Tech Tip: Canvas Profile

For my Canvas Profile, I decided to keep it simple, especially since it's my last semester here at the University of Oklahoma. At least that's the plan anyway. I chose a personal image that my friend took as my avatar image because he put a filter on there that places several mathematical equations and symbols over the image. Personally, I thought that was suiting for me since I was majoring in engineering. At this point in my collegiate career, I have invested so much time towards mathematics and science that it's often difficult to invest time in other aspects of life. My avatar image was taken right before finals week last year when my friend and I decided to go to the premiere of Avengers: Endgame. Now you may be wondering why we went to go see a movie right before finals week. Truthfully, we just could not keep on studying without a break, and it seemed like a promising option. It was a great movie and a great end to the semester. Other than that, my biography simply states that I am a senior in mechanical engineering.

Introduction to Jackie the Soon-to-be-Grad

Image
Here's a little about me! I'm a senior here at the University of Oklahoma majoring in mechanical engineering. The coolest about my major is that I get to learn more about the structural mechanics in everyday components that people tend to take for granted. The best class I took last semester was Design Thermal-Fluid Systems because it emphasized engineering theory with real-world applications and results. Over break, I went back home to a little undiscovered nook tucked away in southeastern Oklahoma. See the below photo taken in my very own backyard to envision the beauty of the natural landscape that Oklahoma has to offer. Jackie's Backyard - Personal Image In terms of career goals, I plan to work as an engineer in the automotive field in the near future. I have already accepted a full-time position at Michelin North America and have also already completed two internship rotations with them. My favorite part about working with them is that there is always something...

Week 15 Story: The Huntsman

Image
I spent my days wandering the woods, hunting for deer and boar. This was my livelihood, and with my rewards from my hunt, I provided for my lovely wife and young daughter. I dearly loved them both and did my best to care for them. One day, one of the king's messengers sent for me. I obliged to come forth, though I questioned why he would summon such a common huntsman as myself. I later learned that the queen had summoned me to do away with her step-child. She loathed the child greatly, for the child had grown to so beautiful that the queen's beauty paled in comparison. The queen bade me to lead her step-child, Snow-White, in the middle of the woods and take her heart out as a token of the treacherous deed. Now, I was reluctant at first, for I was unwilling to kill such a young and fair maiden. Still, the queen persisted, offering large amounts of gold and silver to me. Knowing that I should do well to support and care for my own family, I agreed to do her bidding. So, I l...

Microfiction: How a Hawk Gave a Feather to an Arrow

Image
Story 1 || 25 words: An Indian saved a young hawk, whose feathers provided flight. The arrow adorned with the feather of the hawk flies straight and meets its mark. Story 2 || 100 words: A baby hawk fell from his nest, too young and helpless to fly. The hawk would surely would have been eaten if it were not for a young Indian boy who found him. The young boy raised the hawk until he could fly, yet the hawk stayed with him. The young boy made arrows that could not steer straight and faltered in the breeze. The clever hawk drew his own feather and adorned it to the arrow, which now flew as straight as the hawk. The villagers gave a great shout, as now their arrows flew straight through the air. Red-Shouldered Hawk - Courtesy of eBird Author's Note: For this set of microfictions, I wanted to experiment with different levels of detail for my stories. I adopted a story that the Caddo people told of how a baby hawk was rescued by a little boy, and now gave his feather so th...
