This is just a second draft of my flash because I still need to add the music and animations.
I chose to do my flashback on the safety, match, and reach colleges because all of the years (1st-3rd) will be going through this process someday whether it be in their freshman year or in their senior year. I wanted to help people realize what kinds of colleges there were out there.
Lending a helping hand
1) Introduction:
-Introduce ourselves
-Introduce our topic: advice from ‘08 3rd years to uprising ‘09 3rd yrs concerning all academic aspects regarding educational success in the future.
2) 3rd years advice (3 interviews)
3) What second years expect for the upcoming academic year. (3 interviews)
4) Maybe ask an adult (RA) for educational advice.
5) Conclusion
- wrap up (?)
As our second assignment in Tech class we had to make a montage about our names. I chose to use a picture of a Jasmine flower in the background because whenever someone thinks of my name they always think of the flower. I put the Mexico flag because my ethnicity is Mexican-American. My mom is from Michoacan, Mexico that is why I have a symbol of a crest that is blue, red, gold, and green close to the bottom left. My dad is from Durango, Mexico that is why I have a symbol of a crest with a tree in the middle of it and two leaves on the side close to the other Mexico crest. My last name is hard for some to pronounce but after a while it is easy to say. I searched the web not really expecting to find anything of my last name. I ended up finding an Italian crest. I never really thought of my last name to be Italian but there it was. It got me thinking what else I am besides Mexican. Which led to my discovery of my acestory. I called my mother up and asked her if she knew what other type of blood I had in me. She told me Spanish and German. That is why I have the Spanish and German crests. Since I was born on June 6th, 1991 I became an official Gemini. Although Geminis are known to be outgoing and adventurous I was never that kind of girl until my sophomore year of high school. That is why I have the Gemini sign because it shows that I have grown from a quiet person to a person who likes to stand out sometimes. Starting my Junior year I never really thought of myself as an attractive person, I mean sure my friends would tell me that I was but I never really believed them. Then this one boy came into my life and taught me that it isn’t all about looks but what is inside also. His name is Luis Angel Ceja and my current, first, boyfriend. Last but not least, I chose to write my name small because it shows how my name is not what makes me, me. But what I allow myself to be (hey that rhymes =]).
Everyday people are exposed to media, weather it is can watching TV or visiting a college campus. Today media influences the way people think and interact. Personally I have been influenced by two out of the five (Video, Audio, Images, Interactive, and Print) types of media. They were Interactive and Video.
When I was smaller I would always use the computer. I would look up information for school on the internet. This caused me to accidentally run into a website called Youtube.com. Youtube has influenced many people to do dumb things to get noticed. For example, I personally know a few people at my school that have taken videos of fights and posted them on youtube. This has caused them to think that it is okay to have violent things online because it is “cool”. Other things that you could find on Youtube would be music videos and educational videos. Although Youtube should not be used by minors, it is a very useful sight to receive some useful information.
While I was looking on the internet for information, I noticed that there was a lot of advertisements for different products. This year I fell for a certain poetry.com ad. The requirement was to submit a poem and they would publish it in a book. One day I happen to have mentioned this to my friend. She told me that she had done the same thing and that nothing ever happened to her poem. I was very disappointed. After that day I learned my lesson: Don’t trust ads because they could just be ripping you off for your money.
One type of media that has effected everyones lives at one point would have to be music (audio).??Music has effected peoples’ lives because I know for a fact that if some one is sad, nine out of ten times they are most likely to listen to sad songs. If a person is heart broken by they are most likely going to hate listening to a song that once made them smile when they were with their significant other or they will listen to a song about how “love is pain“. If a person is in a cheery mode they will listen to a song that makes them happy, hyper or makes them laugh.
The second piece of media that people use daily would be the internet. Weather they use it to communicate with people through Myspace, hi5, or Facebook or to look up research for school. One day I had to go online and look for information on Vernon Dahmer for a power point presentation for my humanities class. The internet has helped people to find jobs, their life long partner, and even who their ancestors are. Although the internet has its downs, it is still a very useful way to receive information from.
