Practicum Project

"Sixth College's Practicum is a mandatory upper-division requirement that engages students in the creative process. To graduate from Sixth College, you must initiate, plan, and execute a Practicum project that connects your classroom-based experiences and knowledge to the outlying community, while at the same time exploring the interplay of culture, art, and technology" (University of California, San Diego, Sixth College).

Fake or Real?

I suppose there are people who would always bully another person for whatever reason there is.

Today my character read a journal of one of her online friends who suffers from bullying at school and I can relate to what she is going through. In my own life I have experienced physical and emotional abuse from people in different countries I have lived in. Mostly because of my race and the way I was brought up to think.

She mentioned about how she wanted to commit suicide at times, but she is still alive.

It is a bit stressful to read such a thing that may be true. There are so many people with stories to tell, which has the ability to move me. Then I start to feel guilty about my project for not telling the truth.

But, what is actually real and what is not in a virtual space?

All I can do for this girl is to provide strength through utilizing my character's virtual body and typing out the thoughts in text. A way of giving back to the person who is participating in my project by following this ancient folklore whether they are fake or not.
