Why I write: I wish for the best when it comes to my country, which is why I have a question. What do a fantasy book, chess, a Rubik’s cube, and math have in common? For me, it's a branch of my life to depict images, explore challenges, learn, and improve. That’s how I think when I write, and how I hope I can help others. Everything has technique, practice, and dedication, something I work my hardest for and writing is no different. I always plan to have anything I make be great, so in the future, I am able to say, “I dedicated my life to this, and hope to pass this on to others.” That is why I love to write.

Celebrating Bay Area Asian Cuisine
Being a chef in the Bay Area can be challenging. So much so to the point where anything could ruin the business. Adam Paul, the sous chef at Chotto Matte, claims, "First of all, you can't drive your guests away. People will want to have to come to your restaurant," which is challenging enough as the rich and diverse amounts of competition around you pressure you to get better and better quality food.

Growing up in America
Imagine this: the school bell rings and third period begins. “Alrighty class, open your textbooks to page 132, Laws of Sines and Cosine,” your teacher says in the most monotone of voices possible. Here comes another math lecture. Mrs. Frank will keep blabbering about a concept we learned 2 months ago.
Presidential Speech
Being president has many requirements, such as knowing what changes to make for our society. But what if I were president? Well, the three main changes I would advocate for would be the following: removing a majority of our students’ college debt, resolving the outrageous prices of healthcare, and improving the state of our nutrition to make our citizens healthier.
Native Americans vs Government
With so much tension between the indigenous and the government in the USA, such as 40% extra sales tax, murder, and unstable lifestyles, hate, riots, drama, and chaos begin to remove trust between the indigenous and the government. The cruel murder of Raymond Mattia from border patrol sparks lawsuit after lawsuit between two countries and a family.

AI in the Education System
Imagine this: the school bell rings and third period begins. “Alrighty class, open your textbooks to page 132, Laws of Sines and Cosine,” your teacher says in the most monotone of voices possible. Here comes another math lecture. Mrs. Frank will keep blabbering about a concept we learned 2 months ago. Why can’t we add variety to class by mixing teaching styles, or letting us decorate the classroom to help us remember concepts? You wonder. You zone out, and finally, the lunch bell rings.
Within 50 years, the implementation of different teaching styles, curricula, and testing methods would bring a lot more joy into a simple lecture. Alongside that, frequent breaks and more time between classes would support mental health. Many students would most likely appreciate these changes as the eight tedious hours of boring class with the assortment of modifications would surely help with time to do forgotten homework or to communicate about big upcoming projects. With these changes, we could all see a new way to visualize fun in learning and hopefully become more successful people.
For example, right now we’re learning about the Cold War. We copy notes that the teacher writes on the board, and everything seems to get very dull. But what if we changed that? AI holograms could bring a whole new type of education into our system. We could learn to program them, and in the next class, we could see them come to life. Now you're fighting an imaginary war with your friends, or “foes”. Who will win?!
“Nuclear destruction is eminent!” cries Hologram President Nixon. “Send spies now and gain more information on what we may be able to do to enhance our strategic military position!” Meanwhile, on the other side of the class is a region with flipped desks. At this bunker, imaginary Yuri Andropov, General Secretary of the USSR in 1983, screams at his men to score recon for the space race and to also scout out the situation with the nuclear warheads. This game scenario could provide more insight about wars while including a new sense of thrill in learning, which is undoubtedly something every student needs every once in a while.
Oh, and remember the boring lecture on Laws of Sines and Cosines? Well, the institution of school-provided VR headsets could use AI in ways that could let students mess along with the creation of graphs, creating patterns students are able to interact with and move along virtually. This way, pattern recognition and understanding could drastically increase. Not only that, but teachers can convert advanced topics into small five-minute video games that force students to deal with abstract problems in more practical real-life situations.
The use of AI and holograms could provide many new variations of learning to our education system in the next 50 years, such as programming a virtual way to learn and inspiring more productive classes.
