ART is a IMITATION of LIFE....

At About 8th period on a Friday, I decided to not go to Abrams class. At first my intention was to visit my sponsor, but since there was an interruption ( fire drill) I planned instead to kick with the home girl, Webbie  http://nikki-webster.blogspot.com/  in DeGiovanni's Art room for the rest of the period, while there I enquired about her work with the dental molding that she was partaking in. I offered to place my teeth up for display so she would have various models of teeth to chose from for her final product and presentation. Anyway, as I first intended to speak of I visited my sponsor around 3 to 3:30. I was particularly anxious to get to meet because I have many ideas in my head pertaining to my presentation. Although I may be over analyzing details, I want to make sure that I put in tons of effort and information.

 Together we went over the sequences of the presentation and brochure, so I feel as though I clarified and cleared up some of the concerns I once had. In order to become more forward in what I want for my brochure perhaps I will get  a newspaper styled format pattern for my brochure. I'm not really techncal, but I been shown a few ways by my sponsor that even the unsavory can be wise in technology. So I definitely want to incorporate a thing or two into my presentation and brochure of course with the help of my mentor, Mr. Myles and Ms. Ringanwald.

iFACEBOOK..My choice...

You know you never really realize what you do until you look at a facebook fan page. Everytime I go onto the infamous website of Facebook, I always find myself finding a new "Become a Fan" page that tends to resonate with a trifle or habit of mine. Facebook is an addiction in itself not to mention the many Fan pages they've joined. From the wacky " join if you are under 5'9 to more meaningful " You messed up. I mad a mistake." My fellow classmate, Ashley Webster may have a better ideal of what I'm speaking of!

Running And Winning!

 Today I had the privilege of meeting with some magnate figures in a workshop held by the school known as  "Running and Winning" which consisted of another school, Winslow. The activities consist of interviewing consuel women, fire commissioners, and other important figures of the South jersey area. A common aspect of each of these people is that they were all females. It was really empowering to be able to speak to various hardworking women considered to be in a man's occupation. The event chronically involved icebreakers, great food, conversation, and a mock trial which was really fascinating, each person in the group in our group held the following positions; Campaign Manager, Publicist, Speech writer, and the candidate. Each of us had two hours to complete an campaign poster and a 1-2 min. speech on the signifigance of Efficient energy. The results ended in entertaining readings from participates like Ishanna Rodriguez, Amberlee Garrison, and more. In the end, the experience was a terrific event that exhibited the importance of volunterism and independence. By the way Joyce Walker, is brillant, I want to be just like her when I grow up!!

ITS CRUCH TIME>>>>>>>>GRRRR!!!

When I visited my sponsor on Friday I actually had his FULL ATTENTION! No papers, pens, or annoying secretaries. So, as I elaborated on potential plans and ideas for my presentation. I got feedback for my thoughts on the final product. I made it clear that I was a little anxious on the fact that I wasn’t certain on exactly what my project would actually consist of. His advice to me was to sell my product in other words know what I’m talking about. So, I’m really, really, really NERVOUS… Anyway I’m coping with the idea of presenting in front of certain people like the administration and a few of my teachers since I have somewhat of a phobia for speaking in front of large or prevalent involved crowds of people. Regretfully, I did mention the date of June 11th to my sponsor and he spoke of a possibility of him making an appearance to my presentation, but only time will reveal the outcome.

From April 11th to the 13th all of the senior class and I went on a journey to Disney World in Florida. While there we were asked to make connections that accede with senior project. Well it just so happens that Disney and journalism go hand and hand. As I was in the park I made various connects that resonate with the study of journalism: the occupation of reporting, editing, photography, or broadcasting news. Like the picture I took of the giant golf ball at Epcot or the brochure I read at The Disney Animal Kingdom. Even back at the Hotel all I had to do was turn on the television and a Hostess was talking about the multiple attractions in the five Disney World parks. Basically, everything can resonate with the art of writing that reflects superficial thought.

__________ Is Food For Thought.

     A Time of  Grace, is the title of the autobiography  I've rented from the Camden County Library, which seems to be my new home nowadays, it's the first hand account in the life of the gifted Arthur Ashe. In his prime, Ashe could easily be rendered one of the greatest tennis players of his time, whom helped perfect and advertise the sport. He broke barriers for countless Afro-American altheletes in all genres of sport and became an advocate for heart disease and aids, two fatal ailments that took his life in 1993.
     Being a fanatic of tennis myself, I'm able to relate with such a phonemonal player, but another portion that made it so easy to connect to the auto-biography is the determination and faith exhibited throughout Ashe's life and prefessional career. Generally, I reccomend this wonderful account of admiration and self-awareness. 

We Have A Connection!

     To answer your question, Mr. Abrams, I can make a perfect connection with the new health care law, which just happens to resonate with my subject of journalism and its relevance to abortion. In fact, I can quite a few examples. Like the health reform issue, abortion has cause irascible effects in both  government and personal appeals. Its became so bad at times in fact many people have lost their lives to help make these new legisiatures possible. The issues involving health care reform and abortion have caused waves across country and throughout the world.
 Many articles such as the New York Times, The Boston Globe, and USA Today have discussed these topics within full depth. Columnist, News reports, and the average citizens critique the choices of laws concerning abortion and healthcare. As a matter of fact, the government has recently announced a potential addition to the new reform claiming that abortion will possibly be added to insurance based policies.
