Our Trip to Rockridge

My esperince in Rockridge was kind of diferent. Some of the things that were diferent were that in my point of view people were really friendly. Something that really shocked me was that while being there we asked a person who was cleaning his back yard if we could interview him and he actually walked out of his house to gather with us and get interviewed.When we asked people in other places like Walnut Creek they would say they were really busy our did not wanted to get interviwed. RockRidge was preaty friendy. Aside of all there enviroment was pretty clean an well taken care and it was kind of amazing how its still Oakland but look very diferent than east Oakland. Something that I liked abought Rockridge that we do not have in Fruitvale would be how its really quiet and there arent really no fast food restaurants around there. So that must mean that the most of the people dont relay upon fast food a lot. Which is prety good. Since in East Oakland the most common food we could find is fast food.

A Special Friend!!! :)

There is this gurl I have known for a really long time. Me and her have been trought thick and thin and yes we have had our fights once in a while. I would say that is what have maide us value our friendship more. Like any other teenage girls we have had been trough bad esperiences in life but even trough all our obsticles we have learned to keep on going. She is the type of friend that would laugh with you at things that no one laughs at. I really enjoy having her as a friend because she would be able to put me up when I am most faling. I wont see me life withought knowing that I could count on her an know she would be there.

My Visit to Chinatown

At our trip to China Town we got a chance to look at what the similarities between China Town and Fruitvale. Before we were there I though that China Town was going to be a really hard place to get interviews because since most of the people there might not be familiar with the language we speak. Once we were there my perspectives of china town did not change, china is a place were there are a lot of people who do not speak eighter English or Spanish and that was a big challenge Because we couldn’t find a way to communicate with them. The only difference that I saw there that we did not see in Fruitvale is that in China Town there were hardly any Mexican food restaurants.

Our Vist To Fruitvale

Today in our walk to Fruitvale Village. Was kind of the same than what we experienced in Walnut Creek. Some of the things that were similar were that the people dint wanted to get interviewed. It’s weird because while being at Walnut Creek we thought that they were being racist by not letting us get interviewed. But when we were in Oakland we also got the same type of rejections. Some of the things that were different were that since my group had more practice we changed the way we approved the people and asked them questions. This time as an interviewer I was having a conversation with the people that I think helped us get stronger interviews. In general my perspective of Fruitvale was that its way different than Walnut Creek. Their aesthetics were very different.

Welcome!

Hey, Olivia! Welcome to the blogging world! : )

HEYYYYY...

Hello Everyone.... My name is Olivia and I am a junior in a high school located in East Oakland. I enjoy shopping spending time with my home girls. I am a really friendly person to everyone that’s friendly to me. Umm something that I don’t really like is “silence”. I am the type of girl that would come up with any random think too loud out the place. Even when everything is going all bad for me everyone would see me laughing. As a teenager in an everyday life I have been going through a lot of struggles but I am clad as the days going by I am learning to overcome them. Just like any teenagers around the world there are many that have not had an easy life. But for whatever reason they have overcome it. I am planning to go to college.
