poem and dreams:Lacie

Born on February 4th 1921 was Betty Friedan
She wrote The Feminine Mystique, about finding fulfillment beyond traditional roles for a woman.
Co-founded the National Organization for Women, served as its first president.
Stay in California or go to New York City, to New York city she went.
Was a reporter for a short time then got married and had three children as a homemaker.
She wrote her book because all of those Woman who played that role were fakers.
They had a right to be heard, they had a right to play any role they wanted.

Social revolution had started and she became the significant role in the Women's Right.
She even fought for abortion rights with all her might.
To seek help for working both inside and outside of the home, Friedan published The Second Stage.
She would do all of this hard work for women even without getting paid an hourly wage.
She is remembered as a leading voice for women's rights for the 20th century.
If a guy got in her way, they might end up in the penitentiary
On February 4th, 2006 in Washington D.C she died
If I said she didn't go down in history as one of the greatest female activist I would've lied.

My dream is to become a state trooper and make this world a safer place. My dream is for citizens to not fear cops, with everything going on right now about police shootings its hard for people to trust cops. It shouldn't be like that, we are hear to serve and protect.
 

Poems and Dreams from Tommy Marcarello

Elon's Futuristic Dreams

Elon is a man who you will find in a comfy chair,

whether it be in the seat by a computer,

in a drivers seat of an all electric car,

in the passenger seat of a multi million dollar space craft,

or possibly in the seat of a super sonic car.

Elon started in one seat in particular,

he started in the seat of a computer chair,

creating what is widely used today,

what is used to transfer money from one pal to another,

PayPal, giving him the funding for his dreams.

In an age of looking and dreaming to the future,

he brings the future into today,

with the all electric cars,

the solar cell company and other green companies,

their needs to be someone to be bold enough to say why not have it now.

My dreams

My dreams are simple and complex all at once. I have loved computers since I was a child and I don't believe that I have a time where I was not toying with one. I broke the computer about as many times as I fixed it, which was so many times that I have lost track. I loved the process of breaking something down and building it back up, because its a new puzzle every time. 

Poems and Dreams From Mark Reed

Henry Ford's Quadricycle

A horseless carriage for a passenger,

Resting on top, is a seat in the center,

The ethanol powered engine, will spit and sputter,

The steering operated like a boat's rudder,

The wheels made of steel and wires,

Because it rides on 4 bicycle tires,

Although it goes, the lack of torque is a curse,

You can go forward, but not in reverse,

With an astounding 4 horsepower, 

You can get to 20 miles per hour,

The transmission only has two gears,

This  machine was the foundation for the upcoming years,

Henry grew up on a farm with a shovel and sickle,

From watch-making to steam engines his life was fickle,

But in the end, his legacy began with the Quadricycle. 

Real Life Experience

My vision is that one day engineers will have a minimum of 5 years of hands on experience in the engineering profession they wish to pursue. For example, if a person wants to become a mechanical engineer, then he should have a minimum of 5 years of experience as a mechanic. 

In those five years, the person will be able to see how things were engineered before their time. They will see designs that are great and they will see designs that are not so great. From these experiences, the individual will have a better foundation to engineer machines, buildings, electrical projects and they will actually understand what they are engineering. 

In the five years of hands on experience, the individual will also be able to intelligently decide if they want to become an engineer in that particular field. Instead of going to school and building a significant amount of debt in school loans, only to find out they are miserable engineering and designing things. 

My reasoning for believing this is because I have seen graduate "engineers" that don't know how to measure the distance between two holes on a piece of sheet metal, they don't know the difference between a sprocket and a gear, and/or they don't understand why we use different types/sizes of wire for certain applications. 

If I had the chance, I would create an Engineering School where your final grades were based on practical application. Not just your academic standing.

Roy Fox Lichtenstein

The Ohio State University Grad

Born in New York City, New York on October 27, 1923

Later dying in New York City, September 29, 1997

Growing up on the upper West-side of Manhattan,

Going into the Parsons school of design, he took watercolor classes

Then taking classes at the Art students League,

Where he studied under realist painter Reginald Marsh

After Graduating from Franklin School for Boys

He attend School at Ohio State,

Only to be interrupted by being drafted into WWII

Serving in the European front

After the War, he finished his degree with Ohio State

Where he decides to start to create art in the pop cultural kind of way

Using inspiration and styles from comic strips and Ads

He created his most famous piece titled “Whaam!”

Even though he was married twice

Having two sons, His life was devoted to art,

and which is still documented by being in multiple museums

and with awards like The National Medal of Arts in 1995

Part Two: One of my biggest dreams is to really travel and see the world. Not just like beaches and sand but like historical things, like different places of Europe, or the great pyramids, but i would also like to get away from modern society as well and travel to places where it is mostly nature and exotic places as well

Natalie Linder

Part One:

Eyes:

Strokes of the brush

A still that can reach your soul

From Paris to Berlin

We are all the same

A light bulb illuminates the day

Then dusk arrives

So do the monsters held inside

Glance at those around you

Look past what you see

Glimpses of their soul

More revealing than their Tee

Crows feet and smile lines

Eyes never change

Years of struggling art

How to be set apart

I paint what I feel

But do they feel what I paint

Trusting those around me

Push me towards my dreams

Remember the eyes

They are always what they seem

Part Two: My dream is to one day start my own winery and have a bed and breakfast attached for visitors to stay in. Growing and producing my own product is very exciting for me. I love marketing and learning how to run a business. There are three different kinds of grapes: American, European, and Native American Muscadine. There are white wines and red wines. Red wine usually has a thicker, sweet taste, such as Merlot. White wine is usually a lighter taste, such as Chardonnay.

There are a lot of different factors to consider when growing wine. The location of the vineyard is a major factor in what type of wine can be grown. Growing wine in a generally warm climate changes the taste compared to wines that are grown in cool climate locations. If you look at the picture on the left you can see the difference in seeds. This shows that when the seed is green it is less ripe which causes a more tart taste and when the seed is tan it is more ripe which will give it a sweeter taste. It takes around three years for grapes to mature enough to produce fruit.

Growing grapes is a hard process that takes a lot of patience and diligence. I think it’s important that we spend time working on things that relax us. Grapes can be an example for people. They take time to mature and you won’t reap the benefits in the short term, but if you are patient and wait for the result then there is a great outcome.

Having a bed and breakfast on my winery will be the icing on the cake of my life. This would be a great place for people to come relax and enjoy locally grown wine. They could travel throughout the grounds and enjoy a low key environment. I think that live today is extremely fast paced and I would take pride in giving people a place to relax.

These dreams are just dreams as of now. I am not sure where I will live or where life will take me but part of life is making decisions. We get the chance to make conscious decisions of where we will end up in life. Starting slow, maybe a few acres of grapes at a time would be amazing. We usually can’t achieve our dreams overnight but if we stay focused on our goals and work towards achieving them, then anything is possible.

Poems and Dreams by Christina Peck

She was born in the midwest on a dairy farm,

but knew she did not belong

Her inspiration came from her experiences outdoors;

flowers and bones caught her attention the most

She felt she could not paint the desert mountains enough;

there was always something new when she watched them

She was often alone, but also not;

the New Mexico desert was company for her

She found beauty in many places,

the New York skyline, the view out of an airplane window, and the desert

She took time to get to know the places she loved,

she camped, hiked, and slept in the desert to experience it all

She knew the place she found was where she belonged,

but what she had truly found was herself

Georgia O'Keefe

Part Two:

The biggest dream I have is to move to Colorado, own a ranch on acres of land, and be somewhat self-sufficient with my family. I think teaching my children about doing things on their own through our own land would be a great gift to give them. I'd love to have a large family and room to accommodate family and friends during the holidays. Even though it may seem cheesy, the biggest vision I have is fully decorating my log cabin for Christmas, having a huge, 12 foot tree in the living room in front of a window overlooking the mountains, and having my entire family over to eat dinner together. To me, this would be fully achieving success and happiness.

Poem and Dreams Exercise: Steven Harman

Henry Ford 

What comes into your mind when you think Henry Ford

Maybe its an assembly line a truck and many more

He has now become a man we will never forget again 

But he started out small in Dearborn, Michigan

Henry was from a family of famers 

But he knew he had a different calling

In Detroit is where he hoped he could stand without falling

He started with an apprenticeship and worked his way up

He took his lumps

But always looked at life like a half full cup

Then in 1903 he formed the Ford Motor Company

Which is now a household name for you and me

Then the world was changed forever with the Model T 

The first affordable car for a normal guy

Then the assembly line made production fly

Fords influences on he industry changed history

And for all the cars that get sold and taken off the floor

No one will ever forget Henry Ford  

Part Two: One dream that I have always had would be to go to exotic and different places of the world and explore and live in the wild. I have always had an interest in hiking and camping and I love the outdoors. I would love to to travel to the rocky mountains or the Caribbean and live off the land for a few weeks. I would only bring a few essential things with me and try to see if I could do it. I think this is something that I have dreamed about for a long time and hope to accomplish it someday. I think this would be the ultimate test of who you are and how strong you are. I want to push myself and I think it would be so peaceful getting to live with nature for a few weeks. This is something that I really want to do before I die.
