Hoto Tajima - “Howl’s Moving Castle” (session 8) I have played piano as a hobby since I was young. I played piano for 5 years from 5 years old to 10 years old. I am playing piano as a hobby right now but I am still trying to learn new songs. I like Ghibli movies a lot and I really like to watch them while I am free. The one I particularly like is Howl’s Moving Castle. Music in Ghibli movies is produced by Joe Hisaishi. He is one of the most famous musicians in Japan and he made a lot of “classic”music. “Merry Go Round of Life” is one of the best pieces of music I’ve ever heard and I dreamed of playing this song in future for a long time. I’ve been practicing since I came here and I finally can play that song. Helena Talbot - “The Eyes that Loved Me” (session 17) This creative nonfiction piece is about seeing love through the different eyes of people from significant relationships that I have been in. I wrote this piece for my Advanced Creative Writing class and workshopped it this semester.

Ana Paula Torresbaca - “Internationals and Insurance in America” (session chair) Healthcare has now become one of the main problems faced in the United States, due to today’s social and economic environment. One way or another, rising health and medical insurance costs affect the livelihood of not just all Americans but also the international populations in America. The video project has the goal to make our audience realize how students, specifically internationals, can struggle and fear, either of having or not having insurance. This represents the very few benefits they get as a result of not having citizenship. Analyzing students and their facial expressions while talking about their testimonials provides us with insight into the emotional toll that struggling with insurance can cause. Shu’Ron Thompson - “Just Keep Swimming” (session 10) Imagine learning how to swim. No experience, you’re scared of water, and really don’t know how things are going to go. You stick with it and eventually get the hang of it; you quickly realize you love to swim and are glad you didn’t give up. This is a metaphor for my college career
