Being a student athlete is something that involves many types of responsibilities and burdens, whether they are emotional burdens, workloads or even physical burdens, I am sure that many of us who are part of the visual literacy class understand this responsibility that comes with being a student athlete.  In the last few weeks as a team we have increased loads, so we have more hours of training and a higher level of intensity even though we are not competing this semester, but this has generated a higher level of fatigue, which makes it a little more difficult to perform in activities such as homework for college, class schedules and work and concentration in class. Many times as athletes we have energy peaks that help us to have a better concentration and performance in the activities we perform, but unfortunately, there are days when those energy peaks are only enough for sports or for classes, showing a low performance in any of the two. So I think it is important that we are a...

Art in Clarke      From my perspective and having had this different experience in the class, I think it is important to emphasize the amount of talent and creativity among us, allowing us to learn and open our perspective to different activities.      The works that most caught my attention are in the following image, because they are works in which you can see the intentions of the artists, as for example in the work of the skull with horns we can find how the artist seeks to reflect a symmetrical balance, because dividing the picture in half we can see how both sides tend to have harmony and the same features, this being the goal of the author. On the other hand, in the following image again we can see the author's intention to use symmetry, but in this case it was also carried out the use of color contrast and textures, evidenced in the black box where you see the silhouette of a human body but on both sides is reflected in reverse color but without los...

I think it is important to recognize how over time aspects such as self-care has become more and more important, by this I mean the increased importance of self-love and strategies to achieve this goal of self-care, journalism has become one of the strategies recommended by psychologists to their patients in search of an emotional adjustment generating an impact and a positive response.      My personal goal when I started using this strategy was to find a way to put my thoughts and feelings into something physical (writing in a notebook) in order to release or reflect better about the situation and personally it has been very effective, I have found a way to relax and reflect in order to understand myself better, this exercise has also helped me to reflect on the interpersonal relationships I have.     The other aspect that makes journalism important is because it helps me to organize my time, my tasks and my activities a little more, helping me to fulfill my r...

     For me home is everywhere, from the people who accompany you and the experiences we live. I have been making a new place my home for three years now and it has been a very interesting and beautiful process, in spite of the ups and downs that have crossed my path I have always found a reason to be thankful for the people around me and the situations that have made me learn. I would like to start by explaining what my childhood home is based on and that is the one I know best, in my country and with my family and friends, where I first learned to do everything. My home was initially formed by my parents living together, my older brother and my 3 older sisters, being me the youngest of my siblings, we also had my paternal grandparents and some very close aunts, who for me were my home when I was younger, as well, there are moments of which I have intact memories and make me feel at home just thinking about them, like for example the Sundays that were with my family, goi...

Personally, soccer has given meaning to my life, and although it may sound a bit exaggerated to some, that's how I see it. Over the years I have discovered what makes me feel alive and without a doubt soccer tops this list. During these 11 years playing soccer, I realized how important it has been for my personal development because it has forced me to go through different situations full of new emotions and taking me to live unique moments, like creating new friendships, in my case I found my best friends thanks to soccer, and it is incredible the complicity and support you feel when you create a bond with a person and have the same goals, soccer helped me to create these strong relationships with people who understand the rhythm of life that you lead when you become an athlete, knowing that many times you have to sacrifice time with family and friends, having to sacrifice sleeping late on the weekend, even time at school and classes but always knowing that you have a responsibili...

Hola, hola!  I'm Juani and I'm the creator of this blog, to begin with I would like you to get to know me a little bit and give you some context about what my blog is about. My name is Juanita Tibocha, I'm 20 years old and I'm the youngest daughter among 5 children, I'm Colombian but since 3 years ago I live in the United States, I currently study psychology and play soccer for the Clarke University team, being soccer my biggest passion and having been practicing it for 11 years, other of my hobbies are dancing and photography although I've never developed any of these two skills to the fullest. Starting this blog was a bit complex because I think that creativity and expressing myself in written media are not one of my strengths, so I decided to make the blog about moments of my life that I have been able to capture in photos, which are the proof of different stages of life and circumstances that we as human beings go through, reflected in the captured images wh...
