I want to publish my first article that talks about me graduating from school with debt free. I know school is expensive with classes and books but there are some ways where i would love to show future students how they can be debt free from  college.  First of all, there are some teachers who require a lot of books in which you can find those books in a public library.  And maybe you can rent those books on amazon or other websites like Chegg and more. Now for classes, the classes are expensive and applying for scholarships, Financial Aid is the big help to pay for classes. Being the first generation son to graduate and write about the steps that i took to be a debt free student is a great feeling.

this is what i do

I love writing stories with a bunch of characters and it so much doing it. I have been reading three books from different authors and those stories are very so much fun to read because of they all relatable. I fell that I can relate to what the author is trying to say to me. the first book I read was O Pioneers written by Willa Cather  and the story was about how she become a prosperous woman in her land because she worked hard. Despite what life threw at her she stood up, and make the right decisions. The author di a wonderful job at conveying her message about what it is like to live the American dream. As long as that you work hard, you can dream about reaching your American Dream. The second book I read was called Sula was written by Toni Morrison, and the story was about how black women were perceived and treated during this era. An era where black  women did not go to  school but rather to go dancing and have intimacy. But what this book taught me was that as long as you made sacrifices and do something  good for someone then karma will reward you. I think…

The last book I read was a memoir written by Tobias Wolff and it is called This boy’s life. This memoir basically focused on the author’s childhood, and it tells that he had a hard life with his mother. And also that his father in law was somewhat harsh on him to. He abused him by giving a load of chores and compel him to join the Boy Scouts.

But despite all of this, he got up because he is not a quitter. He perseveres and got himself out of this dilemma and become a better version of himself.

I got a cool idea for an app

A lot of people are using dating apps and websites these days and it is not really easy for people to find their soulmates just by swiping to the left or super liking the person.  So i got this great idea that was literally flying to my mind and so i had to share it. And maybe it is a great idea i think. Anyway, back to the developing dating app. Now everyone wants to date someone that is close by or for that someone to live in the same town as he or she lives in. What if a person can go on a date based on his or her routine of the day. Meaning that if someone is working and do not have time to go on date because of his or her crazy schedule. Maybe that person can go on a date when he or she is at work. The app would have many features and one would be for the person to be able to go on a date. The person would have to be an employee there for you to date (meaning no outsiders can try to chat with you, and that  is safe for you to share where you work in your profile) The app would also have feature where you could go on date during the time when that person is on break. So it is great to go and talk with that person in person. And i know it is weird for someone to just come or creep when you are eating lunch, but the feature of the app, the person who is taking a break during lunch have to agree to meet with you which can be safer for both of them when they are meeting each other.  I love this idea. Hope i get to develop this app.

I am addicted to you

People have been using the filter of Snapchat to decorate their pictures. In the filter, there are many things that you can do. The app allows you to choose any filter animals to decorate your picture, and it can also provide you with an altered voice which is so fun to do. The app is amazing and people love to decorate their pictures with filters of animals of dogs,  there is something that is called face swap and i think you can swap your face with someone, or anything such as bread, weird shape and even a famous person. This app is really getting cool because its users are using this new update. And i think it is an amazing new way to look at those pictures in a way an artist would examine a piece of art because this is a media art and people are getting popular and likes because of the way they decorate their picture.  And since this app have been updated it, people use it a lot and share those pictures with their friends, family and their boyfriends/girlfriends. They even use it in their dating profiles just to get more attention from their opponent. And it works, because when looking at those filter pictures they are so mesmerizing and full of glitter of joy and flowers. The filters help bring out the person’s personality and it make them look handsome and pretty.  Taking a picture is an art, and by adding some new cool features in your pictures are what made them popular and call modern art of social media.

A new era of art

Everywhere we go and everything we do is art. And we might not even be aware of the things that we do is actually art. When we wake up and look up the sky and see the clouds in a weird shape we think of it as art even though we did not do it or understand how it shapes by itself. But when we do the art with some of our things like tabs, or straw or anything that we to make art it is considered as a great thing because we take something to produce a new thing. And social media play a big part of it because we share our arts with friends, family.

In addition, media helps the artists to exposed their work and be popular and people get to enjoy the artists’ work and give them feedback also. Whenever people need advice they go online and ask for others’ opinion because their opinion matters in which some of them may have the same experiences as the artists who is asking for help.

media, advertisements, museums, they are all part of this new era of art because they are trying to promote the artists’ work.

Art and media are two things that help us see the world in a different way because modern media defines this society that we living in. And since it is everywhere, we use it as an advantage to our purpose to share our work art throughout the world.

I have always wanted to learn to play the piano, or a violin but I never got to. Well, to be honest, I think that I do not have money to pay the teacher or so. yeah, so I guess I can talk about how piano and violins are made. I do know that there are made out of wood, but the question is what kind of wood are they made of? The piano is made of sugar pine back in the days, but nowadays they are made of spruce or basswood. Spruce is used in a high quality piano. Who knew! It is the same thing for violins they are made of spruce and basswood; however,  the fingerboard of a violin is ebony.

Photography is the next big thing

Photography is really the best new thing because in the photos you can see the image better and simpler. When photographers take picture they also capture the right moment of what the picture is saying. For instance, if a photographer is taking a picture of a lion he will take the picture while he the lion is awake because the photographer wants to capture the lion’s eyes. Now here is the cool part, the photographer might not use the whole background but part of it, so the photographer can enhance the picture and focus on the lion’s eyes. next, the photographer is applying great feature that can help bring out the lion’s eyes and i think that is it. An expert photographer who knows how to capture the moment can literally change the way you see things because his or her picture will tell you something such as WOW!!!!!!

there are plenty great artists out there, and it can be from being a singer or a person who loves doing vines. Vines has been something that has been trending for the past years, and it allows the actors from vines to have fun, be themselves to make their audience laugh. Meanwhile, some have their story focus on the love relationship, how both genders can cheat on one another and bring wit in it. A lot of them in vine tend to bring great soundtrack and amazing story lines which are incredible to watch and listen to. They have great opportunities just like famous actors and singers to play in movies, tv shows. And I bet they get to meet their favorite ones too. I think vines are important because it is a limited short video film that is less than ten seconds in which the person had to tell his or her story. And it is so hard to tell a funny story just in that limited of time but they make it work, and i think it is genius of them to do such an amazing work.
