from his last essay that specifically states something we must “espouse.” The things that are collectively espoused are my passions, my accomplishments, my progress, and my future goals. During the masterpiece academy that coincides with the whole course year, there are elements that build up the foundations of the academy itself. All of which many, including I, have developed growth in our own untold story.
Being treated as one with authority, one with the teacher who understands his/her students is the best thing to obtain. Sometimes an authority figure can keep organization on a tight schedule, but so late in anyone’s high school year such as senior year, it can be hectic and stressful. So having the independence to enjoy a colleague only environment was well worth it. Honestly, I didn’t think that some of students in the group should have earned the high level of trust because the mindset was not set in because of the conditioning of grades and homework was just not there to support the ease. But many did honor the system as a break from anything else that flags adult growth into the independent world. I’ve learned to put my trust with those who are serious projects and getting things done. Those are the people I know deserved the kind of academy we were in.
If I were to connect myself to a fiction character, I would choose Ishmael. As a romantic hero who decides to reject some of society’s wants and needs, conversely reflecting his own intuition. I feel like my intuition is righteous, not much as radical change, but self-inclination. That’s why Moby Dick marks characters like Ishmael. Pip is also a character I could also relate to because the expectations he perceives are the same as everyone else. He desires more, even though he’s being tricked, but still goes with how the world works. Like him, I don’t necessarily question doubts about others, though I make decisions to better my well-being in order to achieve the approval of others. It wouldn’t be Great Expectations without Pip’s path to expectations.
In my masterpiece that I’ve spent my year of was based off of dance and medicine. I had other ideas that supported my masterpiece in some ways such as time travel and social ecology. I’ll continue my learning on the subjects by searching on the internet, reading books, extending mentors, etc. I want to also make more connections when over there at college starting with clubs, organizations, volunteering, internships, and events.
I’ve learned from all the masterpiece presentations that we do the things we do because we love to do them. Whether it’d be with twinning connections, guitar, finding stories, breaking stereotypical/racial barriers, going beyond empirical science, drawing graphic designs technologically, or evolving technology, there’s always a place where we can share passions and concepts that will one day fulfill our goals and dreams. It was a straight masterpiece. Everything was in flow at one point when all of our compilations came in order. Everything started off because of something we had to change or developed an espousing for it.
In my opinion, my growth does match the end of the hero’s journey. My journey has yet to be started. Initially, I’ll have more freedom to do more carefree. The restrictions I have now are something to hold me down, but that’s the whole ordeal of becoming a hero. I’ve started to think of ways to make changes for the greater good. The call to a hero’s journey followed through in the summer before senior year. That summer was when I found my mentor, a physician of family medicine. He encouraged me to take on everything straight on with the addition of life innuendos.

High School Blog to College Blog?
Okay, I'm thinking of making a transition from this blog by the end of summer to the start of September to create another blog. That blog this time will conjugate all the stuff about college life, specifically based on where I'm going which is University of California Riverside.
I'm also considering making a YouTube channel based on college life in general and create an atmosphere for intended college pursuers. Of course of I'm planning on continuing my masterpiece during my time in college and later in life.
The name on the next blog is most likely going to be ... The Human Push: College Edition ---cheesy I know --- so that it fits in with what I'm studying and how I'm progressing through. It'll be about my hardships, academics, club activities, hangouts, etc. I'll be updating this blog once in a while, but we'll see in the long run with how everything goes. I expect nothing less than what I'm supposed to be doing today than the days of the future.

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.
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:
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*
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.
Bboy Swoopie out!

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.

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.

Defining a Sonnet
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
My guess for this sonnet is that it belongs to Petrarchan. For some reason, I think it's more personal and less to a satire of Shakespeare's plays. I feel that the narrator of the sonnet is the one telling the story instead of an omniscient point of view like Shakespeare's sonnets. There's a shift in direct characterization and a more detailed approach in defining someone. The theme of this sonnet has to be that looks are deceiving, so anything to cover up is just a false image to another person's eyes. The tone is somewhat passionate yet at the end shows a condescending approach.
EDIT: I didn't interpret this sonnet correctly (hah, totes not a poem reader as you can tell). This is a Shakespearean Sonnet that consists of 4 quatrains and a couplet. Because Shakespeare was a modernist, so this sonnet was a response to the Petrarchan Sonnets. The rival sonnets were very classical ones that did depict the realism of people and the surroundings. Shakespeare Sonnets were real, not ideal. The sonnet is actually how one feels about the partner with all the negative features, but then detriments it all by saying he still loves her anyway.
Basically, you can laugh at my first paragraph...go ahead I dare you...I need to practice more on literature :(

How to write an easy essay
I know what you're thinking. An essay is an essay. No...an essay is your essay. By that I mean, you fill the score sheet of the grader with all the points, yet it's still not your essay. You're essay should be based on your reading, experiences, context, motivations, prompt, and justification. All of those combinations make up your ideal essay that fit's everyone's perspective. If they don't agree with it entirely, they either are a narcissist or is well-known to writing one.
Whatever the question the prompt asks for, it is most likely do-able. If it's one tricky son-of-bitch of a prompt to get through, I believe you can put your best work into it. I know that an essay has to be understandable the first time around, but the second time around, it'd be better make clarifications and proofreads that gives the reader the opportunity to acknowledge your personal mindset. We all work differently with how our brain works, so make the adjustments necessary. If only the AP exam gave us the time to do so.
I'm not an expert, but don't fret over a question that may not make sense. Read it bit by bit and break it down to it's core literary components. An essay is only good when you think it's good.

Masterpiece - Bboy Swoopie
I googled it up...I'm guessing nobody took up the name, so I'm taking it up. I want to see it through with break dancing as the core of my dancing while implementing other styles as well. Bboys always have these cool name per se. Most Hip Hop dancers are acknowledged by these nicknames as a representation of the culture they inspire. Also, I aspire to be good at my hobby so I definitely need to practice my masterpiece in spite of the name I've chosen. This name is nothing but the drive of motivation and determination. Only I can find joy in something I love to do and so should you when it comes to interesting things.
Live your childhood dreams and don't get caught up with the American Dream or the destined path your parents chose you.
I'm a wannabe in trying to specialize in something that needs practice, so all I can say is practice whatever you aspire to be. And make it a side thing while you're making dough on the side to make a living. That's the theme of my masterpiece. Don't give in to the social norms of living that boring life.
Peace. Bboy Swoopie out! :D

The Otherside of Macbeth
Blood and tears is the what I think is the main plot for Macbeth. If there were a new theme, plot, and tone in Macbeth, then the story would take toll in another route in a goody-too-shoes route for a warrior of one's country. I mean the same situation would still happen when King Duncan is bound to be assassinated by another person other than Macbeth. The title of the Thane of Cawdor would be something that Macbeth would live for by doing good deeds and not being manipulated by Lady Macbeth.

What About My Masterpiece?
Still working on it. Have to put that one report....I practiced some of my skills for masterpiece over Spring Break. Boy do I still have to work on it. I was thinking how I would mash up dance moves to medical terms. The reactions for that is something I expect, yet I shouldn't expect anything. Expect the unexpected. That coming from people who hear of an outrageous non correlated idea.
You're Always a Woman To Me
Macbeth sees Lady Macbeth as a constituent who implores the same ideas as him, but in a manner of finding a momentum do things without regrets. He's ambitious as is her's. They see eye to eye, sometimes. But to not follow up on a plan is like losing trust in the individual you're suppose to love. Macbeth wants to see that with Lady Macbeth, to feel content with his success to her tasks. Lady Macbeth is like an employer who gives no benefits except being one who gives strength to Macbeth. Someone like a drill sergeant with a contract to keeping a straight, honest marriage. The audience recognizes Lady Macbeth as a fierce, ambitious character who intends to want the joy of winning all. She's seen as no human with no conscience, no guilt whatsoever. We still yet to see more of Lady Macbeth, but a lot is said by the way of her witty words.

Macbeth Act 1 Discussion Questions (Raw)
Act I Study Questions Collaboration
FIrst come first serve - choose 2 questions each
Collaboration: Jayce, Jared, Hikaru, Marcel, Danielle
Jayce - My first picks are the first two study questions 1.1-1.2.
1.1
The effect of the witches at the beginning of the play gives off a gloomy, dark, wicked aura. Nothing beats a supernatural setting based on evil remarks and foreshadowing from the witches, yet they detest their true objective in meeting someone of value. From further reading of the play, the witches are going to meet Macbeth and Banquo when the air is unclear to see, just like fog.
1.2.
The “bloody sergeant” comes to meet the king and his attendants to describe the fierceness of Macbeth and the experiences he’s had with him on the battlefield. Macdonwald was a rebel fighting the king’s army and mercilessly slain many men. The one to kill him was Macbeth and so chopped his head and stuck it to a pike. This did not drop the moral of the enemy soldiers, so the king of Scotland regrouped with new troops and retaliated with another assault. None of the rebels faltered after such display of intimidation
Danielle- my picks are 1.3 #1, 2
1.3
In lines 1-27, the witches are talking about sinking the ship of Macbeth. The effect the witches create is one of disgust to hear them talking about sinking a ship as if it were a game. These specifics foreshadow that Macbeth will arrive by the sinking of his ship. The witches are here to create the plot while the other characters are merely dancers. Line 9 is talking about sailing in a typical sieve sailing to sink the ship. The witches prepare for Macbeth by literally casting a spell. Giving thee a wind means to help you out. But this spell could be seen as basically winding up the plot so that Macbeth will play the part the witches want him to.
Macbeth’s first line reminds me of the witches line fair is foul and foul is fair. Those that we see as evil see us as evil. The witches look really ugly and look almost demonic. They portray the typical image of a witch. The witches tell Macbeth that he will be king of Cawdor as well as Glamis. He becomes captivated in the witches visions of him as king. We know this because that’s how Banquo describes him as being. Banquo asks the witches to tell him what they see in his future and they tell him that he will be greater than Macbeth though he is lesser and he will be happier though not so happy. We know that Macbeth will kill the king and rise to his throne that way.
Jared Dube- My first picks are the 2 questions of 1.4.
1.4
Cawdor died honorably after confessing and repenting his own crimes. The basically replies that Cawdor was a chivalrous man who had completely trusted.
The king greets Banquo and Macbeth with guilt that he can never truly repay them for their heroic deeds. The king then announces that he is going to make his eldest son, Malcolm the heir to the throne. Duncan then declares that he intends to dine at Macbeth’s castle. Macbeth states he is happy for the new heir but then realizes that Malcolm is just another obstacle getting in his way of becoming king.
Hikaru - my first two picks are 1.5 #4, 1.6
1.5
Lady Macbeth’s name is Gruoch, modeled after the name Gruoch ingen Boite.
1.6
Macbeth is not ready to kill the king. He expresses his doubts and troubles of killing Duncan. In lines 1-12, Macbeth is worried that the same assassination will happen to him once he replaces the current king. Just as he is eyeing the king’s throne, other people will also want it if Macbeth is to spill Duncan’s blood. Macbeth’s violates the code of friendship with Duncan. He is his “kinsmen and his subject” so he has some sympathy towards him. His “vaulting ambition” is his motivation.
Marcel- #1 and #2 for 1.7
1.7
1. Macbeth has everything set up to murder Duncan from the offer to come and stay at his abode to the poison to place in his cup. How ever he’s worried about what will become of him after doing so and if he actually should go through with it. As a host you're not suppose to kill your guest rather do everything in your power to make them comfortable. Macbeth’s ambition outweighs the sorrow of killing duncan and this is all the motivation he needs.
2. Lady Macbeth complains for knowledge of the desolation of duncan after dinner. Macbeth tells Lady Macbeth about how he doesn't want to go through with this heinous act any longer and she responds with calling him a coward in riveted language. Lady Macbeths sticks to her taunts and ambitious pulls to make him go through with it while Macbeth stand by what's morally right but in the end Lady Macbeth dominates this scene over her husband.
FIrst come first serve - choose 2 questions each
Collaboration: Jayce, Jared, Hikaru, Marcel, Danielle
Jayce - My first picks are the first two study questions 1.1-1.2.
1.1
The effect of the witches at the beginning of the play gives off a gloomy, dark, wicked aura. Nothing beats a supernatural setting based on evil remarks and foreshadowing from the witches, yet they detest their true objective in meeting someone of value. From further reading of the play, the witches are going to meet Macbeth and Banquo when the air is unclear to see, just like fog.
1.2.
The “bloody sergeant” comes to meet the king and his attendants to describe the fierceness of Macbeth and the experiences he’s had with him on the battlefield. Macdonwald was a rebel fighting the king’s army and mercilessly slain many men. The one to kill him was Macbeth and so chopped his head and stuck it to a pike. This did not drop the moral of the enemy soldiers, so the king of Scotland regrouped with new troops and retaliated with another assault. None of the rebels faltered after such display of intimidation
Danielle- my picks are 1.3 #1, 2
1.3
In lines 1-27, the witches are talking about sinking the ship of Macbeth. The effect the witches create is one of disgust to hear them talking about sinking a ship as if it were a game. These specifics foreshadow that Macbeth will arrive by the sinking of his ship. The witches are here to create the plot while the other characters are merely dancers. Line 9 is talking about sailing in a typical sieve sailing to sink the ship. The witches prepare for Macbeth by literally casting a spell. Giving thee a wind means to help you out. But this spell could be seen as basically winding up the plot so that Macbeth will play the part the witches want him to.
Macbeth’s first line reminds me of the witches line fair is foul and foul is fair. Those that we see as evil see us as evil. The witches look really ugly and look almost demonic. They portray the typical image of a witch. The witches tell Macbeth that he will be king of Cawdor as well as Glamis. He becomes captivated in the witches visions of him as king. We know this because that’s how Banquo describes him as being. Banquo asks the witches to tell him what they see in his future and they tell him that he will be greater than Macbeth though he is lesser and he will be happier though not so happy. We know that Macbeth will kill the king and rise to his throne that way.
Jared Dube- My first picks are the 2 questions of 1.4.
1.4
Cawdor died honorably after confessing and repenting his own crimes. The basically replies that Cawdor was a chivalrous man who had completely trusted.
The king greets Banquo and Macbeth with guilt that he can never truly repay them for their heroic deeds. The king then announces that he is going to make his eldest son, Malcolm the heir to the throne. Duncan then declares that he intends to dine at Macbeth’s castle. Macbeth states he is happy for the new heir but then realizes that Malcolm is just another obstacle getting in his way of becoming king.
Hikaru - my first two picks are 1.5 #4, 1.6
1.5
Lady Macbeth’s name is Gruoch, modeled after the name Gruoch ingen Boite.
1.6
Macbeth is not ready to kill the king. He expresses his doubts and troubles of killing Duncan. In lines 1-12, Macbeth is worried that the same assassination will happen to him once he replaces the current king. Just as he is eyeing the king’s throne, other people will also want it if Macbeth is to spill Duncan’s blood. Macbeth’s violates the code of friendship with Duncan. He is his “kinsmen and his subject” so he has some sympathy towards him. His “vaulting ambition” is his motivation.
Marcel- #1 and #2 for 1.7
1.7
1. Macbeth has everything set up to murder Duncan from the offer to come and stay at his abode to the poison to place in his cup. How ever he’s worried about what will become of him after doing so and if he actually should go through with it. As a host you're not suppose to kill your guest rather do everything in your power to make them comfortable. Macbeth’s ambition outweighs the sorrow of killing duncan and this is all the motivation he needs.
2. Lady Macbeth complains for knowledge of the desolation of duncan after dinner. Macbeth tells Lady Macbeth about how he doesn't want to go through with this heinous act any longer and she responds with calling him a coward in riveted language. Lady Macbeths sticks to her taunts and ambitious pulls to make him go through with it while Macbeth stand by what's morally right but in the end Lady Macbeth dominates this scene over her husband.
