So far I am not gaining much of the information like why did the doctor torture the patients, what does the dead patients want? Although while I was doing this research, my perspectives changed a lot. I used to get scared at nights, but I never truly believed in ghosts or spirits. I thought everybody just said that ghosts actually exist, but no one had any evidence to prove it. After researching about Poveglia, the haunted island. I learned that spirits existed because so many people died unhappily and a lot of wars took place their as well. So, probably all of those dead unhappy people became ghosts/ spirits. The island is out of bounds because whoever went there was either dead or mentally shocked. With all of that researching, I think there’s probably spirits living there.

                              The career that I chose is as a Fashion Designer. Fashion designers work on the design of items, clothing and fashion ranges. Some may focus completely on one specialist area, such as sport wear, children wear, footwear or accessories. You have to be very organized and up- to- date. Also you need confidence, individuality, creativity and be able to work with others. The main responsibilities for this job is that you have to research trends in fashion, produce detailed drawings of their ideas, calculate how much material is needed and have a creative eye for colors  For this job, some travel frequently and most work 9 to 10 hours a day, weekend work is common. Most fashion designers earn between $ 20.000 to $ 80,000 a year. Designers at the top of their profession can earn over $ 100,000 a year.  Most designers have a degree, diploma or certificate.

                                    I am interested in this career because I have always liked to try doing something new and fashionable, like, I always try to style my clothes in a unique and a fashion trendy way. Also I can use old clothing to try making something new out of it, which I like. I think I am suitable for this career because I am a creative thinker and good with colors as well, for the personality I am confident, individualistic but I could also work with others and I can be up- to- date with fashion trends.

                        What concerns me about this career is that there are some things that I wouldn't be able to handle like, quickly choosing right things at the right time, able to work in a short limited time, able to work in an unscheduled time and work all weekend for full time. I see myself not pursuing in this career because first you have to deal with a lot of stress and anxiety and still work with full focus. Second, working in the weekends and in the week with stress will not work for me because I am a family person so I like to spend most time with friends and family and also I am a spiritual person as well and I have to give myself the most time and work in a peaceful and a happy environment to gain success and live a happy life. 

 

                       So far my experience in genius hour has been pretty good. I am researching on an unknown island called poveglia. First I was kind of afraid to research about this island because it is said to be haunted and also has a violent history, but later on I found it interesting to find more about. I chose this area for genius hour because last year one of my friends told me about this and I found it really interesting to search about and I was wishing to know more about it later on. In this research I hope to gain some explanations about the island and why it is what it is known as today. First, when I wanted to research on this project I did not knew the name of the island, all I knew was that it was haunted, filled with bones and out of bounds. So I just tried putting different types of names like (haunted island, spooky island, Unknown Island) to look for the picture that my friend showed me of the island. When I finally found the picture that I was looking for, I researched on websites like (atlas obscura, Wikipedia) for information.

                       When I researched and found the information. I found out that the island Is haunted because there used to be a hospital where this mad doctor used to torture and kill it’s patients and also because there had been a lot of small wars happening there, so there’s probably a lot of people that died. On the other side the island is very beautiful and creatively architectured as well.
