 One song I’m listening to a lot lately is "Stuck with U" by Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber. This song is a pop ballad, and I think it’s a beautiful mix of their voices. I first heard it during the pandemic, which was the perfect time for a song like this because it’s all about being with someone special even when life gets challenging.

Besides that, "Stuck with U" reminds me of a time when everything slowed down, and it’s nice to have that memory.

The professor takes the time to explain everything step by step, which makes learning much easier. I’ve gained a lot from this class, and I feel more confident when working with design software.

He was my homeroom teacher in first year of high school and also taught us project design. For me, he was the best teacher I ever had. It wasn’t just because of how well he taught, but because he genuinely cared about every one of us. What made Mr. Juan Francisco special was his dedication. He was always there to help, support, and motivate us to improve, not only as students but as people. I learned so much from him, both in class and in life. He explained things clearly, but what stood out the most was his ability to understand and connect with us. In class, we called him "profe pollo" because he reminded us of the chicken character from Toy Story . It was a funny nickname that brought joy to the classroom and made our time with him even more memorable. I really hope I get to see him again someday. He’s the kind of teacher who makes a lasting impact, and I feel
