Sustainable sneaker

As I've been thinking and researching about a sneaker design I want, I found many sustainable materials to use for the shoe I will be creating.
This is a Nike shoe that released in June of 2018. It resells for triple the amount it costs when it first released. The design of this shoe is called Nike react element 87. I picked this design to recreate into a sustainable sneaker because I think it's very cool and the upper see-through part of it adds something special to the sneaker. Even though the design looks simple, it's a super complex and unique design. 
The sneaker above is an example of how I would want mine to be shaped but using sustainable materials. The materials I want to create my sneakers with are recycled tire, a plant-based material, cork, Koba plant fiber, and vegan leather. The soles of the shoe would be a plant-based material but if I can't do that then they would be a recycled tire. In the soles, I would love to have air bubbles in the soles to make the shoes more comfortable. Next, the upper part of my shoe will be cork to give the sneaker a cool look and its a strong material that is reusable. Then, I want vegan leather to support the shoe so that it can be more sturdy. Finally, I will be using Koba plant fiber for the laces. This fiber comes from a Koba plant which is a strong material to use for laces.

Surviving Failure

For my class Endurance, We study the skill of endurance. We started with reading the book Night and digging deep. We did three great Projects this term all leading up to each other. For the final project for the year, we created our Survival Guide takes you through what the future holds for us. For me it a life of failing and getting back up. I have failed and hope to fail more to get where I want to in life. I have nothing else but to succeed and I will do just that. My teacher SH taught me so much this year that I will remember for the rest of my life. Even though I am not the best student I don't let it hold me back from other opportunities God gives me. SH showed me who I can be and about the world. I hope SH keeps helping young students reach their full potential in school and not in school. I want to thank SH for helping me, graduate. I hope you enjoy my final Action Project of the year. Thank you. Surviving Failure by PA GCE Lab School.PA.2021

Curing Migranes

In my class called Cure, this term we learned a lot  about different types of medications and drugs that treat and cure illnesses and diseases. For this Action Project, we had to pick a symptom  of illnesses and diseases and find three different types of treatments. We had to pick a prescription  drug, an over the counter drug and treatment that isn't  a pill type medicine. For my project, I chose migranes  because my mom gets them often and thought she could help me and to see what she takes to get treated. The reason I picked the pictures of the molecular structure and the human head is because that represents the lock and key mechanism. The lock and key mechanism show how medicaments work on their molecular structure. If the molecular structure fits good with the medicament then it works better than ones that don't. It called lock and key because some keys fit in locks and some don't just like different medicaments. Cefaly does not have a molecular struc...

Hello. My name is PA. For my class called Rhetoric we learned a lot. In this class we learned a lot about American history and how America was founded. We also went on many Feild Experiences, but one that stood with me was someone that ran for mayor coming in and talking to us. I found his story very interesting and took a lot away from it. He talked a lot about many different issues in todays world. For our Action Project we had to create an art peice that is about a issue thats happening today. I created a pinata house to represent Mexicans that come to Chicago illegallly but are salf untill ice comes.
