One specific event that changed my view on education is, a time where in highschool as a class we went to 3 different museums, Art, Science and History and we got to see many different sculptures, different prices of history, like certain people who changed History forever, such as Nelson Mandela, Harriet Tubman (She led slaves on the train and fled the country) and many more. We also saw the different buildings that were minimized in the art showcase that we went to. The science museum, we saw different sculptures, like the first ever made plane, lightbulb and electricity etc. The feel of each building was very unique and it brought a bit of nostalgia reading and understanding the history behind those people, objects and many more. This changed my view on Education because it taught me a different way of how to think about things and how they work and how I can understand them better. 

Another event that Changed my view on Education is a time when we were taught about WW1 and 2 and we watched a movie inspired by it called 1917 and we also watched a slavery movie inspired by what colored people back in the late 1880’s went through and the movie is called “12 years a slave”, this although doesn’t change my veiw on education but it overall changes how I veiw different peices of history and how it impacted the world around us.

The start of the pandemic was a huge deal for me, and probably for the whole population of students in New York City, this had a great impact on my education as well as how I looked at it. Things after the DOE announced they will close the schools went downhill, for the schools and institutions, because at first students were so glad, that we were off for a few weeks, but then it turned into a few months, then an entire year, which was easy at all. There were many ways in which were able to learn and work virtually, which we have not tried before, or did not know exactly existed, this made it difficult for students, as well as teachers since working virtually, isn’t the same thing as working in person, which classmates present and working together, it made it harder for some of us to learn since some of us are visual and manual learners. Technology was also a small difficulty, I had heard from classmates and other students that they weren’t able to get their hands on a device, and/or did have the access to internet or WIFI at home, which made it impossible for them to attend class virtually. Being in class during those months, was difficult since sometimes attending class in bed or in the living room made it distracting and hard to concentrate sometimes too tired I would fall asleep in the middle of class, or the living room or kitchen will be loud I wouldn’t hear my classes or I would get distracted, gladly my internet worked most of the time. There were some days that the google classroom site would crash, lag, or stop loading, I couldn’t get into some of my classes, and sometimes my laptop’s mic wasn’t working, or even the camera. In certain classes, I was asked to do manual work, such as small models or projects, but my arts and crafts stores were kind of far, and I didn’t have any materials at home, or enough to complete them, this made it even harder because I was scared to go out and probably get sick
