School Talk: Let's Wrap it Up

Hi everyone! This is the last episode of the "School Talk" series. In this episode, I talk about the general ideas and takeaways I learned from making this series. Even though this was for my Grad/Capstone Project, I genuinely enjoyed seeing this side of my teachers and classmates. I hope you guys did too. Thanks for everything, Ara xx

Student Talk W/ Jergin Herboso

Have you ever been in an accelerated education program? Examples are IB, AP, AIG, and Early College. There are other examples out there, and we talk about our experiences. Because of this, we have both had high expectations for us, and it had impacted our character and mental health. We question if this type of education is worth the stress and hard work. Even if you are not in accelerated learning, there are some things we have in common. I hope you guys gain some insight about this topic. - Ara xx

Interview W/ my Principal and Counselor?? Ft. Ms. Hutchens and Mr. Kincaid

Hello everyone! As I am getting closer to graduation, I realize the value of my principal, Ms. Hutchens, and my guidance counselor, Mr. Kincaid. Students do not see them on a daily basis, like teachers, but they are still equally important. They also have a load of responsibilities and they are there to help you. This interview highlights those responsibilities and while it may not be the same for traditional schools, there should be some similarities. Enjoy! - Ara xx

Teacher Talk W/ Mrs. Williams, Mr. Womick, Mrs. Dearman, and Mr. Huffman

Hi everyone, here is another episode with some of my favorite teachers. This episode is more of an interview-type episode, but there is a large amount of insight about different perspectives, teaching responsibilities, and why teachers work the way that they do. Every student encounters a teacher, but do they actually know what they do on a day-to-day basis? This is what this episode is for. Hopefully this helps you students realize that your teachers are worth respecting, at least the good ones are :). Have a great week! - Ara xx

Student Talk: How students interact with each other

Hello everyone! Here is another episode related to my graduation project. As you can see in the title, we talk about how students interact, based on our own experiences. We talk about being bullied, character development, being a people pleaser, and so much more. I hope there is something that you can take away from this. Enjoy the episode! P.S. The audio is quite messy because we were passing around the only mic we had; I'm sorry for the inconvenience. :') - Ara xx

Student Talk: How do students feel about teachers?

Hi everyone, this is the first episode of a new segment called __ Talk! I will be covering more bases once I reach different people. This is all for my graduation project where I hope to improve the student-teacher relationship by showing some sort of understanding between the two very different groups. This is the first episode, and I record with one of my very close friends, Melvin Cedillos! I hope you guys like the first episode of this new chapter. As always, enjoy the episode - Ara xx

Student Talk W/ Miguel Peña: What do students struggle with?

Hi everyone, this is another episode that goes along with my graduation project! This episode, I am joined with Miguel Peña, an underclassman and good friend of mine. We talk about a large range of things: anxiety, the generational gap, and how hard it is to be a student that maintains other things that may or may not be school related. With most of my audience being in the student range, I hope that this can be relatable to some extent. Also, I hope that this gives teachers some insight about what some students may be struggling with. Enjoy the episode! *There may be a few explicit words slipped out, so that is why it is labeled as explicit.* - Ara xx

Teacher Talk W/ Mr. Mitchell: Teacher Beef???

Hi everyone! This is part of my new segment where I make episodes dedicated to helping the student-teacher relationship by hopefully building more understanding with each other. This episode, I have my American History Teacher, Mr. Mitchell! Personally, I think he is a good role model and teacher to students, and he shares some personal details about teaching and how hard it is to be a teacher in different environments. We talk about how he became a teacher, what struggles he has, and why some teachers do the things they do. I hope you all enjoy! - Ara xx
