Today, The Native Pipeline traveled to Western University of Health Science to go see the human anatomy, but I couldn’t watch it because i wasn’t old enough. Although, i couldn’t see the human anatomy i did get to a see a veterinarian lab and the school campus which is very amazing and i love there art work that they have there. I learned a whole lot about bones, muscles, and reflex points. I also learned about massages and how the muscles are used to work together and relax the body it is very interesting but I am still sticking to mechanical engineering.
when i saw this movie it reminded me about my papa (great grandfather) because i remember him telling me he was forced to go to Sherman in his teen years, and it was a struggle to stay alive. he doesn’t really like to talk about it but when he does he only talks about how he was treated. he would tell me that he was spit on, slapped, and was always called names. but he said no matter how hard they tried they never broke him and he never gave in. the biggest struggle that him and his family had was food. (this is my favorite story) when him and his brother were kids they would go into the watermelon patch and lay flat as they can and eat watermelons. but the people who grew the watermelons had shotguns and would shoot any one who would trespass. so once they here the gun click they would shove watermelons down their shirts and run smiling till the people stopped tracing them. the same with cows, at night they would go into a farm and just take a cow and have it for dinner the next night. and to think he risked his life just to eat. my papa is still alive he is about 79yrs old and i hope to get more stories from him because even if they bring bad memories he would still laugh and say “damn i was crazy, i don’t know how I’m still alive” and it would make me laugh because hearing the stories he was crazy. there’s this one story where him and his brother tried to fly a cardboard box airplane off a 2story house with them sitting in it. my papa is a very interesting man and is the best story teller.

Today I was proud of you all. Everyone participated and was actively engaging. The presentation in the morning on Isolation and Connection was very fascinating. It was great to see you all working on hard on your ‘mini’ video project, that was challenging! I thought that it was super awesome to see all your intelligent words and drawings on the wall! Oh and those Oatmeal Cookies were Delicious Right!? Keep up the great Work!
The Drive to Aqua Caliente felt long to me but we made it! Boy IT WAS HOT! We learned alot about Commerce and the importance of making connections, not just through social networking but also through old fashion one on one conversation! There were representatives from Disney,CBS,NBC,AT&T,VERIZON,& MORE! It was great! it was alot to take in but continue to think about the importance of connections!
THE VIDEO GAME CHALLENGE!
The kids were challenged to pitch an idea for an Original Video Game! It had to be creative,lucrative, and COOL! THEY ONLY HAD 10 MINUTES TO CREATE AND 90 SECONDS TO PRESENT! I WAS VERY PROUD OF ALL THE KIDS BECAUSE THEY ALL TRIED SO HARD! A few lucky winners got passes to Disneyland and Universal Studios!
I’ve enjoyed meeting most of the other people here — including our lovely mentors! Some of you I haven’t gotten to talk to yet but we still have 11 days to go sooo I still have time (:
I also enjoyed the sheep brain lab and the history class the most. I am looking forward to, as well as worried about, working with the cadavers tomorrow but hopefully it won’t be as bad as everyone makes it seem.
Toodles!
Tonight, Me & who ever wants to join my adventures, are going to go rabbit hunting once again because i just want to catch one and pet it then set it free. Believe me i will catch one sooner or later, and then Im going to go running and then asleep.
p.s. i love cheesecake & pizza
I was really touched with this movie and i also learned a lot about how boarding schools were back 60+ years ago. this is a great movie, i think, for history classes covering this time in america because no one has really heard of this incident. it has a considerable impact on people ,especially native american people.
I am having a great time & i just got to say penguins are the best, and the Native program i love everyone here they are the best too.!
