This is the summary of a testimonial from Edith Coliver and it was filmed on August 26, 1999 in San Francisco. Edith Coliver was born on July 26, 1922 where she lived in Korlsruhe, Germany with her family. She had been in an upscale gang where she would climb houses, trees and various other things. She came to New York in 1938, then she moved to San Francisco on Halloween with her Family. She describes the holocaust, “It was very un-american in the sense that you were guilty until proven innocent.” She talks about how life had changed in the Jewish community in 1937. She mentions, “every Saturday we used to have classes in racial sciences.” After the war she said she couldn't relate to anyone her age because she didn't know what they had been up to from 1933-1945. Edith attended Berkeley and was a part of the international house, where she felt at home. She studied political sciences and was in the pie beta kappa fraternity. That experience had a huge impact on her life, she wanted to help people and she gave the advice, “find something to get involved and stay involved.”

wow im kinda nervous about midterms but i know it will be alright. my lowest grade to this point is a 91 percent. as long as i can keep that one above a B it will be alright. Also im so sore went to the gym this morning and it was definatly a long time since i have challenged my body. but it gave me some extra time to study while i was excersising and listenig to music. I like it its a good form of multitasking. I'm so out of shape, I have been relatively in shape for awhile now then i got my first car last year and that changed everything instead of walking or riding my bike now i would pay gas money to drive. losing my vehicle has made me realize just how lazy i have become in a year. its good i guess because now i'm forced to get my 30-60min of excersise a day to say the least. i just have to come to a point where i enjoy it like i used to, but then again it could be the fact that it is now the coldest point that it has been all year so far. and its not that i mind its just kinda annoying to see how much i have slacked off and became so outta shape. but on the flip side i have changed my diet and i have been losing weight since that has happened plus i seem to have more energy. high in fiber. trying new vegtables.

Time is an interesting subject. the study of time has been around for hundreds even thousands of years, from the acient civilizations relying on the stars to know what season was best to plant their crops to dividing time into 12 incriments to measure the day. some to the moste interesting time pieces i have found are the ones of acient history. with the use of sundials and oblisks noted in egyptian history to the use of measuring time with water by the greeks. fascinating. there has always been an innovative spirit in clockmaking throughout history. but one of the discoveries that has shocked me the most was of a french clockmaker who was asked to make a clock work inside a cathederal but instead he remade the entire clock but kept the skelton. this clock is a precise masterpiece of time it can tell you the day in which easter is on every year until the year 10000 and it even as been so carefully calcuated to know the exact secquence of a leap year. not only that in simple terms that a leap year is a year that is divisible by four but that unless it is a 100 year that is an odd number unless its a 400 base year. this clock can predict the lunar time, the average space time and even what zodiac eara we are entering on the 100000 year cycle. this timepiece has been so carefully crafted that there are pieces that will only move every century or even every 2500 years. wow mind blowing. considering that no measure of time has been around so long. not even with the egyptinas and the oblesks. but will we still be using clocks if humanity survives that long. since timekeeping has been modernized to atomical measures. witth the definiton of a second as defined by the way light moves in a certian atom. facinating

sometimes i hate mornings. i couldn't sleep at all last night, it might have something to do with nerves and today is my first test of my collage carreer. Nervous. but thank god for the good ol cup of coffee, the morning joe. I hope i do well on the test. I'm as equally nervous to see how i did on my first paper assigned in here. hope i did well. I'm a little bummed out, was trying to get feedback on my descriptive essay because i had questions about my metaphors if they would be acceptable since i used them in context. The writting center said it would be alright but i never got to ask. oh well i guess ill find out sooner or later. man i feel like a slow typer i hear everyone else going a million words a minute and im not. I don't even know what to free write about but i guess it doesnt matter. just type. dont stop. thats the point. so im typing. typing....i forgot what site we are supposed to use for twitter. i am so nervous about this test.... im generally a good test taker but its still intimidating first test in one of the classes that actually matter for the program i want to go to...A and P, 1 2, and nutrition... I have to have excellent grades in those classes above all. I mean i want a good transcript but those are the ones that are looked at for consideration... ... ...

Synopsis
“Graduation”
This story by Maya Angelou is the story of her 8th grade graduation and how a member of the white community gave a speech at the beginning of it and brought down the excitement that was in the air. She starts by describing the excitement of soon to be graduates from all grades, and continues on describing her own excitement. Then she tells about the speech that the guest speaker had made and how it gave her the feeling that her fate had already been decided because she was an African American. Following that speech one of the valedictorian members of her class also presented a speech that had touched her soul, one that made her realize a new perspective on a familiar song to her. It made her not only proud to be graduating but also proud to be an African American.
