I cannot believe it; I am officially done with my research project and my multimodal three. Through this process, I have learned a lot the results I received from my interviewees were incredible just the answers I expected to receive. In addition, I did not know I could write so many pages and words. Defiantly, I have grown as a writer and I am very proud to say this because thanks to this project and the negative situation I when through before researching discrimination. I could say that thanks to the person who discriminated me for my writing I could today thank him for giving me more self-confident and making me grow as a writer. Through this project, I express my thought on discrimination and examine each article, interview, survey and observation I made to complete this research project. I hope that this project will someday get to the hands of someone that will like to make a difference in our school system in order to ban discrimination. Is very sad to tell my readers that discrimination does exist in today is school system and that many students are becoming affected by this situation. Now at days not only Blacks are discriminated also Latinos and Blacks and it has gotten to the point that not only are thy discriminated by their ethnicity or race they are also discriminated against the economy, religion, education and sexual preference. I plan to expand this research on discrimination in the future not only on ethnicity and race, but also on religion, individual economic class, students sexual preferences and all discriminations, which exists in today’s school and society.
Tomorrow, I plan to complete my poster board presentation.

In Progress and Almost Done
I have come to the phase that am almost done with my research project and presentation. Also, my multimodal two and three. Am really excited with the work that I have completed and the work that I have created for my multimodal three. I created two videos that show discrimination performed my a professor to a student. The first video shows and takes place in the professor’s office. Also, it shows how the professor judges the student for having grammatical mistake on her research paper. This made the student fell doubtful of her school and herself because the professor confirmed her that she should consider dropping her major. The next video took place at the same professor’s classroom. Here he discriminated Latinos and told that class that not everyone is college material so they should consider dropping the class after seeing their paper results. Both of these scenarios are very hurtful for those who were discriminated by the professor. Nonetheless, too many was just a growth of confidence in their inner self and school wise. This week I will post my conclusions and thoughts of my research project, which I have created and examine through the semester.

Creations
So much have been created this week, I have completed my survey, part of my interview and observations. My two surveys were completed by twenty seven respondents. I got very accurate information and got the responses which I expected. So far I have interviewed 2 Latinos, 1 black and 2 Whites am missing the professor and 1 black female. Nonetheless, have observed around school the communication professors have with students in the hall ways. Some professors tend to like other students and ignore others.
This week I also completed my multimodal one, which I created a word cloud. My multimodal two is almost completed. For my multimodal two am creating a brochure that will help students avoid discrimination and help them understand the two types of discrimination that exist in today’s school system. Last but not least for my multimodal three am creating a YouTube video, which will contain discrimination. Two girls will act in this video one will act as a professor and the other one as a student getting discriminated by the professor, which is judging her by her background.
This week, I plan to complete my research project and start with my presentation. Hence to this, I have a lot of writing to organize.

Progress
This week I have catch up with my work so far, I have sent out the interview e-mails and I start interviwing this coming Monday. Also, I already completed my survey and am getting to more people to answer the survey questions for I could expand more my knowlege on the issue that I will like to prove to the community one day. Most of the people that have taken the survey have been discriminated therefore this will help me have more knowlege and know how those students felt after being discriminated. In addtion, most of the people surveyed have answered that is a form of racism than ethinicity. This could conclude that even now in the 21st century students are being discriminated by students and by professors. To be continue.......
