It's the year 2008, Phineas and Ferb just released last year and the anticipated Suite Life of Zack and Cody sequel show is to premier in September. To capitalize on the novel hype of the show about step brothers and their antics, and nostalgia associated with the beloved twins and their mayhem, Disney premiers a two episode crossover where the Martins and Co. are transported into Danville and meet the Flynn-Fletchers. Ep. 1 "Twin Convention" We begin when Phineas and his crew discover a Twin Convention and create a machine to attend with clones. At the convention Zack and Cody are introduced cartoon style, and In a montage we see the friends, their clones, and all of the twins competing in games. Meanwhile, Perry the Platypus arrives at Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. to prematurely foil the Dr.'s plans, he is surprised to find Heinz struggling with an -inator. In a monologue, Doofenshmirtz reveals that his Superior Twin-inator would assess the performance of each twin in the games and identify the "superior twin" in intellect. Having been seen as inferior to his brother Roger physically, but superior mentally, Heinz wants to separate the twins to form an army of angry overlooked siblings to take over the Tri-State area. Doof exclaims that he's fixed the machine, when a knock on the door reveals Arwin, who recently found a job in maintenance after leaving the Tipton and is excited to see the -inator. Arwin's accidental interference leads to chaos among twins. The evil "superior twins" use Phineas and Ferb's machine to create a bigger army. Candace clones herself but grows attached to her clone, enjoying sisterly activities while avoiding her mom at the mall. Linda finds Carey Martin covering one of her songs in the Mall. The episode concludes with Phineas and Ferb's machine exploding due to overload, destroying the clones and the Superior Twin-inator being destroyed by Arwin, reverting the twins to their original personalities. Ep. 2 "Bed and Breakfast" The Flynn-Fletchers are hosting Isabella, as her mom is away visiting family. With their parents out for the day, the boys decide to turn the top floor of their house into a hotel and employ Zack and Cody to help them build. Now 30 stories high, they quickly realize they need some order and bring Mosbey in as hotel manager to organize the many guests and he quickly takes Buford under his wing. They together demand order. We see the iconic luggage cart ride accompanied by a funky upbeat musical number as the group runs from Mosbey and Buford through the hotel, both annoying and entertaining the guests. Meanwhile in the B-plot, London is staying at the bed and breakfast, but mistakenly takes over Candace's room and somehow gets Candace to wait on her hand an foot through bribery, distracting Candace from busting her brothers. London is sure she knows Candace from somewhere but can't put her finger on it. They bond over London helping Candace get ready for a "date" with Jeremy. Muriel the maid, Norman the doorman, and other guests make appearances in montages through the "hotel". At the conclusion of the episode, a random -inator malfunctions, resulting in a chaotic end to the bed and breakfast. Linda returns to the kids "playing" hotel in their room and Mrs. Garcia-Shapiro, has brought her long lost cousin, Esteban Julio Ricardo Montoya de la Rosa Ramirez GARCIA. We get a longwinded explanation of how the two are related.

Growing up between urban and suburban communities, I have grown passionate about the conditions of underserved neighborhoods of black and brown people in the city of Chicago. Separated only by 15 minutes, my home and school life in the suburb of Westchester was greatly contrasted by my family and church life on the west side of Chicago. As you cross a street like Austin Blvd, this difference is made clear as day, and my weeks were split, going back and forth across this line of demarcation, experiencing two ways of life. The car-dependent, quiet, and disconnected nature of the suburbs presents a unique set of problems, while the chaos of the city, with its density and rich history, have its own and I am interested in exploring unique spatial solutions to these problems, while simultaneously attacking social issues, like those related to the lack of accessible third places because of increased commercialization. The opportunities for architecture to be an outlet for change in a city like Chicago are endless, and with the design skills that I have, and will continue to nurture, I want to be a catalyst for those improvements as they will have direct effects on families like my own. I have a background in robotics, spending most of my high school career on my school's robotics team where I lead in exercises of finding solutions to a set of problems, and upon entering the undergraduate Architecture Program at U of I, my goal was to be able to do the same with building design. Through my studio projects, I took all the opportunities I could to serve users like women of color, and underrepresented youth, something I have seen both my parents do all of my life, owning third places of their own on Chicago’s west side. I have seen my parents use buildings and space as a way to serve North Lawndale and be leaders in the community. My fathers mixed use building has served as a barber shop, apartment building, church, food bank, clothing donation center and more, and through design, I want to create more opportunities for minority and women owned spaces such as these. I have gotten so much experience in my undergrad with leadership being on the Executive Board for the National Organization of Minority Architecture Students and acting as a student leader in many capacities for the school and I feel prepared to continue to be a leader on a more advanced level. I want to enter a graduate program to put myself in a position to influence change. Black women makeup less than 1 percent of the licensed architects in America and I would like to be a part of that change, not only in becoming licensed myself but being an example to others, showing young black women what they can achieve. This scholarship would help me to pursue a Masters in Architecture, one more step toward becoming licensed and a step forward in my education, allowing me to expand my knowledge in the field, and better understand how to aid the communities I am so passionate about through Architecture and Urban Design. With this scholarship, my time can be spent focused on my schooling versus working and reduce the loans I would need to take out for this pursuit of higher education.
