Final Reflection Blog Post

As some people might know, my name is Pablo Henao and I was born and raised here in Washington. My whole family is from Colombia so I was raised learning Spanish first then English, but I’ve never been great at speaking, writing or reading. I still struggle with those things in both languages. I went to Woodin elementary, which I’d say was a rough start. I’ve always been the youngest in the class since I am supposed to be a grade below, but my mom pushed me to be one year behind my brother when it came to school. I always had a hard time in school and couldn’t learn as much as everyone else, I was always behind. When it came to math though it got my attention, I didn’t have to spell or read sentences to understand. Just numbers (and now variables). I also started orchestra in 4th grade, learned to play the violin. Never really liked it, but I played for a long time. Going forward in time passing all the chaos in middle school, I stopped playing violin when I got to high school which was a relief for me. Instead of taking orchestra I took Computer Programming which always got me interested in, I really liked everything except it was very confusing because it’s a completely new language that you had to learn. The next year I took C# thinking it would be the same, but it was more chaotic since I had no clue what I was doing. Even though it was hard I wanted to go into college and go further with this, but not because deep down I wanted to. My parents always told me that “I should go into computer science” just because I mentioned it once a long time ago, and that wasn’t the start of what my parents told me what I should go into. When I wanted to take a different class, they said no and made me take something else (like orchestra), it’s been like that forever and not letting me make my own decisions when it comes to school. Probably one of the reasons I didn’t like school. So, since I didn’t like school and I had way too much time in my hand I wanted to look for a job, didn’t know where but one friends recommended Chipotle since he was working there too and I applied. About a day or so later I got a call saying to bring information because I got accepted, at first, I was very scared because I never worked with food and was meeting new people. As time passed, I really liked it there, honestly made some wonderful friends there I won’t forget. Moving on to senior year, the most stressful time has arrived. College applications. Stressing you out thinking you won’t get accepted, where you wanted to go. I only applied to 2 places that everyone knew about and 1 that I didn’t tell anyone. UW, UWB, and Western Washington University. A part of me really wanted to go there, but I was going to be quite far away since I couldn’t drive at the time and one other reason that will remain hidden. So, when I got accepted to UWB, I made my final decision and decided to go there. At the start of UWB I had an idea of what I wanted to major in, and it was a major I wanted to do and explore. Something my parents or anyone else told me to do, something I’d enjoy. I want to major in Electrical Engineering and work at Microsoft, sounds like a big dream but not impossible. I want to live in a peaceful area that rains a lot, many trees and plants outside. Also, I want to go to Japan as many times as I can. Explore as much as I can, learn more things, and enjoy as much as I can.

Death & Resurrection Challenge

One day when I was listening to music in the woods a pack of wolves, chickens and hamsters killed me. I thought I was just sleeping, feeling the nice cold breeze flowing through but when I opened my eyes I saw death looking right at me. We were staring at each other for a solid 2 min when he said he had to continue his job, so he made a brief summary of how I died and if he wanted me to join him since he had to pick someone else that died and I said "sure". I was really wondering how death went to so many places very fast, so one we took a couple of steps I felt like I was sucked into a black whole. A second later we were in somewhere completely different. Death then said it was time to walk, so when we started to walk he told me that I had a choice of either staying here on earth or depending on how I was I go somewhere else. Right away I said I wanted to stay on earth as a spirit. He asked why I did and I told him that I wanted to see how far people would go and when the world will start to burn. At that point he teleported me to some where very nice and high and told me to wait there. He never came back, but as time passed by I had a great view of how the world was changing. I also got to be in the dream place I always, closing my eyes I still felt the nice cold breeze flow through

Heroes & Quests Challenge

Goku: Kaio-Ken's red, Kamehameha's are blue, Shenron asked for my wish, and I wished for you.

Kaio-ken is red, Ki is blue, I've beaten Freeza, And Kid Buu too.

Krillin died once, Krillin died twice, Goku brings him back to life, To see Krillin die thrice

This poem is about a hero named Goku that trains a lot to defeat villains that try to destroy or take over Earth. Krillin is a friend of his that has died multiple times trying to help him defeat them, but he brings him back using the dragon balls he collects to summon a dragon called Shenron that grants him one wish.

Monster challenge:

Something that people are scared of is being sad and alone, and with that I decided to draw stitch. The reason I drew him was because there was a point where he felt alone and sad, and wasn't really sure where to go. He viewed himself as the ugly duckling when he didnt feel part of something. You notice when people are sad or alone and you can tell they don't want to feel that way.

Howdy human beings, my name is Pablo and I am a freshman at UW bothell. I work and do my school assignment, that's probably the only serious part about me. I watched all of The Office which is very good, watch some anime, and I play a lot of video games. I spend most of the day listening to music, I dont like country or hard metal music. To start off with about the lecture, I notice a lot of threes. Like the 3 bothers, acronyms and songs. Something interesting was new words I didnt know Greek myths were embedded in, like cereal. These are new things that are nice to learn because it's very intriguing.
