It’s the last day of my first week, it was really good. I’ve learned how to do many things over this week. I am excited for what else is in store. Today we listened to a Marijuana Prevention presentation. I learned some things from it. Overall my week was good.
This week of step up, we learned about drugs and subsistence abuse overall like vaping, tobacco, and marijuana. What I noticed throughout all of these issues is the number of young people that are using it. New policies and laws that specially target reducing that number of minors are more and more common throughout the world as well. This week we got more familiar with Animaker and Storybird with posts and animations. – Salma H.
Today we learned about the effects that marijuana could have on your body and health.

Today is my 5th day of work and I’ve caught up with most of my work. I will work hard to finish all of it. So far animating is fun but it takes a long time to finish.
Today we have more work time than usual. And I’m kind of glad because it gives me time to finish the unfinish.

Today I learned about vaping. It was mostly focused on vaping prevention for the youth. I’ve seen my fellow youth smoke and vape before yet it always surprises me when I hear someone talk about it. Some facts I already knew. For example, there is more nicotine in a vape than a pack of cigarettes and that vaping can lead to tobacco use. I just wish there was more ‘evidence’ to prove that vaping is bad. I already think vaping is bad but with so little facts about how its bad for you it makes others skeptical on quitting.

Today we learned about Bicultural Healthy Living. I am still unsure about how it works but one of the benefits from it is improvement in your emotional wellbeing. Which I find surprising and not surprising at the same time. From personal experiences, I’ve also experienced this. I didn’t know at that time that it was called Bicultural Healthy Living.

Today, we went through a presentation about vaping. We learned about the dangers of vaping and about what it is. We played a jeopardy game afterwards. Then we were assigned to make another 30 second animaker about vaping and make some storybird posts.
Day 4: July 16
Today is a catch up on work and make up hours day. We have some new interns that had started this week so Stephen wants everyone to catch up and be on the same page. I will be working on some of my animakers and editing them.
Today was a good day I got caught up on my animations. I figured out how to use Storybird. I also really like Storybird because you can be so creative. Animaker has got really easy to use which is a very good thing.
Today we reviewed our bi-cultural living assignments and these are my thoughts on it.
