My Passion
Like I have said. I am a very creative person. I make almost everything into art. I love Painting, drawing, photography, graphic designing, writing, poster making, making collages, etc.
What my portfolio says about me
I hope you are enjoying the website because I think I added a part of me here. All of my pictures of right now and when I was younger. But I think I should give more creativity to my page after all I am very creative.
I also think I should vine more detail on my school subjects. Because one of my main reasons for this website is for school and education.
3 best pieces of work
Bullying PSA
Hey stupid, Good for nothing loser, ugly cow, retard, moron, horrible little... The list goes on. Bullying has been going on for years. From saying words, to depression, to fist fights, and even death. There are a million ways how kids at a very young age or teenagers get hurt. We should do something about it now before it gets out of hand.
Bullying is a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people. [dictionary.com] In other words, it's a person who thinks he/she can do what ever they want. They call you names, they beat you up, they gossip about you, pull pranks on you, bully you online, and just find ways to make your life a living hell.
There is another type of bullying that is more, "modern". It's call Cyber-bullying. "Cyber-bullying" is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones. It has to have a minor on both sides, or at least have been instigated by a minor against another minor. Once adults become involved, it is plain and simple cyber-harassment or cyber-stalking. Adult cyber-harassment or cyber-stalking is NEVER called cyber-bullying. If You don’t believe me, and think that I’m just making this up, then go to, http://www.stopcyberbullying.org/what_is_cyberbullying_exactly.html for the exact definition.
A lot of people have been bullied or even been a victim of bullying. About 42% of children and teens have been bullied online. 35% have been threatened online. Many of those committed suicide. It's sad to know all of this is happening, and we don't do much about it.
The thing that I don't understand is that they know that they are getting bothered, but they do all the wrong things or just don't do anything at all. If that's going on, you don't solve it by committing suicide. You have to live, you were here for a reason. There some helpful ways you can stop the issue without hurting yourself or not telling anyone.
Number One: The action that everyone should to, tell and adult. Your parents give you helpful advice. You an also ask your school counselor. He/She give helpful advice and they can even do something about it. Your teachers are also there. And if it's really that bad then you can ask a professional.
Number Two: If your having Cyber-Bullying issues then you can block them. Usually there will be a block user button and even a unfriend button next to it. If you click that button than you will never hear from them again.
Number Three: Another thing you can do is ignore them. They want you to respond and try to defend yourself, like that they can have something to do. If you don't say anything at all, then they'll get bored and give up.
I know people who have been bullied and hated it. Even an amazing athlete named Tori Allen has been bullied in High School. She never told anyone, not even her parents. Bullies called her names and she used to eat lunch in the bathroom by herself. But the others never really got to know her. If they did then there friend will be a rock climbing champ from the X games. She may have been called a loser in high school. But her fans call her a winner.
Bullying is a major problem around the world. Especially in American Schools. We should accept other people no matter how different they are. Just because your bigger than them, doesn't give you a right to get whatever you want. And if your smaller than your enemy, you have to be the bigger person. Do what's right instead of making it worse. Stop bullying and speak up.
The End
The Drawing that "Speaks" for itself
During my SSP time. I managed to complete all of my assignments and my amazing project. But there was plenty of time left. What can I do for half an hour until the next period. My teacher knew I was an artist. She has seen my projects and supports my artistic ability to do boring school tasks into a work of art. I thought she wa right so I grabbed a scrap piece of paper and started sketching.
I was thinking of a poster that could change people's point of view about bullying. My idea was a mouth or lips not as a doodle but a picture filled in with words. The words that are in those lips are things that people say that are evil or not needed. Then I draw these special looking speech bubbles that say words can hurt and think before you speak. I over lined it with special fine point colored pens. When the bell rang, I was finished with my masterpiece. I showed it to my teacher and loved the idea.
The next day, the school consular wanted a word with me. Thousands of words were moving in my head tell me 'what the heck did I do know?' but it turns out my teacher showed my work of art to him and he went crazy for it. He told me he mentioned it to the school magazine and they want to use my idea for the Stop Bullying Campaign. Now because of him, my idea is around the school for all to see.
I hope that my drawing influences people to actually think what your going to say before something they say can be a big problem. I am honored to have my picture telling everyone to stop bullying in any way and to be scared to do something about it. Instead of having a mouth full of bad things, you can make a difference in the world for today, and a better future for everyone.
High Expectations Chapter 1 my amazing life
Still can't believe that the times of middle school are over. I tried my best to not get any detentions, trying my best on my grades, making good relationships with my friends, and wishing the party never ended at prom. I just a 14 year old teen starting my first year in high school in a foreign country. I moved to so many places that I lost count, but it's all because of my dad. He serves for the military. A lieutenant colonel in the marines.
Surviving in different places with my two annoying siblings. Joshua is my first younger brother. He was born when we were staying in Hawaii in 2000. We have an awesome relationship but we fight way too much due to how much drama he has, following with the lack of patience. But he is not as bad compared to my sister Nicole. She's a little more dramatic due to the fact that she's a girl. Even though she's 7, she is such a princess with glam because she was born in California. I play with her on certain games so she won't be such a brat all the time. And sometimes I just want to put duct tape to her mouth because some things that come out of her mouth don't even make sense.
I have herd so many sad stories that I shouldn't complain for what I have like I just did. Kids can't find a family, some parents died or split up which I know a lot of people who have, people that bully them, no house to live under, nothing to eat, no one to love, or be with.
So many things that are happen in this world, but why don't we do anything to stop this from happening? And when we do something, why do we have to be so selfish over everything around us? Are you saying we can't live in peace, all together as one family? That's what I don't understand.
I'm just grateful for having a family, my parents are happily married, we can afford a house or apartment I this case, and we may not be the richest people in the world but at least we are not living on the street. But I still want to do something about it.
I also want to do something before I leave back to the states. There's this girl I had a crush on her ever since I landed on this country. She's nice, crazy, funny, blonde haired with natural hi-lights, the prettiest blue eyes, and a smile that the world will die to see.
A lot of girls say that I'm a charmer, I'm good looking, and a good dancer. Isn't that what a girl looks for now a days. I would do anything for my girlfriend. But I can't prove it because I never had one.
She reminds me of my best friend back in the states. The freaky thing is they both like the same sport and have the same birthday. During prom, I tried making my move to h but all I did was gave her some flowers. My mouth was dry, hands shaking, hesitating while handing it to her, trying to say something but afraid to try and mess up the moment. Smiling at her, leaving feeling like I did it, and then regretting I didn't say anything to her. I tried inviting her to dance but most of the music they play at prom isn't really her taste of music. To be honest with you I don't really think she's that into me anyway. But you can't say that I didn't try. Maybe I was trying to hard, from the time I asked her to be my date for prom. Someone already asked but I didn't see anyone with her that entire time. All that I know is that I might still have a crush on her. Her name is Dakota.
She always has her best friend Ashley by her side. They always have every single period together. But since she will be staying another year and Ashley will be leaving to Colorado, I thought that will be the time to make my move. Unless she decides to leave with her. Which that would suck.
I just got the news that I have to stay until 10 grade because my dad wants to stay two more years. Well that's good because in the first year, I already have a lot of friends and in prom, they really like my dance skills. I'm pretty sure I'll get invited to another party, or maybe a lot of them! Besides, a lot of girls last year were asking me if I would dance for them. But I usually do it on special accessions such as parties, weddings, clubs, with the right kind of music, and people so I won't look like a fool dancing by myself.

My Best Writting of the Year.
I decided to rewrite my PSA on Cyberbullying. I thought what about bullying in general? I wanted to rewrite it because it is something important that happens in kids life's, why they are failing at school, depression, and why they should stop or not allow bullying! I also think I could improve on my writing with more feeling and details. I just don't want to say things to just stop it. I want them to make a change around the world, so they can feel how I feel it. So they will understand it better.

How hav I changed this year as a Learner.
This year was amazing! I've made new friends, learned new stuff, and tried my best until the grade that counts next year. Now I know new and great stuff I can use next year and cherish forever. I am a smart student, I just get a little lazy on turning in my assignments. But I know great ways for me to keep improving with today's technology.
I can also make projects with websites I didn't even know exsisted. Such as Prezi, Jellycam, Dropbox, etc. I can make my projects and presentations more interesting and share it with people I know.
Miss Shawntell Allen is probably one of the best English teachers I have had after moving from place to place. She has taught me how today's technology can help us in the future. She has helped me all the way and I just love being in her classroom. I can relax, read, study, and ask for her help. I have improved with using computers, iPads, group work, and a lot of hands on activities! She knows I am an artistic person, and the work I turn in at her class is a materpeice. Posters, Glogs, videos, Photography, you name it! The other websites she showed the class can also help us in other classes besides hers. She is an amazing teacher and a wizard at helping others! I would be failing without her and all my other teachers help! Thanks!

Real Learning is...
there are many way to learn but each and everyone of has has a diffrent way. Some may be normal and some may seem strange to other people but there are no wrong answers.
i learn in a "creative" way. I like to be creative with my work. In other works i like to make PowerPoints but i dont like it when it's boring and reaks of information and BLAH BLAH BLAH! I make mine with lots of color, pictures, frames, and maybe even animations.
Blogs also help me because if i make a mistake, it's an easy fix. I don't have to worry if i left my homework papers, or binder at home because it's easy to acsess on the computer and you can also costumize it the way you want maybe for the holidays or if it's your birthday or something and you don't have to worry about if your hand writing is ugly beacuse you can use your own font. And you can also add pictures straigh from the internet.
Learning can be fun but some people don't understand. If you learn the boring way than by all means learn the way you know and can.
