Perspectives Losing physical capacity can be a condition that is out of our hands, in this case, the story of life and overcoming of a woman is shown as an example of overcoming and life. To start with some context it is important to know the background of these images, which are the graphic sample of an accident lived by an artist some years ago. In the images we find reflected sculptures of the bones of the human body and how it looks in a healthy way and without any injury, sculpture created by the same woman who suffered the accident showing herself as a reflection of herself being healthy and the painful final position in the accident, which for her being an artist was decisive, "taking away" the possibilities of continuing with her passion, which led to a depression because of the few chances she had to return to make sculptures or paintings. The images and the concept of this artist is based on making us reflect about the physical capabilities that our body offers us t...

  Quality time      In the midst of the stress that classes, training and work can generate for a college student, I think it is very important to learn to manage time and be able to set aside quality time for ourselves and with the people we love and love us, this, adding the winter and the cold that usually generates a depressing effect on people, makes even more important the company and time with the people who warm our souls.      S'mores for me was something new when I arrived in the United States, so for me it means strengthening my relationship with my new friends in Clarke, so in the image for me reflects the search for warmth and sweetness that bring moments like these to our lives, looking for a little escape from the responsibilities and possible stress that we present in our daily lives by performing a different activity.           In the image I think it represents the warmth and sweetness that we talked abou...

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...
