There are hard work and commitment infused in everything that I commit to; school, friends, and even my dog, Chloe. In school, studying daily and requesting feedback are essential to receiving distinguished honors. Without someone to push the neighborhood to do activities together, it does not happen very often.

In the 1800's married women had to submit to their husbands. Woman who got married had no voice with law. This meant their husbands would have to take legal action for them. Wives did not have any rights to their own property, and they would not have right to wages they earn. But these started to change through feminist women who raised their voice against men. Even though the feminist movement started in the 1960's, there were women ahead of this time that were feminist too.

On Sunday, May10 2015, a concert was held in The Broad Stage. The concert was played by Santa Monica College Symphony Orchestra, whose conductor is Dr. James Martin.

Fortuna and Townsend evidently worked well together, they were always in sync and fed off of each others talent. As well it seemed as if Fortuna was using an aspect of call and response to enhance her production. Her call would be in the form of a story and she would then answer her call with her singing.

Instead, Wagner’s opera is revolved around the idea of the uncontrollable forces that attract one another and seal their fate. Isolde was the promised wife of King Mark. Despite all of the expectations that were held for her and the values that she was supposed to obtain, Wagner had Isolde choose her own fate: to enter a relationship not out of obligation, but based of what her heart desired, which left men and women either impressed by the fantastical performance, or baffled and disgusted, as seen by the statement written on the brink of the 20th century by composer and socialite Alma Mahler-- “only one opera exists in the whole world: my Tristan”-- versus the statement written by Clara Schumann 150 years
