Hello Juniors!

The first story that we'll do this semester is "Seeing Through Walls" a video written and directed by Carlos Avila, part of a series called Fotonovelas.

It's about a jailed felon who undergoes an experimental operation which implants all sorts of new knowledge in his head. Once he begins to access this knowledge, a whole new world opens up to him (even though he's locked in a prison cell). Things that he hardly even saw before suddenly fascinate him.

That's the key message that I want to get across. "The more you learn, the more you know; and the more you know, the more you will learn." Learn as much as you can -- during the rest of this semester, and next year, and for the rest of your life. (Knowledge is good.)

Unfortunately for Gabriel, the chip has to be removed from his head, and he loses most of his new-found knowledge. BUt as another character tells him: "All that knowledge in your head. It's all out there."
