For my intro, I want to use this song ‘Brave’ by Sara Bareilles. I choose this song because it gives me strength to move on in life. Whenever I feel that I can’t do anything anymore or I give up I listened this song. It always makes me feel better and believe in myself that I can do. One of the line “Say what you wanna say and let the words fall” is my favorite because it encouraging the openness and fostering the communication. I see people who want to say something but they feel shy and keep that inside, So, I think we should being more open. Overall this song tried to show that we can be anything we want in our life. We just need to be brave and shouldn’t give up no matter how the hard situation is.

Jasleen Aujla- Media share 2
After reading the pink by Andrea chu, I noticed that She was explaining her personal experience as being a transgender. She explained the idea of feminism and what being feminism mean in a society. She was talking about the history of transgender that how they changed the feminist movement and what difficulties they faced. They are not appreciated by people. Chu also faced many difficulties in her way. But finally she succeed in what she wanted. The one thing that surprised me was that after transition she didn’t feel like women but still she was not regretting or sad. Even though she was happy with it.
I want to share this photo because it connects with chu’s text that how transgender faced difficulties. They are disrespected by our society. People say everyone is equal but somehow they still discriminated in our community.
Jasleen Aujla- Zoom meeting 1 summary
Unfortunately I was unable to join the meeting but after watching it I understand how this course will be. In this meeting I clearly understand the syllabus and work we have to do in this term. This is my freshman year and I didn’t use open lab in high school but after watching the meeting I learn how to use this. We have to do media share where we have to share a link/image or video that says something about who we are and where we are. There was an essay “A word’s meaning can often depend on who says it”. It was interesting because she started essay saying that words don’t mean anything and later she was talking about a particular word that has different meanings. She tried to show that words meaning can be changed over time or by some reasons. I found this interesting. The way you explain the text was amazing and I can’t wait to come in next session.
(I have no questions for now because some of questions I had and other students asked that. So I got answer)
