South Side Perspective
Erik Braswell


About Me
Hey listeners, my name is Erik Braswell and I am a sophomore in Fenton High School. I've lived in Chicago for about three years now and I always heard about gangs, drugs, and violence in the South Side of Chicago. However, My parents grew up there and they even said that the South Side of Chicago was not that bad during their formative years. Wanting to find out the true story behind the South Side, I decided to discuss this topic. Likewise, being a black male, it would help me appreciate how grateful I really am to be in Wood Dale, to not grow up in this environment, and to be glad that I am alive today. It would likewise help me to embrace being black and where I really came from.

P.S. My voice sounds weird in this

Student Loans - Are They A Problem?

Image
My podcast, titled "Problems" discussed the topic of student loans. I focus on some of the positive aspects of them as well as the negative aspects.  It's important to keep both of these types of aspects in mind which is the message I'd like to get across here.  I think it's also important to acknowledge how student loans change peoples' views of college or universities.  It may instill fear, which I don't believe is the initial goal.  Schools obviously want people to apply to them, but if money becomes too big of an issue it may result in fewer applicants.  More of this is discussed in my podcast linked below.     MY PODCAST  A Little About Myself Hi! I'm Ola. I am 15 years old and I enjoy the typical things a fifteen-year-old enjoys.  I often hang out with friends and family, stress over school, and make fun of my sister.  Being 15 speaking about this topic, I think it'll open up a door to a diff...

Diabetes

By: Cynthia Ibarra Welcome to my blog! My name is Cynthia Ibarra and I'm a  sophomore at Fenton Highschool. My favorite things to do are play softball, watch sports, and listen to music.  Click here to listen to my podcast!  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gXQuxua52MRNZ7my8jZofgu4npEBhjeo/view?usp=sharing   Diabetes is something that has increased over the years. In the U.S, more than 30 million adults and children have diabetes.   This means that 1 in 10 adults over 20 years of age have it. There are four different types of diabetes that this podcast discusses. Going along with diabetes, I chose to interview my dad because he has type 2. The interview gives a peek at what he has to go through with medication and daily injections, along with the genetic side of it. I hope you enjoy my podcast!

The System is Flawed: Episode 1 - The Tea on Teen Pregnancy

Image
Teen Pregnancy in The United States (to get to Podcast, click the title!)  Over the past twenty years, teen pregnancy and birth rates in the United States have decreased drastically. The rates have gone down by nearly thirty-seven percent. Though this may seem like a huge stride, there is a bigger issue. In comparison to other highly developed countries, America has teen pregnancy rates that are as much as nine times higher than others. Many may ask how this unfortunate reality has become prevalent throughout the United States. This podcast will cover the underlying causes of teen pregnancy, as well as offer a critical perspective of the justice system, and the practices American society deems normal. My oldest brother, Jeremy, and my mother, Roma Souvannasy At eighteen years old, my mother became pregnant with my older brother Jeremy.
