Voting 2018 - November 6th!

-

I once had the idea to do a "Love March," to counteract the common belief that marches, protests, the public coming together in general to raise awareness for social issues is inherently destructive, negative, and painful. It doesn't need to be. We should rejoice in our privilege in the United States that we are able to do such acts of spreading information - not everywhere in the world allows that.


Friendly reminder to vote this year on Nov. 6th!

Early voting begins October 17th.
You must be already registered by October 12th.

If you are not already registered, try to do so by the end of next week because it takes almost a month for the process to complete!

If you do not know how to register, here is a link on how to do so:

If you do not have access to a printer, the UNCG Jackson Library is open to the public for registration from September 4th through October 4th, 10-4pm, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. You do NOT have to be a student to go there and register!

Once you have registered, you should do your own research on who you want to vote for!

If you don't know where to start, here is a list of the candidates for 2018 for Guilford County:

Please don't think I am an expert by any means! However, this information is what I do have, and I may be wrong but... Voting is important! Do what you can!

Mr. Zidek, Chemistry King

The first day of class we all piled into the fake room made up of foldable walls and sat at our desks, quiet for a moment and waiting. Mr. Zidek was sitting at his computer and made no sign of getting up from it. The chatter increased slowly as we realized he didn't mind us enjoying ourselves on the very first day. It was the last class of our schedules, too, so I'm sure he figured it was going to be a tricky semester. Plenty of students were CTE (Career and Technical Engineering) kids who, if you don't know Weaver, are the part-time students from other schools. Certainly, they hadn't signed up for Weaver to take a Chemistry class... They were probably there for the automotive or construction departments. What they probably didn't expect, though, was the opportunity to have an incredibly kind and knowledgeable teacher who guided us in improving our understanding of science. One of those students is a friend of mine. I didn't know he'd be in the class,

Here's a sneak peak into my good friend  Cristián 's photography! The piece in the background was my Senior Study in High School at Weaver Academy for Performing and Visual Arts. Shout out to Woodsie and Cozart  -- my teachers in the Visual Arts department -- for an amazing experience in the arts as a teen. Wanted to take this moment to say thank you to my friends that have supported me through my artistic endeavors, as well as life in general, otherwise I would NOT have made it here without you all! I feel like I am on the edge of a big turning point in my life, and I know you guys will be the ones to push me over it (in the best way). Check out more photographs of me as an awkward model taken by him Here! And more importantly, check out more of  Cristián 's work on his Instagram page Th ere! What is art but expression?
