bridge program

Were here in bridge program to improve on our english and math. But do you think it's necesary if you want to major in dance or photography? and why do you think so? If you don't pass the bridge program and you can't be accepted, what are your alternatives? Just wondering. If I don't make it, I think i would go for nurses aid. All my family are nurses and I think it will benefit me more financially. Just wondering why aren't we accepted and what makes them better?

what art movement is your lineage and affection to

This is one of the founders of the fluxus movement, a movement I feel a lot of affiliation towards. I know that a lot of my work is rooted in this kind of work.

What movement(s) do you feel affiliated with and what have you gathered from their work?
Have you ever felt like a prisoner in your own home?I knew two girls who's parents were soooo over pretective!They stayed in the house all day, and had to sneek out when there parents not around.But now that there both 18, one plans to go to a college far away, and the other plans to move to the southside with some guy.Did your parents ever over crowd you so much you just couldnt wate to grow up and leave? or are they like my parents somewhat over protective , yet still let me make my own mistacts.

Foot Binding

During The EArly 20th Century the wealthy chinese Women would bind their feet to look pretty. They Start binding their feet at age 4. Some Dies from the pain. If It Hurts and they can't sleep their mom would sit on their feet so it won't hurt so much. Their toe would fold to the bottom of their foot until the bone would break. Womens that has flat feet means their poor and work in the farm or work for the wealthy women that has bind feet.

From My Big Sister I Heard my grandma could have bind her feet but she didn't because she want to help out in the farm.
If We still have foot binding today for the girls to look pretty would you do it?
