Giacomo Puccini, Madama Butterfly.


       This kind of opera is different from what was displayed played in the animated version of “Madama Butterfly”. It wasn’t as appealing to me, it was still enjoyable just not as much as I enjoyed the animated video. I feel like Opera is for older, more seasoned folks and I’m nowhere near that. If this was played or acted out in a theatre today, I think a lot of people would freak over it in a great way. They are awesome singers.

        The acting was a little tricky and different but that is expected because people have gotten a lot better at acting over time. There is an expected audience for everything, but I doubt I’m a part of that audience for now, unfortunately. Maybe when I am older it will be more appealing to me. I do find it incredibly amazing that people can sing like that and extend their voices to such great heights. I’m a singer myself so I know how unbelievably tough it is to even be able to get to half of that range.

Raul Cuero

       In the interview with Raul Cuero, he states multiple times that he was discriminated against and faced a lot of adversities in his life. At one point, he also stated that he felt like he had no value once he stepped off the basketball court. With all these things he went through and all these thoughts, he made the choice to overcome them and work 10x harder because he wanted to be important off the basketball court some day. He wanted to be celebrated and used all of what we may consider as "negative' to aim higher and work harder.        This interview with Raul Cuero speaks on topics that I believe are still prevalent today and may be relatable to some of today's youth. For instance, students who get recruited to D1 schools for various sports are only nurtured in those sports with little consideration given to their success in the classroom. While some schools do a great job with balancing them out, several universities focus more on sports which in turn leave t

Exceptional grid art

This is my grid art, it is a rose and I specifically picked a rose because my name is Blossom. I actually thought this was fun and interesting, I have never done anything like this and I enjoyed it. Even though it seemed a little confusing at first when I started it, I got the hang of it. I look forward to creating more art in the future!

Introduction

      Hi! I'm Blossom Madubike, I'm a freshman enrolled here at UT and I'm studying Biology with a concentration in Pre-Dentistry. I've been interested in the medical field for as long as I can remember and I chose the field of dentistry particularly because Dentists have an immediate impact on their patients and I personally have had the first-hand experience on that because I had issues with my teeth from a young age. Most people are so scared of going to a dentist's office but I love it because whenever I'm there they take care of whatever problem I come in with immediately. I have interned for an oral surgeon for the past two summers and its augmented my interest in the field so much further. I have seen the impact she has on her patients and the relationships she has built with her patients both in and  out of the office.        So a little bit more about myself; my parents are diplomats so we've been privileged enough to travel the world!
