Abusive Mothers

A fetus is a living being
So fragile and helpless 
Depending on their mothers to provide,
To nourish, and to protect them from danger


So why do mothers abuse these beings?
Why do they drink, smoke, and use drugs?
Do they not see what a beautiful being they are creating?
Don't they want to give their being a chance to have a flourishing life?


Mothers are loving, caring, and affectionate
Or are they?
Some mothers choose not to be
Some mothers are selfish and choose their wants over their fetuses needs


Drugs and alcohol are addicting
But should a mothers fetus be more important to her?
Not always


Death 
Aren't children supposed to out live their parents?
Not when the mother abuses substances

Banksy Project Review

The Banksy project is by far my favorite project I have done in college so far. It was so nice to see that everyone participated to get their voices heard. I think it's important for students to have a voice in their education system and this project helped students get their opinions out to improve the system. The only upset of the day was that the maintenance department would not leave the projects up longer for everyone to see, but thankfully they did not tear them down before the class got to view them. Everyone worked hard to make a statement, but my favorite project was the one with the student looking at UCLA with a ball and chain attached to his ankle representing how students dream of well known universities but are held back due to the cost. It was a perfect way to get his point across because the picture was bold and captured a lot of peoples attention. Becoming Banksy for the day was a wonderful experience. I'm glad to have been apart of this activity!
