Final Reflection

Omar Rios

Myth class

6/4/20

You know me Omar Rios from my post on this class. But where I started wasn’t Washington where I’m guessing most you all lived. I lived in California, Norwalk my hometown where I was born and raised for 15 years of my life. I wasn’t the smartest kid or the coolest in school I was just there. Relaxing with the lads in the 100-degree weather playing dodgeball on the 20 foot by 10 food concrete patch under the trees. Always be playing the same as always even teams the same rules. Summer days were nice long walks to the store or the park a few 10 mins down the road obviously not always peaceful many accidents happened because the road was really strangely built. Most of my elementary school I was pretty troublesome I got detention every once in a while ( like mostly every week ). Most of the time get lunch to eat walk over to the detention center write some things and left simple as that I found ways to make it faster and easier but these sons of ***** said to do it again like dam, not my problem yall got outsmarted. It was about 6th grade where I got my stuff together and started trying a little more in school. There was a teacher that helped me learn better I would relax in there class when there was a break or had lunch luckily my two favorite ones were mr.block and my history teacher both really great and had you understand the lecturer and all the subject, as well as mr.block he was so good my 7th year there he became an administrator his second year in the school system and had the chance to run there few first state test exams that now are used in the grade school systems. In 2016 I moved to Washington with my family we had gone to visit last year and we enjoyed it was really nice and we enjoyed the green view of trees and nice places. So we moved and we moved to the city of Kenmore. Nice place quiet and peaceful went to Kenmore middle school for 2 years and meet amazing people who I still know were still friends to this day. The peak was highschool Ingleemore highschool where do I start. Man whoever made that school I’m not sure what they were thinking with them putting it on a hill that takes years to get to rip to anyone who had a manual car like rip bro hows the clutch holding up. But it wasn’t entirely bad made more friend who is closer to me and we relate to each other a lot. Some of the teachers were pretty alright. Most clubs were pretty fun we did get in a lot of trouble doing dumb stuff but the man did we make a name for our selves we even had our own spot for I believe all four years we didn’t care if it was raining that was are spot we ain’t letting no one taking it over. It was a top tier spot you basically looked down over the entire courtyard and we would mostly control the table also under it. Everyone knew us so we played ball on the center not far from the spot. In my 11th year of high school, my parent wanted to mover over to a different part of Washington only about a 30 min highway drive to kent where I now live. Here I went to school at kent-meridian high school. Not that bad definitely got the spirit but are team wow. I had a blast here learning different skills of art like painting, ceramics, and welding one of the best classes I could take. I had a lot of ups and downs on my history test and math one, not my strongest subjects but teachers were great. Senior year I took a sports med class that was fun and interactive learning some cool sports accidents and treatments and some first aid with CPR. And some bandaging techniques that are very helpful for sprained ankles or you have planter fascitis which is just flat feet. Also during school, I got a job and started working a lot of hour towards my semester 2 I worked a lot more than what school wanted but they didn’t need to know that it also around the time I had completed my manger test or the ServSafe test which is the high level of food safety and mostly need to work in the high-performance kitchen so most chefs have this. It different from the food safety cards people need to work basic food jobs but I end it up closing most day even during school (12pm is when we closed) and go home shower and do homework for maybe a few hours and go to bed I didn’t have the first period so I could sleep in till like 8 ish 9 ish and still be on time. But I would be super tired and would fall asleep in most classes that were not interesting most teacher would be cool with it I was passing there class so they let me sleep. It was a blast with work and all that I picked up new hobbies meeting new people. I made a friend who learned stocks and larned how to trade currency and got me into cars. A guy who offered me a job in a companion he was starting up making a friendly company. And many usual customers with connection really great people. Now I still work at my job and attend school driving 1 hour and a half to get to Bothell which I don’t mind because I like driving but dam this traffic really be brutal. I was really unfortunate with this quarter and last quarter that I had some teachers not do to the fullest what they could have done to teach better. Not this class this one is top tier one of my favorites and I really enjoyed it.

Death & Resurrection Challenge

I lived a simple life of a teenage student who did my homework got decent grades had a crush who I didn’t talk to. But one day I was walking to school when I saw my crush walk down the street, but a trucker not watching the road was coming at her at a high rate of speed. I ran to push her out of the way, now the problem was how do I get of this. *Truck hits me and I die* I awaken and now see that I’m in a strange room with some women sitting in a fancy chair she says to me “you have died in your world and will be reincarnated to a different world where you shall defeat the devil. You can bring one thing with you anything you choose ” so I thought long and hard and I choose her to go with me and we teleported to the world where we would fight. Her very not pleased that I choose here to go with me. The quest to defeat the devil and the quest find the ultimate sword the cross and the holy shield the bibble .

I did some research on pan - gu because the video he uploaded that didn't talk a lot about him. And I was curious about him because he was not mentioned so much and my interest also in Asian culture lead me to research him more but he is a person to be a central figure in Chinese Daoist legends. Pan Gu, is said to have come from chaos (an egg) with two horns, two tusks, and a hairy body. the story goes he separated the heaven and earth, setting the sun, moon, stars, and planets in place, and dividing the four seas and was all accomplished from Pan Gu’s knowledge of yin-yang, the inescapable principle of duality in all things.

Creation Myths & Other Worlds Challenge Post a picture from your home that is evidence of an "other world." (and explain how)

I think this is what the prompt my professor is asking for was a photo of another world preferences. So i choose one of my anime that i have watched and has some connections to myth. I have another one that relates more to myth. So this is blue exorcists really one of my favorite ones.  This anime involves, demons, gods, demi-gods, half breeds, special animals special powers etc. But yeah i feel like this relates to the another world context because whole different world with gods and etc. also recommend the anime blue exorcist

Introduction

Hello, my name is Omar and I'm a freshman in UW Bothell. I work and stream video games on twitch, I spend most of my time watching youtube and learning about cars or games. I spend lots of time watching anime as well but I like sleeping most of all these things. The lectures were differently interesting and it would have been better to have these discussions in person in the class.
