Culture Defined By Art

In this reflection, please explain your choices of images, music, and poetry and how they describe who you are. How do your choices "paint a picture" of you-the background that you bring to our classroom and the role that your culture plays in defining who you are? What is your culture? What did you find out about yourself? What are your educational goals for the future? How did technology help in your personal exploration?

You have 5 questions to answer about this assignment. Please take your time and watch your spelling. Be honest. I value your input and ideas.

My culture painted a picture of me by showing my friends and classmates who I am. My culture would be Christanity, Baptist, Welsh, and English. I found that I have more confidence for myself then I had. I used to hide everything but now I have shown everyone about me and still will. My future educational goal is to attend Auburn University and major in American history and minor in english. I hope to be an American history teacher. Technology has helped my personal exploration by helping me find poems, song lyrics, pictures, and expressing my culture through powerpoint. I enjoyed this project and hope to do one similar to this one in the future!

I chose my images, music, and poetry because they express how I am. My images were pictures of my friends, things I enjoy doing, and my beliefs. My music was christian music because I am a christian. Christian music always makes me feel good inside. The poem I chose was all about friendship because my friends are real important to me. My choices show that I am christain, I love Alabama, and my family and friends are real important. It told the classroom what I am like. My culture is church, family, friends, music, and God. I found out that I am blessed to have a good life with God, family, and friends. When I grow up I want to go to The University of Alabama and become a teacher.Tecnology helped me by finding a poem that expressed who I am and finding pictures that describe me.

My choices of my images, music, and poetry show you that I like to listen to loud music, my pictures show you that I like to watch my brother play Baseball, and my poetry tells you a little about who I am. My culture mainly revolves around two thing, my family, and my relationship with God. I found out that I am very different from evryone in my class and that at the same time I'm like most of them. For example almost everybody here shares the same religion, we are Chistians. I hope that I do well in school, and even though I would like to make all A's I would be fine with A's, B's, and a couple of C's. Technology helped in three major ways. One thing it did was let me atcually do this project, because this project was a powerpoint. The second way it helped was by allowing me to get pictures that I needed off of the internet. The third and final thing that it helped me with was letting me take pictures with my digtal camera, and allowing me to put them on the computer.

The choices I made show that I like to relax, goof off, and to listen to music. My culture is I go to school every week day, go to church (catholic) on Sundays, and the rest of the time includes sleeping, eating, relaxing and having fun with my siblings. I never realized that playing would be a part of my culture. My goals for the future are to go to West Point to get a degree on Weapon mechanics. Before I get to college, though, I need to make good grades so I can get to the college I want, West Point. It helped by taking digital pictures of things I like to do, searching for the music I like to listen to on the internet, and making my powerpoint for the project helped show my culture to others.

These pictures I've chosen represents me because this is how I live and adapt to my life. My culture is simply going to church and worshipping God. I found out that my culture is not like others in ways. I found out there is alot of differences in me and how other people chooses the way they live their culture. My goals for the future so far, is trying to be a major league baseball player. This is my favorite sport, and I feel that I must follow my dream. Technology helped me tremendously on finding out all my favorite things to do. It also helped find the things I needed quicker than anything else that I have used.

My assignment showed that I love spending time with my freinds, and listening to rap and alternative music. It showed that I'm a babtist christian. My choices tell that I love to sleep and eat. I like joking around with my freinds, making up random songs, and competing to see who can come up with the most random word or punchline yet. In the future, I plan on studying to be an aeronautics architect. This assignment helped me to learn more about my self and my culture. I learned that You do not always know as much about yourself as you might think.

While doing the culture defined by art project, I believe that My images, poetry and music paint a picture of my life because I covered all sides of myself. I covered who I am at school, at home, who I am when I'm with my extended family, and all the things that are important to me. My culture, I believe plays a big part in who I am because I was brought up in a Italian home, which christianity is a major part of the Italian religion. Due to this I have always been at church and this way I've met so many people that have impacted me and helped make me who I am today. Culture is basicly how your parents raised you and what you believe in that together make you who you are. My culture in a nut shell is Christainty, Italian, Family, and something my parents have aways taught us is never be afraid to be who you are, and never let anything stand on the way of who you want to be. When i tcomes to my educational goals I plan to take all honors through high school, and go to college where I'm not really sure but I do want to become a forensic scientist.The technology helped me by making my power point easy to develope.

My choices of images, music, and poetry decribe who I am because it shows what I like to listen to, what I'm feeling, and who I am as a person. By putting a Christian song for my music, I show that i believe in God, and I enjoy listening to songs that talk ( or sing ) about something I truely and strongly believe in. My choices " paint a picture" because they let you know what kind of person I am. It tells you that I care more about the important things in life than what someone else was wearing that day, or what I'm going to be doing on that night. My culture defines who I am because the way that I present myself, or the ways that I stand out in a crowd. The way that I present myself shows who I am because if I stand tall and proud that shows people that I believe in myself and that i don't care what other people think out me. I believe that if you can stand out in a corwd of many than that shows that you have something special and that something about you made you different. I think that what makes you different is not how pretty you are or how much money you have in your pocket, but the little things that make you different. Such as being the person to stop and pick up someone's books for them or that great personality you have and can share with everyone else. My culture is not much different than anyone else's, I am a huge Christian, I love to play softball, I love Alabama Football, and I enjoy singing. I found a lot about myself. I found out that I am very strong and that I don't need anyone else to make me happy. As long as I have God on my side than everything else will just fall into place. My educational goals are to go to college, I don;t know where yet, and then to get a good job that I enjoy.

I think the music to my project represented my Latin heritage. I didn't really find a poem that described me, so I chose one about ducks. The images represent my favorite things, people, and hobbies. My culture is very unusual, my family stresses education and values while I am always outgoing with friends, I have creative hobbies such as knitting and drawing/painting. I wasn't surprised with my project at the end, because I've figured out who I am, and I'm proud of everything I am. My educational goals for the future are to go to college, hopefully something like my brother's college, Swarthmore in Philadelphia. I don't want to limit myself to just one career, I want to do something with science, social studies, reading, and creativity, which are my favorite subjects, and hopefully one day change the world. I was already sure of who I was, but the technology really helped me put it all together to make an interactive presentation of who I am.

My images explain me like the nebulas that look like an eye of god who is watching me. The music I choose is soft metal because, if you actually listen tho it, it has a point. My background is just plain blue, red, and orange. These things I think define me. My culture is actually kind of vivide.

I like baseball and basketball, so I tried to base my project on those. I'm not a big fan of poetry at all... I don't think it has much meaning, to others, it means a ton, but I guess I just can't read it like they can. I just got lucky enough to find a decent poem about baseball on ChannelOne.

I like rap and rock music, so that kind of gives me the baseball look I guess. My culture is pretty much about music, technology (I LOVE TO I.M. PEOPLE) and sports, and when I looked over the project, I found out that I'm a bigger sports fanatic that I thought I was. I still try to keep some academics in though, since I'm planning to grow up, head to college (Hopefully UAB), and become a veterinarian.

Technology helped me a bunch. If Photostory 3 wasn't here, we'd have to go with powerpoint, which doesn't have the features that Photostory 3 has.

The choices I make paint a pictue about me because it all reflects off of me. My culture is Christianty, I'm living in the decade of technology, I have a variety of friends. What difines me is, I do things differently then other people. Now I'm finding out about myself is I'm seeing who I am and who I will become
I plan to go to Auburn University, but I'm still not sure what I would like to be. Technology help by opening new things to my life. Without technology I wouldn't even be typing on this blog.

Technology is an important thing in my life and it helped me by leading me into new and cool things.

The choices I make do describe who I am. Who I hang out with tells people the kind of personality I have. I am also a Christian and I hope the way I act and the way I show myself really show God through me. My culture is about being yourself and having fun at the same time. I am also a friend, sister, daughter, grand daughter,and neice. Also my culture is going to church and praising God. I found out that I know alot more about myself then I thought. Also I found out that I am different from many people. My educational goals are to go to college and get a degree. I would really love to go to school and get a good job from what I have learned. Technology really helped because I listen to different types of music, I talk to people on the phone, and computers help with alot of things.

My images are all a part of me. I do and act like all the things I a said. I chose that song because I love it, I don't care what anyone else says about it. I found out that I was a better artist than I thought. The technology helped by giving me the ability to take pictures. My goals for the future are to be in SCA throughout the rest of my school years.

In my Project, I liked to use alot of "strange" art pieces for my project. I also really loved to to use images that I felt related to me most. As most people know, I like to act diffrently than other kids. I dont like to be the same when it comes to how I act, so I tried to make my culture project reflect that. My Culture is who I am. Without everyone having a diffrent culture, we would all basically be the same so My Culture defines me. I guess I would say that My culture, is based on My faith. I am very involved with my church and its a BIG part of my life. I am a daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, bestfriend, and cousin.
I want to go to college, someday, I havent decided where.. but I really would like to be a missionary working the the medical field. Possibly a teacher, or just a regular nurse. Technology interests me so much, and I think that it has expanded horizions for me. I learn alot just by looking something up on google.

My choices painted a picture of who I am because I told about my hobbies, religion, music, poems; almost everything you need to know about me. The role it plays is just telling peole about me, and what I stand for.
My culture: We celebrate every major holiday, and I open one present on Christmas Eve, and stay up past 12:00 on New Years Eve. I found out that i really dont relize that we are really different from other culture. Some don't even celebrate Christmas, or even believe in GOD.
My educational gaol is to maintain A-B Honor Role until colledge, and go to UAB like my mom. Technology helped me explain who I am by using the internet to get songs, cameras to get pictures, internet to get more picture, and Photostory to make the movie about me.

I think my choices tell people about me because I am with my friends alot,I spend alot of time at school, I have pets that I spend time playing with, and I like to knit. I do not listen to alot of music but I spend alot of time with my family and friends.I found out that everyone's culture is different but we all have some things in common.
I would like to become a marine Biologist. I would like to learn more about taking digital pictures and making movies on computers.I like to take picures so that helped alot to explain my culture.

Some of the pictures that I had were things that are in my life every day. The reason why I chose that certain poem was because I wrote it and it is true that I do not like poetry. The music that I chose was very fun and cheerful wich is the kind of person that I am. My culture is that I like to have fun and I love to be around my friends and have a good time. I found out that I have fun making things with technology that express who I am. My educational goals are to make good grades and become a pharmicist.

My choices "paint a picture" of me because they are all thing that describe me and what I like to do. My culture is a mix between school, friends, church and family. I learned that I am have my own identity and that I do not really like all of the same things as everyone else. My educational goals for the future are to keep making A's and B's and to get to be a Phisical Theripist. I think that the computer provided me with lots of resources that I could not have had just in a book. I also think that it made the project better.

My choices of pictures, music, and poetry described me because they represent who I am. My music was Everlasting God by Chris Tomlin. He is one of my favorite Christian singers and I love christian music. God is a big part of my life. My pictures represented me because it was pretty much all my favorite things in life. I had a picture of my little sister, Michaela, because she has a special place in my heart because she is my little sister and I have to set a good example for her, being the big sister. I also had a picture of me playing soccer because soccer is my favorite and always will be sport. I have played since I was 4 years old, and I hope to someday play for Alabama in college or maybe go Pro. My poem described me because sometimes my parents really get on my nerves (Shhhh.) when they say I can't do this or that, but I know that they are doing what's best for me. My choices paint a picture in our classroom because I try to be nice to everyone and be a good Christian. My culture is mixed between school, sports, church, friends, and family. I found out about myself that I really do like my sister more than I thought I did, and that we are all different. My educational goals for the future is to graduate high school, go to the University of Alabama, get a degree in Education, and become a special- education teacher. Technology really helped me because it helped me get to know some of the people in our class better.

This project was a grait project to paint a picture of who I am. I chose my favorite kind of music,images, and poetry. I got to explain my culture by saying that I loved God.

I got to express myself choose the music I loved, the images I wanted, and the poetry I wanted. In the future I want to go to a big college and have all A's. Technology helped me express myself in alot of ways it let me download pictures and music
I wanted.I really enjoyed this project

The music that any one listens to is very describing exm someone that listens to country is most likely from the south but personally i like punk and hard-core.Pictures may describe how you feel like if you have a picture of the sun smileing than that person might be a very happy person.I like the more unique looking art pieces.Peotry tells how any one is feeling like maybe a girls grandfather died than she might wright a poem of how she misses him or how sad she is personally i like the funny poems that make you want to laugh really hard.Well my culture is shared throughout my school.My culture is to follow Jesus.I'm not sure.I would like to grow up to be a five star head chef.I'm not sure.

In my movie I chose my images and my poetry about me and stuff I like to do. For example, I chose a poem about baseball becasuse that is my favorite sport. In my music I chose that song becase I like it. My images, music and poetry showed that I like sports, I am a Christian, and I have good friends. My culture is that I am a Christian, like sports, have good friends, am a student, a friend, a son, and a brother. During my project I found out that I have a lot of relationships with a lot of people. For example I am a son, a student, a friend, a cousin, a brother, a player, a customer, and a grandson. My educational goals for the future are to go to a good college after high school and graduate there and, if I can't be a professional athlete, I want to go to medical school and become a doctor. Technology helped me to find pictures of things in my culture.

In my Culture by Art Project I chose the images I did because they showed my Christmas traditions, and my love for fashion, technology, and Italian food.
My poem , "The Performance," expresses me and the way I feel when I am dancing. My choices painted a picture of the hobbies I have, and how I define myself through my clothes.
My culture is a teenage daughter and sister who loves to listen to music, go to church, and hang out with friends. Mostly, I just like to have fun.
I found out that I thought a lot more about myself than about others and that it was very easy to name the things that I like to do.
My educational goals for the future are to finish high school at the top of my Graduating Class, and attend either Auburn or Samford University. There, I will study to be an Anethesiologist, or I might decide to take a fashion designing course at Auburn.
I will definately stay in touch with technology through out the rest of my life because it makes things so much easier. Even knowing how to inport pictures and narrate movies and clips can help you with projects in the future.

In my project I chose things in my everyday life to put in my photo story. For example, I put a guitar on my photo story because I play it everyday. I also put sports I enjoy such as basketball, and football. I chose the poem 'Swish' because I hope that I when a big game for my team. My choices paint a picture of me because they define who I am. The background I bring to the classroom is probaly funny and creative. My culture is all that I am and if you can found out everything about a person's culture, you will know exactly who they are. I didn't really learn anything about myself but I did learn to double check everything that I save to make sure it saves correctly. My educational goals are to make through High School here in Trussville and then go to the University of Alabama. Technology helped me make the movie that defined me and it also helped with capturing images and finding them on the internet.

Culture Defined By Art!!!

My pictures told who I was by telling what I do for instance I cheer for High Fly All-Stars so I inserted a picture of our logo to say that I cheer for High Fly All-stars. I also added a picture of the track because I am also a runner I run both Cross Country and Track & Field. The Picture of the two girls , Whitney and Heather, and then the picture of Kylie represtented friends. On the smiley face before the pictures that represnetated friends said, "Friends mean the worl to me" that was suppose to say that I am usually a happy person, smiling, and that I love my friends like you will more than you will ever know. I had a picture of the sign in the front of HTMS school and the face of the Husky telling about were I attend school and that I love it there. I had three other pictures two of the American Flag and the other of Jesus Christ, my savior. My music represents me because I am am a Christian and that song, Who Am I, talks about Jesus Crist. My poem was about firends and I have already said that they mean the world to me and that I love them more you than you could ever know. My culture is... I am a sister, a friend, a daughter, a cousin, a grand daughter, and many more things. I love hanging out with my friends and just having fun. I also am a athlete i love to both run and cheer. I found out that there is more to me than just who I am but what do I do and how I reflect Jesus Christ to the world. My educational goals for the future are to graduate high school then go on to colledge and hopefully be a nurse, unless I change my mind. Technology helps me in my personal exploration by letting me take pictures, do research, and to talk to people either on a cell/house phone or through the computer like email.

Question 1:
-- My choices showed how I am always happy and having fun. For example, my poem was "Smile." I love to smile, laugh, and have fun! Some of my pictures included friends, technology, and school. Those are some of the main things in my life right now. I also used different colors in my slides because boring, plain things are the exact opposite of how I am.

Question 2:
-- My culture is just like an average teenager's culture. I love to be with my friends, go to the movies, leave all of my junk on my floor, and make the best of my life while I'm young. Sometimes my parents get on my nerves, and occasionally teachers too. In my life, I'm going to go with what comes my way, and live it out.

Question 3:
--I didn't really find out anything new about myself except I have a procastination problem...I did find out alot of new things about other people in the class, though.

Question 4:
--In the future, I would like to finish out high school, and go to college at UAB. I'm not sure what major I would like to get yet, but I do know I want to get a good job.

Question 5:
-- For my project, I used lots of technology. I used a camera to take my pictures, photostory to make the actual presentation, and I couldn't of made my presentation without a computer.

The images that I chose describe me because on some of them I had pictures of my friends and my friends are an important chapter of my life. Also some pictures are of techonogly and I use techonogly everday.When I have pictures of the school it means that I go to Hewitt Trussville Middle School and I repersent this school everyday and I will never do anything to make this school look bad. When I have the picture of the flag its because I am an American and I will repersent the United States in a good way with all my heart and I will obey the laws. The music I chose describes me because I am a Christian and I believe in God and Jesus very much. My poem repersents me because it talks about friends and my friends mean the world to me and they are always there for me and I am always there for them. My furture goals are to graduate High School and to continue running because I love to run and I want to run until I just have to stop!!! I want to be a really good runner and I am a good athlete. After High School I really want to go to collage to become a doctor (unless I change my mind.)

I chose my images, music, and poetry to express who I am to my classmates. My pictures were of my friends, a cross, my dog, wet seal clothes, and the technologies I use like ipods and cell phones. The song I used was called "If Everyone Cared". I like that song because it shows a great point about the world. The poem I chose was about friendship because I really am happy that I have my friends. It shows that I am a Christian, I enjoy being around my friends, I like pets, and I use many different technologies. I am a little bit Irish, English and all other types of backgrounds. I am a daughter, a sister, and a friend. My goals are to go to Auburn University and become a nurse. Technology helped me by finding my favorite poem and finding pictures that express who I am.

My culture painted a picture of me by showing my teacher and friends/classmates of who I am and detail on throughout my life. My culture is that I believe in Jesus Christ and that he made made everyone different than everybody else ,but not only to treat each other as you are equal to them. I found out that I am an own individual that im different than everybody and that's how I'm supposed to be. When I get older I want to graduate high school and go to college and get a degree for being an accountant. Technology has helped me out tremendously. I use it everyday in my lifetime. It really helps me during school , because I have alot of homework and I use at home talking to friends and looking up cool things.

My culture painted a picture of me and my culture!!! I chose the song called I am Living In Fast Foward by:Kenney Chesney because it is a great song that I really like!!!! My culture is about me and my familie's traditions on holiday's. I found out that my culture is better than I thought before I did this project. My educational goals in live is to attend Auburn university only because I want to be a dentist or Phamarcy manager over stores in alabama. She told even though you go for alabama Auburn has a better education for those two jobs. My technology helped me a lot in life!!!!!!! I really enjoyed my project and hope to do a similiar one!!!!!!!!!!

My choices paint a picture by showing of what all i like to do and believe in and all the basics about me. My culture doesn't really have a certain group that I fit in with, I am who i am. I didn't learn anything about myself that i didn't already know. My educational goals are to attend Duke univrsity and major in astrology to work at NASA. Technology did the whole exploration for my personal life for this powerpoint.

My culture painted a picture of me by showing some of the things included in my life. My culture would be: family, friends, church, school, activities, music, and the food that I like to eat. What I found out about myself is that I am a little different than most of the people in my class, and that I should not be fearful of letting people know about me. I would like to major in sports and medicane or in orthipedics and minor in physical therapy. I was able to express the things about me through song bites, voice recording and other things.

Mine painted the picture that no one is like me. I am my own self and no one else. My culture is I believe in God and I am a individual in my own way. I found out that I am involved in many more things than I thought I was. My goals are to go to college and get a good education. I am hoping that I get a college degree. The technology helped me by learning how to use powerpoints and work more efficately and more effectivly. It helped me work a lot faster. Without the teaching, I don't know if iy would been as good.

This project painted a picture of me that explained who I am.A big part of my culture is sports. I play football,baseball, and I wrestle.The second biggest part of my culture is going to school.I found out that I had more about me than what i thought.I learned that I am unique.My goals are to graduate from Auburn University with my vetinarian degree,and join the military and become a commander. Technology helped me in this project to find my personality.I used a camera to take pictures that discribed me. I also used the computer to help me find a poem, and a song that discribed me.

i think the images would be skate boards because i love to skate board. my favorite piece of poetry was by Jim Rohn: "live big dont stop be small but stand tall always try and you will never fall." I love country, but i hate rap, and it really depends in what kind of mood im in. my culture really is just like anyone elses except im just misunderstood alot. i found out that what i really wanted to do in the near future is that i would like to follow in my older brothers footsteps and keep and open mind on becomeing a soildire for the us marines. i found out that i always think negative before positive. technology helped me understand how to keep track of certainthings, like two years ago i took a 1 year cemenar on how to become an computer technology engenier for the us marine group 360 spin, they are enginears for f16 fighter jets.

My Culture By Art powerpoint showed who I am and what I like to do. It told people who I don't know very well about me. My pictures showed my house, my dog, and my friends. These show who I am in very many ways. My music was Waiting on the World to Change because a lot of the thoughts and veiws expressed in that song fit mine. My poem talked about friends and how they are always there. I chose this poem because friends are very important to me. My culture would be: family, friends, activities, technology, and food. I found that I am different from everyone in my class in several ways, but I also found out that many people in my class like the same things I do. My educational goals for the future are to leep making good grades throughout the rest of my years at school and through college. Technology helped me in my personal exploration by helping me find my song lyrics and poem. Technology also helped me record my poem and show pictures that helped display my culture. I enjoyed showing my culture through powerpoint and hope to do another project similar to this one!

My presentation showed who I am, because I put pretty much everything that I am like. It described my personality, and everything like that. The pictures were of the flag, the school, Mrs. Dobbs, and my friends. The pictures of my friends were my favorite. That is because all of our personality's shined through. We all have a great personality. Bye!!!! ♥♥♥ Love ya ♥♥♥

On my presentation I had put pictures of my friends, The Statue of Liberty, but also art around the school. As for my music I put my song on there becuase I like that kind of music and that band.[The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus]. My poem was about school and how u need to be on time to everything. Well because this is a computer lab and I could not live without them. But also I walk in with friends, I have many friends so thay are a main part of my culture. My culture are being a Christian ,and my Traditions. I have more confidence in my self. To go to the University Of Auburn ,or Michigan. I could get my pictures on there ,but also i could take pictures.

My choice of painting a picture of me as the background that i bring to our classroom and the role that my culture plays in it defines me because it shows a ton of charachteristics about me. it shows what i like to do , who i like to be around , and many other things. My culture consist of many thing like cheerleading , myspace =]] , school , friends , and parents and family. i found out that i have a lot more relationships than i thought i did. Also that i am a very busy girl. doing this project actually made me sit and think about how much i do. My educational goals are that i will stay in school and maintain all A's and B's all through school as well as college. i would like to atend Auburn University. [[War Eagle]]! Technology helps me in my personal exploration because it helps me see what i can do and how smart i really am. Also it gives me lots of intertainment when i am bored =]]

In my project I basically painted a picture of my self in couple way. My art portion showed who I am because it showed some of the things in nature I love and some thing I think look very cool. My poem described me perfectly by talking about how Christians were God's computer. My song lyrics also defined some of my beliefs and wishes. The entire project hopefully showed that my culture is fore the most part a teenage Christian girl who loves being with her friends and sees the world through her own eyes. I found out that I am unique and I was made that way for a reason no matter what people say. My educational goals are for sure to go to a very good collage such as Harvard and most likely to get in to a good law school however I am only 13 so who knows what I will end up doing. Technology helped me in my personal exploration by showing me different view points of people. Without Technology I would most likely never meet talk to or read about any of the people's view points that I have had the privilege to see.

My culture painted a picture of me because it had all the pictures abotu me. Also it had my culture attribute such as my religion and my electronics such asa my cell phone. My poetry explained about me and how I am with my friends like sharing and caring. Another thing is it showed about me and my surroundings suchas what I do after school. It talked about how my life is like I am a daughter,neice,dancer,friend,and a helper to others. Culture is your everything that you live for!! I live for joy and hope!! I am my own person that is what I found out about myself. In the future I want to have a good life with kids and a job and a house that i can go to after work. Technology helps me in so many ways such as when i need to call my mom I just use myu cell phone or if I need to check my grades on the computer I just go to STI. That is my painted culture.

My culture "painted a picture" by showing my friends and class mates what makes me different than them. First of all, my culture is my own and it is what makes me,me. My culture is also very important to me and it always will be. That I am not a follower and I am my own person. My educaational goals for the future are probably that I will be an engineer and get a dergree in math and science. Technology has really helped me in my personal exploration because without my culture would not be the same

My choices painted a picture of me because I got to show my class mates who I really am. My culture is my religion, my traditions, my favorite foods ect. I found out that Savin me by Nickleback is my favorite song because when I had to think of my favorite song that song poped in to my head. Go to high school graduate, go to college get a degree in medical school and become a doctor. It has helped me because now I can make power points and look up song lyrics and stuff like that.
