I think this montage talks a lot about me. I started with my family crest in the top right hand corner, it was amazing because I found out my origins are from Spain. Then I went to my background, the Bay Area. I now live in Buda, Texas, but I’m originally from Oakland, California so I felt really good about my background because it says a lot about me. I’m so proud of my roots that is why I had to include my parents countries’ flags. I feel that I have Mexican and Guatemalan blood running through my veins and that’s why I had to add the flags. I also added Bugs Bunny on the side talking about Mexican pride. Next I thought about my beliefs. I tried to incorporate my religion, Our Beloved Virgen de Guadalupe, and some mottos that I live my life by day to day, like “Smile Now Cry Later,” and “My Crazy Life.” What these two mottos mean to me put together is that life is always going to be full of ups and downs but no matter what we always have to keep our heads up and always look for the positive things in everything. Since I am from Oakland I added the Raiders’ logo and slapped it on top of the San Francisco sky scrapers because that to me signifies that we are the best no matter what. LOL! My friends call me “Lil Sleepy” because at the most random moments I fall asleep, and that is why I put “Lil Sleepy” on the bridge. I put him there because I saw it like I have to walk the bridge reach the light at the end and achieve serenity. I’m that type of person that’s proud of my origins and I’m never going to forget where I came from. This is what is in my name.

Day to day that passes we are surrounded by media. CNN, i-pods, Disturbia, Myspace all examples of news, music, movies, internet we are exposed to on a daily basis. I know on a about a daily basis music by rappers has an effect on me because I don’t know but I feel like what they sing sometimes relates to what’s going on in my life.

Sometimes what Lil Rob, or Big Moe sing does really relate to a point in my life that im going through.

As I’ve been growing technology has been changing a lot right in front of my eyes. I’ve gone from big boxed TV’s to new flat LCD screens. I went from my Super Nintendo to Nintendo 64 to Playstation 1 and later 2.

Now in high school a piece of technology that plays an important role in my life are computers. I use them for homework class work and projects. On the side I also use it for my music and Myspace. I’ve learned how to use programs that help you make movies, others that help you make commercials, or even just presentations.

Either way media and technology are around us all the time and instead of just using this technology I believe we can use it for good and better. I think we can use it for bigger things. Like our teacher, Trevor said,” We wish we couldn’t say that technology is the key to our future,” but I mean really take a look around and find out and get involved by finding out how technology has done for you.
