During this project, each student chose a subject about the border region that interested them but from the beginning, I knew I wanted todo something that was different and personal to me. After a lot of thinking, I decided to research punk rock and activism in music because that is what I am passionate about. I chose to focus most of my research on punk rock because a lot of the big bands in that scene have very political views and aren't afraid to talk about them. One of those bands is green day and I did a lot of my research on them. You can read about every thing I learned and talked about in my paper linked down below.
Another thing we did during this project was talk with other students our age in Tijuana every week about our life's and our topics. It was really cool to meet and talk to them and talk about the differences between our country's. At the end of the semester, they actually came up to San Diego for the day and we all hung out all day. It was super cool to meet them in real life and most of us are trying to meet up still out side of school!
