Who Inspires Me

Dude my mom’s amazing! She’s hard-working, kind, and hilarious. She makes me strive to be a better person everyday.

Friends and Family

Three of my friends! At the Beach Chalet in San Francisco.

Sophomore year of high school, I felt like I didn’t have friends. I started growing apart from my friends from middle school. I didn’t feel like I belonged there anymore, and I was really sad. I felt really alone. After months of feeling alone and disconnected, I met Leigh Ann (center) on the JV School Soccer team. Our first conversation was a debate on how to make the perfect grilled cheese, and for the first time in a while, I felt like I had a friend again. This is not to say I don’t like my old friends. I love them more than anything! But it was an important lesson for me to learn that it’s ok to leave friends if it’s what’s best for you.

My Habits

My sister and I at MVHS Graduation in 2018

I have a really bad habit of comparing myself to my sister. I used to get really jealous of her success, and feel as if I could never live up to her success. I’m better now though, I’ve realized we’re two different people with different strengths and weaknesses. Comparing my life to her’s doesn’t do anything but make me stressed.

Symmetry

My face in three different ways; symmetrical to the right, left, and normal
My face.

This week, we had to use Photoshop to make our faces symmetrical. It required a lot of clipping masks and errors on my part. I’m no the best when it comes to technology.

My Culture

My culture includes American and Welsh. When visiting Wales, I enjoy visiting the crumbling castles.

Our weekly photo challenge for this week was to take a photo about our culture. I decided to use a photo I took when visiting family in Wales last summer. One thing about Wales that’s different from America is that there are old castles everywhere. This is Castell Carreg Cennen in Trapp, Llandeilo.
