What are your hobbies and extra curricular activities? Where do you spend your free time? Tell me three of your favorite things (movies, TV show, magazine, sport, color, etc.) Outside of school I play a lot of soccer. Usually my team travels at least once a month so I don't really have that much free time. I also do a little bit of modeling outside of school and I really enjoy doing that! I think it's really fun to try on new clothes and get my picture taken. I also really enjoy going shopping on my free days and trying to find new styles. Someday when I grow up my dream job is to be around the modeling and fashion industry somehow. My three favorite things are soccer, Nebraska, and fashion.

Who Am I Presentation

August 28th, 2013

What are some qualities of a good presentation? How can you make a boring presentation interesting? Explain. A good presentation requires a person's full attention towards the topic of the subject. If they're intrigued by the topic then they should make you feel like you should be intrigued too. You can make a boring presentation more fun by adding a personal experience along with your speech or show. A lot of times I feel more engaged when I can personally connect with something in the presentation's of others. An example of this is when I'm in church, I like to pick out things that the priest says and connect them back to my own life. Another good quality of a presentation is keeping things as short as possible and to the point. A lot of times people drag things on and repeat things that don't need to be repeated. This loses people's interest and attention. Keep your presentations connectable, short, and sweet.

"Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it." I agree with this statement because anything you post on the internet is technically for anyone to see. If you're posting something you should realize that anyone else in the world can see it if they have the right accessibility or tools. Many people don't realize that what the post can be used by anyone else who wants to use it. As soon as people start realizing that it's not okay to post everything to the internet, the safer it will be.

What is the importance of online safety and protecting your information? What do you do to protect yourself online? Share an experience you or someone you know has had with online safety. Online safety is important because you want to protect what's rightfully your's. If someone else has access to your things online then you have no idea what they could do with it. Even if they're very close to you, something can happen even by complete accident and it could hurt you. You can protect yourself online by creating a strong password and making sure that you are the only person that has that password. I know that one of my friends had a problem with her password where people were getting on her twitter account from several different locations and she ended up having to change a lot of her passwords just to be safe. The reason behind the hacking was because her password just wasn't strong enough. So even though you think you might not need a hard password, sometimes it really matters.

"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use." This quote really inspires me to want to live life to the fullest and become a better person in general. Not just towards the people I already know, but all the people that I'm going to meet in the future. I love the fact that he mentions that no one is smarter than you because it's the truth. No one is really smarter than you, people just have different perceptions in their own lives. Every person is unique from the person next to them, and that's what makes the world different. You build your own world though, don't let anyone else change how you live your life.
