Cleaning My Car - Activity - LO4

    Living in the middle of a major city is never the cleanest place to be, but since it's where I live, I want to at least keep my favorite possessions in check with their cleanliness. My favorite possession is easily my car, and what's a better way to care for your vehicle than keeping it clean? After school, since my work was completed, and I had plenty of free time, I got to work.

-After about an hour, my car looked like this!

-I essentially used the "Do It Yourself" car wash process by rinsing, washing, rinsing, and waxing.



To conclude, I was completely committed to making my vehicle the shiniest on the street, and since I persevered through this commitment, I now have exactly what I wanted.

CAS Blog - Venus flytrap for my house - Service - LO2

John Mazziotti Dr. Lee CAS December 7th, 2020 Venus flytrap for my house - Service - LO2     Since I live in a rather damp climate in the southern US, there tends to be a medium to a large number of insects present at any given time. Now I have always thought that Venus flytraps were interesting, but I had never considered attaining one until recently. So to help my household with any uninvited guests, I finally got one. I also get to care for another member of our household, and it's not only a plant that is helpful with ridding pests, but it's also a responsibility. -This is a picture of the flytrap. -Additionally, nobody in my house is happy with any pests in the house, so getting this fly trap does a service for my family! To conclude, I have learned the basic and continuous needs and the responsibility that come with owning this type of plant. Additionally, these implications also happen to be the challenges! Finally, Not only has my knowledge on this new household additi...

John Mazziotti Dr. Lee CAS January 25th, 2021 CAS Blog - Oil Painting - Creativity - LO1     On January 25th, I decided to try out oil painting for the first time! For all of my life, I have always seen my father produce many oil paintings, but I had never created any entirely on my own. Luckily, my father gifted them to me over Christmas 2020, and I was able to channel my creative energy into something completely new. -In this picture, I am just learning how to mix oil paints, add additional oil for lighter colors, and what brushes to use.  -The painting I am working on is actually based off of a picture that I took on the beach. The picture I used is also very similar to other posts that I have made. Overall, I found a new medium in visual art to help grow my capabilities in this field. Not only did I have a great time painting, but I also now know greater knowledge about oil paints and other strategies found in this activity.

CAS Blog - February 2021 - Winter Storm Freeze and Helping Neighbors - Service - LO6

John Mazziotti Dr. Lee CAS February 15th, 2021 Winter Storm Freeze and Helping my Neighbors On February 15th, 2021, an unusual and very strong winter storm hit Texas. The most affected areas (in terms of damage) were near the coast, and a majority of the residential buildings here in Galveston, TX  are not at all built for extreme freezing weather. Personally, my family and I had no power for 5 days, and no water for four days. Through this, I found two global issues that were very prominent during this time; access to electricity, and access to water. Fortunately, my family had stocked up on water, had non-perishable food, and a generator. So although my family did have some very limited access to both resources, there was still a lack of both. However, while my family was getting by in this situation, my neighbors across the street did not have any water to drink. Luckily, my family and I had an unopened five-gallon jug of purified water, and we decided to give it to them. They w...
