The clothes I wear I have chosen because I like it, not because someone else would like it, or because someone else is wearing it. The clothes I wear I have chosen because I feel comfortable wearing it. The piece of clothing I really like is t-shirts in just about any color. I like them because I don't have to worry about not being dressed appropriate. My favorite piece of clothing is shirts, because it not only is comfortable but it doesn't hold me down when I go from watching T.V. to playing with my niece to playing with my dog on a rainy day.

This summer I am planning on going to South Padre Island at least once. If I go to the beach I would need to be in Brownsville, I would like to spend at least one month with my grandparents. While I spend time with my grandparents I would like to also work there. I would like to get a job during the summer to help my grandparents with their expenses. I really want to visit my family over there because within the last month they have visited us more than twice. I would like to babysit my cousin to give my grandmother a brake, because he is a handful, I would also like to visit his pet sheep.

This summer I am planing on taking a class at ACC, Austin Community College, I am going to take a Government class. After taking the class I would like to visit my grandparents in Brownsville, last year during the summer I spent almost a month there and I really enjoyed it, and would like to do it again. If I am unable to go to Brownsville I would like to get a summer job. If I do go to Brownsville I would like to go to the beach, last time I went with my family I had a great time, even though we did argue over little things we all had a fun. I am still undecided about what I am doing after my ACC class is over but I hope I go to Brownsville

My plan is not to stress and worry about the TAKS but to take it serious. I do think that I will be successful in the TAKS, because I think my teaches taught me everything that I needed to learn. The day before the TAKS I will sleep enough, eat a good breakfast, and I will not rush through the test, because that can jeopardize  how I do. I will think "this is the last time I will have to take this test, next year there will be no more TAKS for me." I know that I will do my best because I want to represent my school in a good way.

This is a panorama of harvesting wheat. I like this panorama because it looks very peaceful and it doesn't look polluted with people buildings or technology. I would like to visit this place to get a feel of how life was with having horses instead of cars. I would also like to see how people work with their own hands instead of having a machine do everything for them. The scenery might look boring to others but to me it just looks relaxing, I would like to see the stars in the night sky without having buildings in my way or city lights to dim them in the distance. I would also like the smell of clean air instead of polluted air from cars and from factories, the air that we have grown up with.

I do feel comfortable taking pictures of myself, unless people are watching me then I get all nervous and don't take the picture at all. When other people take a picture of me or attempt to take a picture of me i don't feel comfortable at all. I fell comfortable when I 'm alone because I don't have to worry about someone judging the photos I'm taking. If someone takes a picture of me I might come out doing something embarrassing for example: eating a Quesadia at a Mexican Restaurant. But I did like the picture because I at least didn't have my eyes open.

Since school is almost over staying focused will be very difficult to do, but I will remember that in order to keep my grades up I must avoid any distractions while I'm doing my school work. I must turn my work in on time, stay focused on my goals to get an A in all of my classes. In order for me to achieve my goals I also have to be here every day to get my work and be able to turn it in on time. So my goals are to have better attendance and to get at least a 90 in my classes. I will come every day to school and take care of what needs to be taken care of because I only have ten weeks until school is over.

For spring break my family and I are planing to go to Brownsville, Texas, Brownsville is the farthest south you can go in Texas before getting to Mexico. We will spending time with my mother's side of the family, with my uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents. My aunt will probably ask me to babysit her two year old son, who is a big trouble maker and cant stand to see people touching his toys, which I will do on purpose to get him angry. I will spend most of my time at my grandparents house because even though its small, its very comfortable to be in. We will probably even go to South Padre Island while were there, there are many things to do while in Brownsville.

             During this project, where we have to make backgrounds for the iPhone, Blackberry, and the Droid, I have learned how to leave space in the designs. Without space the design would look crowded with many things and it wouldn't look good. I used space to give the illusion that the starfish are deep in the ocean. I also used lines, lines can express emotions. I used the lines to emphasize the light from the surface of the ocean.

I remember a time I had to prove myself to my parents when I was twelve years old. I used to stay after school to play volleyball for my middle school team, I would get out at six and my parents would often forget at what time I got out, they would come half an hour late. One day I asked them if I could get a cell phone, so that I could remind them to pick me up or tell them that we had a game and was staying late. My parents said no because I wasn't responsible enough to take care of a phone and because my grades were slipping. In order for me to prove I was responsible enough I had to help out more around the house and get my grades up. I would clean the house, instead of sitting down and watching TV, and in school I would finish my work in class and turned in my homework on time. My grades went from borderline to 90's in a matter of weeks. My parents had seen  the progress I had made, I not only showed that I was responsible but that I was also determined, if I put my mind to doing something I would accomplish it. A week later when my parents picked me up they told me I had a surprise waiting for me at home. When I got to my house, on top of the kitchen table was a box, on top of the box was my name "Elizabeth," I opened the box and inside was a brand new cell phone. My parents told me I had proven that I was responsible enough to take care of a cell phone and to keep my grades from going down again. This was the time I had to prove myself to my parents to show them I was responsible.

                 When I was younger around the age of five or six, I made a decision based on my emotions. I was getting off of my school bus with my older brother and he was walking with his friend and his little sister. His little sister was talking to me, but I wasn't paying any attention to her because I was trying to get home. She kept trying to talk to me and then began following me as I attempted to get my brother to keep walking with me, he didn't even turn I my direction as he continued his conversation. The entire time I was talking Spanish which the other girl began to mimic me. I was angry at my brother for not paying any attention to me and I ended up screaming at the girl I told her to "shut up and get away from me." I regret doing that because I felt really bad about what I had done, she had caught me in a bad mood and I had taken my anger out on her.

               In this one picture there are at least 5 elements of design. One is space, space is above the buildings, that is called space because there is nothing there. Line is another element in this picture, the line goes below the buildings dividing the buildings with their reflection. The size of the buildings is different distinguishing them from the others. The reflection of the buildings in the water has texture, because you can see where the light makes the buildings look as if they are bended.  Shape is seen in this picture too, the shape that is most noticeable is a rectangle, the buildings are rectangle, the picture is divided into two large rectangles.

CD Player

The first CD player was invented in 1982 more than 30 years ago. The CD player went out of style because of it size, eventually the ipod, mp3 were invented, which made the CD player look huge compared to the others. To be able to listen to all of your favorite songs from different artist, you would have to carry many CD's. With the ipod and mp3 you just had to buy the songs, then add them to your play list, no more hassle carrying bags filled with CDs.  Even though the CD players have gone out of style, the CD's are still very popular you use them in your car, at your house.

Facebook

        I just read an article on 10 things you shouldn't do or put on Facebook. A lot of the things on the also found out that many people around the world are obsessed with Facebook.  I learned that there are 500,000,000 active Facebook users, people who often check, update their Facebook. Never post that your article just seem stupid that someone wouldn't already know how to do. For example why would you admit to a crime? Or why would post pictures of you and your friends drinking, when your underage? I going out or that you have expensive things in your house, because many people will take advantage that your not home. Something else don't add people you don't know in person.

 Tornado Hits in Twenty Minutes

          If a tornado was 20 minutes from reaching us and my family was safe, the first thing I would save would be my dog, Maton. The next things I would get would be family photos in case someone goes missing. Important documents, id's, passports, ie. so that we can prove who we are. The phones, cameras, and radios, so that we can stay in touch with others. I would also get all the jewelry that is in our house, extra clothes so we have something to wear after the disaster.

iphone Background

I chose this photo because it looked very creative and funny. I like that it combines both technology Apple, and cartoons Homer Simpson. Its funny the way it changed the apple into a cookie and made it look as if Homer took a bite of it. If I had to design an apple background I would like to combine the apple logo with a very familiar cartoon character. Have the character doing something that is very common for themand just include the logo into its actions.
