Pollution

http://www.naturalnews.com/001698_oceans_pollution_blue_movement.html

This article that I found talks about a group called the Seaweed Rebels that is working to help stop pollution by mankind. This article points out a couple of the many things humans do to destroy our ocean and other body's of water on earth. The issue in this article is we are effecting the water creatures communication with sound pollution by the navy. The bigger issue in this article is a lot of pollution is created by mankind and a lot of it can be minimized or even stopped. that's if people like seaweed rebels work to find solution to this over all problem. To find more info on this topic you can google water pollution or get hands on and test water and find what is in the water and try to trace it back to where the pollution is coming from to take action.
This being said it connects to our class because that's what we are doing we are taking water samples and observing and testing it to find what is in the water. I would say it ties in to media saves the beach in a huge way because it points out some of the key problems for you already and now you have an idea of what your looking for or what might be creating the problem.

Final Piece

The Way It Is

 "The past should stay in the past ". That's what Keyshia Cole lived by. She didn't let her past destroy her future. Your past can sometimes follow you but it’s up to each individual to determine if they’re going to let there past control their future. I decided that I was not going to let my past determine where I was going in life when I moved to San Diego.

San Diego opened many doors for me. I know now that I have been given the opportunity to change this harsh cycle of people not succeeding in my family. I need my past to make me stronger not weaken me I know this is up to me to change. I want to look at my family and the mistakes they have made to make sure I don't make them. "What won’t kill you will make you stronger" keyshia Cole didn't let anything hold her back. She had a choice she could have followed her mom on a path of drugs and negativity but she looked ahead. That’s what I’m doing. I have taken what I know and I will make the best out of what I was given to work with. Education is important to me because many of my family members never took advantage of school. I have made a decision to finish high school and further my education in college. This is first of many steps to change my family. The thing that is admirable about Keyshia Cole is even when she made it big she didn't forget about her family or where she came from. She helped them to achieve their dreams she gave them hope. I hope that I can be an inspiration to further generations of my family to do well and follow their dreams.

Not only has Keyshia Cole inspired me to continue my steps to change but she has influenced me to not only think about how can I help myself or my family but how can I change someone else's life while following my own dreams. She continues to go back to her community to talk to the young people. Even though I don't plan on speaking to my old community. I do plan to give back to the community in another form like community service.

If you can imagine it you can create it. If you can dream it you can be it. Said by Ward William Arthur. Stay determined and don't let anyone tell you, you can't do something and you will succeed in what ever your heart desires.

Reflection

during this project i discovered that i do a lot of the things that we should avoid in writing like ings.I'm also not very good with punctuation. As we learned more about writing through out the project i noticed a improvement in my writing i started to fix my old habits. one writing technique that i used was the loop or intros and outros.. this helped me to organize my writing and helped me to make sure my ending was strong and left the readers thinking. the effect that it had on my writing was it seemed more professional not so much like an amateur writing piece. if i had one more draft i would work more on the supporting paragraphs because i felt they could have been stronger and i could have added more detail. If you can imagine it you can create it. If you can dream it you can be it. Said by Ward William Arthur. Stay determined and don't let anyone tell you, you can't do something and you will succeed in what ever your heart desires. i feel like this is the strongest part of my writing because not only does it rap up my whole idea but it leaves the reading thinking about what this quote means and how can they apply it to there own life.

the way that i took this picture doesn't really allow me to make it how wide it needs to be because i took the picture with the camera to the side so it only allows me to make it really long what should i do?

feedback

today I have received some pretty good feedback. the feedback was organize your family history and keyshia cole better because it was confusing to the reader and they gave me an example like when i talk about my family relate it back to the icon in some way.

Your past can sometimes follow you but its up to each individual to determine if their going to let there past control their future.

texture: this makes the image more real and in the image im doing i have like a brick wall behind me so i probably want some texture.

focus: Ithink this well be good for my image because i need to stand out from everything so the focus need to be on me and not like in the back ground plus i think every image needs a main focus.

contrast: I want to use contrast to make sure all my colors are standing out. this just shows all the strong colors that come out when putting these colors together.

American Icon

Keyshia Cole represents determination and strength. She has over came the odds of someone born in the streets of Oakland. Instead of turning to drugs or following the foot steps of her mom. Her persistence to fight for her dreams brought her to were she is today. Keyshia Cole is looked up to for being real and bringing hope to people who have less opportunities. The lyrics in her songs reach out to a wide variety of people. If she didn't really go through everything she talks about it would take away from her music, this is the real that a lot of people connect with . Keyshia Cole has a powerful voice that gets her message across. She never forgot where she came from and still goes back to speak to the young people in her community. This is something that is really important to her because she understands a lot of there story's and she wants to let them know that they just have to fight and don't let anyone tell you, you cant do something.

her story really inspires me because I was born in Oakland. Even though I moved to San Diego at a young age a lot of my family lives there and a lot of the issues my family dealt with in Oakland still followed me. Even more than this she is someone who came from nothing and worked her way to the top. Her show "the way it is " was the number one viewed show on bet history. Her show is real and inspirational i suggest checking it out.


Oprah represents a powerful intelligent women . She has a powerful presents and when she speaks people listen. whats really important to Oprah is bettering peoples lives. On her talk show the "Oprah show "she brings people from all walks of life to share their story. Some sad some inspirational the one thing those people will walk off the stage with is something that will better there life maybe a quote, money,job etc. When she has one of her shows she not only impacting the person on stages life but the audience as well. This is what truly inspires me that she changes so many peoples lives within a hour segment. I believe it is an inexplicable reward for a person to know that they are changing someones life for the better. Something that you will notice reading this blog is all of these people I will write about have came from nothing meaning they weren't born in to money,and their rich and famous lives were not handed to them. they didn't have a lot of support but they all made it to the top. They all had the determination and self confidants to fight for what they wanted.


actor/producer Tyler perry has a truly inspirational story. He represents a survivor. He went from homeless to the big screen. The truly inspirational part is how he did it. He wanted to write his own scripted and act in it too. He tried to find someone to produce it but everyone would turn him down. They would either want to change a lot in his scripted or they would say no one wants to watch a Christan movie. This is when he decided he was going to do it him self. Long story short his first film was sold out and had high ratings. In his comedy there is always a bigger picture. its not just another comedy it always has meaning. Not only has he made a numerous amount of films, he also has a TV show. Even more then that he wanted to take it to the next level so he bought and made his own studio making him the first black man to own his own filming studio.



What inspired me about him is one he came from nothing but even though he knew what he wanted to do and he wasn't going to let those big time producers stop him. It inspired me that after he was already on a role with his movies and acting career he didn't stop there. He took his talent to the next level and bought his own studio. the studio is in ATL if you ever want to check it out.
