The next fifty years...

I think the next fifty years will have a positive affect on the world. In our modern day United States a lot of aspects of our society have become disapointing. Kids barely have any manners or respect, our economy is down, and there are many other things that need to change in order for our world to become a better place. The flying cars, cloning, and new technologies are all very new and exciting, but not so necessary. It is more important for society to get back on track. Even though I don't agree with the article from the 1950's, i think the society was more relaxed and a happier living envirnment. Hopefully our society advances in technology and the society improves to make a better world for everyone.

On Writing Well

I think this project was actually very helpful because I learned so much more about the book. When we studied this book in journalism we had to actively read it and also did some lessons on it. However, i didn't really understand the material in the book until I had to go over it again for this project.Now I understand how to write essays, articles,annotated list, and many others from the novel much better.

My Vacation to Myrtle Beach

My video is about one of my family vacations. In the spring of 2008 my family and my best friend took a vacation to Myrtle Beach. While in Myrtle Beach we did a lot of activities. Some of theses activities included going to the pool, going to the arcade, and rented a golf cart. While in Myrtle Beach we rented a three bedroom family house. We stayed for about a week and had a lot of fun. Unfortunately the week went by very fast and it was time to go home to Staten Island.



Project Reflection: When we first started this project I didn't want to do it at all. I thought it was very hard and i didn't understand at all. Then after a while i got the hang of it and it became more fun. Adding all of the pictures, sounds, transitions, and effects became easy. This project was a good experience becasue it taught me how to use several programs that i never knew how to use. Some of these include google, Imovie, and blogger.

My Family Story

When I was five my family became a little unique. My mom and dad decided to adopt on little girl from China, so that I would not have to grow up an only child.When my first sister Danielle came home she fit right in with everyone and everything. Then after going through the adoption process once already, my parents decided it would be nice to adopt two more kids from China that were in need of a family. In China there are a lot of kids in orphanages with medical problems because they cannot afford to repair them. My sister was born with cleft lip and pallet, but not long after she arrived in the United States she had it fixed.Therefore my mom decided that it would be a good idea to help two more little boys with medical problems that were in need of a home, Thomas and Nicky. They were also repaired by the doctors as soon as they arrived here. I would never regret my parents decision to adopt three children, who are now my brothers and sisters.
