WELCOME BACK!!!!

The beautiful scenery captured in this photo really caught my eye. The hue of the clouds mixed with the blue sky really contrasts with the color of the mountains and the trees. I like how the scene reflects off the water and creates a mirror effect. The quiet and stillness of the photo really contributes to its overall beauty. In one word I would describe this photo as tranquil.

I love this photo because the photographer did a good job at making you feel like you're the one riding the sled. He created a motion blur which makes it look like you are actually rushing through the forest. Then he used the sled, dogs, and trees to create depth and make it look like you're heading somewhere far away. I get a positive connotation from this photo of joy and happiness.

This photo is very extraordinary. The facial expressions captured on everyone's face is very humorous. It surprises me how the photographer had the nerve to take this photo because if I was in this situation, I would be paralyzed in fear. I continue to wonder how and why this polar bear was inside of a London train station.


Best of 2015

A ton of people may disagree but the best song of 2015 was What Do You Mean by Justin Bieber. Justin mad very poor decisions from the previous year which led him to an extreme downfall in society. Many people saw him as a delinquent and that was a hard reputation to shake. Justin proved them wrong and made a huge come back during the fall of 2015. What Do You Mean was just one of his many new songs but I like it the most because it has a unique sound and is sung by an AMAZING person.

Not very many memorable movies came out in 2015 but the best one in my opinion was Inside Out. It rated number two on the top 100 movies of 2015 with about 301 million views. Inside Out had a very cute and unique way of showing how your brain functions and the reasons why you do and feel things. All though the ending wasn't great, the movie had a great plot.

The most important news story in 2015 was the series of terrorist attacks in Paris. The attacks took place in public locations, a very popular restaurant, a large stadium where a soccer game was taking place, and a theater containing over one thousand people for a concert. Unfortunately 130 people were killed and several injured. People around the world mourned over this tragic event and showed their support for Paris.

The most important person of 2015 was the black lives matter activists. They brought attention to a serious problem that had been taking place through out the year. Blacks were being treated in an unfair manner, especially by white cops. Many were getting punishment for the wrong reasons, some were shot and even a young boy was killed. The activists created necessary revolts and made major news.

The biggest entertainment story of 2015 was the crazy screw up at the Miss Universe pageant. The host, Steve Harvey, mistakenly announced the first runner up as the winner. After Miss Colombia accepted her crown, she was forced to give it up for the real winner, Miss Philippians. This event was not only embarrassing to Miss Colombia but to Steve Harvey as well. This televised event had people shocked around the world.


My Winter Break
1. This winter break I had an unforgettable trip with my best friend, Katherine. We performed during halftime at the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio! We had a week full of dancing and enjoying the city. It was great experience, definitely one to remember.

2. This year I would like to maintain a high GPA and stop procrastinating with all of my homework. I often found myself in stressful situations that could've been easily prevented so this year I hope to not make these same mistakes. I would also like to continue improving in dance, there's always something new to learn or something to better myself at and I know hard work is the way to go.

3. This year I am looking forward to my summer vacation. I am going to a camp with my church that is going to be held in Colorado. I've always wanted to go to Colorado because in my opinion it's such a quality state and looks beautiful year round. In addition, I look forward to my sophomore year because I will officially be a Silver Star! I hope 2016 will be as good or even better than last year.
