Guest Speaker: Kat Brandy's Presentataion

     The guest speaker we had in class by the name Kat Brandy has shared some interesting ideas in class while presenting her portion of the presenation with partner Mr. Henry Curtis. Kat's presentation comes as a suprise to me as she talks about people and the experement of student being inmate and guards. Kat mentioned that we are a web of life. The web of life can be a compared to how the world works and the connection of people to one another. People work together regardless of their cultural background to keep the world a better place. This goes together with what Kat mention about the experiment that they run witht the students. The experiment was to let the student perform as inmates and guards. She explains that the experiment went well.
      Another part of the presentation that i enjoyed a lot was her personal situation that she shared with us. I find it hard to believe at first when she shared on how she has gun pointed at her, mobbed so many times but still she manage to solve the situation. During the presentation that day she was one of the courageous people i've ever met. These are the kinds of things that deals with life and death situation but gladly she had a way with people. Also, i agree when she told us that people in prison want to give back but they don't know how to do it. In relation with class, its the relationship between people and their environment. Sometimes its our surrounding that can change a person. For example, when someone goes to prison that person is surrounded by inmates, dirty cells, and guards. Its very uncomfortable and that person can go through different kind of emotions but mostly scared and lonely. In order to connect with other people we have to help them out. It is our responsibility to help them find their way. Everybody wants to do something but not everyone knows how to do it. The youth today can make the wave and save a life. A wave that reaches out to other people who needed help and tell them that there help is on the way.
