I don't have many attributes. Though the ones I do possess are very good ones. I am good at visual drawing. I'm what one would call a people person. I can be very passionate some of the time. I do my best to keep promises. When it comes to work I probably would be the hardest working.

When it comes to drawing I am really good. Not to toot my my own horn but, when I draw I'm pretty much inspired at my highest. I devote much time in it to make it look great. A lot of the time I'm basically a scanner. What I mean though is that I take one picture and transfer it onto paper by hand. I like realistic things like cars, buildings, people. Abstract really doesn't point out much of a idea to me. People like to stand around and watch me draw.

When it comes to people depending on how I'm feeling I like to talk, and hang out. I adore the elderly because they are so full of wisdom and wittiness. With my classmates I love joking around. It's something I never want to die out. I really can't stand to see people down, only because I know how it feels. I try to find ways to make them smile if they allow me. If not I let them cope.

I'm passionate about many things. Like family, and friends. I Love family and it's important to me because they are your first and last resort. No matter what they are behind you. Friends I like to have many friends from different backgrounds and styles. Sometimes I have to know how to let them all mix. If it was my way I would want everyone to get along but I know that won't happen. Some of my friends become so close they are like family. I call their parents my parents and vice versa.

Promises are many times is a difficult system. No ones perfect but I work to keep every promise I make. Sometimes I have to apologize for not keeping them but eventually they understand. Most of the time I achieve my goals of promise.

I work very hard. Sometimes I can be very much of a workaholic. It's not on purpose though. When something needs to get done I am the go to guy. I receive the instructions I get after it. When I get full speed ahead nothing gets in the way until I'm done. I have to say though once my focus is broken I often have difficulty getting back into swing

Over the years there have been a lot of inventions. Millions of inventions. But there is one that stands out. This invention combines a projector and mobile phone in one. There are 2 models that I know about which are the LG expo and the Samsung W7900.

These devices can pretty much be used in conferences to display a presentation as would a regular projector would. Use the pictures to present a slide show to your family and friends. The LG expo is more like a add on projector. On the projector side it can reach about 8 ft.

The Phone contains a PC interface. It runs on Windows 6.5. It does the same functions as a normal phone. Make calls, texting, e-mail. The is not so bad. By looking at it you would expect it to be around $500 but it's relatively inexpensive. anywhere from $300 to $500.

Overall this phone is pretty cool to me. Maybe one day I would be walking around with one.

What really antagonizes me is doing abstract art I don't understand the point. So does distracted drivers they don't see. Long lines at wal-mart not so fast check-out. Even people who don't understand bluetooth it's simple hands free.

Abstract art to me is pretty pointless. The picture is very unclear. I often find myself not seeing the meaning of what's being done. When I try to do abstract I pretty much get lost. I don't have patience for looking at it. It gives me the feeling of unreal life.

Distracted Drivers also wreck my nerves. They are basically driving blind. Distracted drivers cause many car crashes. resulting in injury, death, pile ups, and what many can't stand traffic jams. Distracted drivers don't see and end up hitting pedestrians.

Long Lines at Wal-mart are one my top main pet peeves. There are rarely enough registers open for a quick check out. I believe its a set-up to get you to get bored and look at more than what you came for. As soon as you spot it you want so you buy it.

One of the weirdest things is the people who don't understand bluetooth. Which is pretty simple to use. Put it in your ear and talk. It takes away the fact that you have to hold the phone to your ear. You basically go hands free. Which is sweet for if your doing a task that requires your hands.

This past time a lot has happened. I have made to my senior year. Reached the age of 18. Been able to stay out of trouble. Put a bigger focus on school. I'm thankful to have family and friends who care about me. Especially my mother, without her I probably wouldn't have made it this far. My friends without them I would have died of boredom. I'm really grateful for all my teachers.

I give thanks for making it to these crucial milestones. I've reached my final year of high school, after four years of vigorous work. I'm finally at the biggest checkpoint. One other milestone is I am now 18 which great because now I am an adult and have rights. It's also good because there are a lot of teens who don't get this far. So it means so much that I did. Plus I have been able to keep myself from getting into some trouble. Mainly by keeping a focus on the essentials, and keeping friends who are good and want to succeed at life.

I'm glad I have a family. There are there for me and support me. They also give me that push I need to keep going ahead. I love all my brothers and sisters and as all 11 of us I wouldn't trade for anything. For my mother we fight every once so often, but we manage to get along in the end. She has been able to be mommy and daddy to me. When I didn't have she would find a way so that I had. She may not be the best at times, but she's pretty good.

I happy to have a great line up of teachers this year. They work very hard so that learn and be ready for what's ahead. Because they are dedicated they give me the education I need to improve and grow. They are able to show and teach with what they are really passionate about. So thanks to them for putting in the time.

This past week we worked with i-movie to present a famous artist. Working with i-movie was new to me I wasn't to sure where to start. I should have took the time to go through the tutorial and followed instructions. Its a guy thing we can figure it out. For my artist I chose William Blake. I learned how to make pictures go in the direction I want. I also learned how to set titles, transitions, you know the basics. William Blake was famous for his spiritual art work as well as his poetry. A lot of people thought William to be insane. But in reality he just painted his dreams. William art made you want to try to figure out what is going on. It had so much movement and personality put into it.

My grandfather John D. Lawrence has the greatest influence on my life. My time with him was his last years of his life. He became so sick he had most of his bed bound until he had enough strength to go out. My grandpa J.D. was a very inspirational person. Also he was very wise, and caring. Much of my personality was molded from him. During his last years he taught me many lifelong lessons.

John Lawrence was a minister. He knew ways to reach out to people and catch there attention. He was a big part of church many people adored him. When you encountered his presence you were never left out no matter what was going on. When it came to church if you not able to make it he would come to you and give you the word. He was so inspirational when he talked. He would think of many different ways of seeing your views and his. Always on the positive side.

J.D. was also very wise. Every get stuck with an issue, he'll solve it. He would often have to figure out different ways of bringing the drama torn family back together. He knew how to instill discipline in you if need be a.k.a "the switch". And for some odd reason he knew how to bring out the best in others. Being around him brought security and safe haven from the depressors.

To My Grandfather John D. Lawrence because of you I am the man that stands before the world today.

When we take a look at the economy now it is horrific. Many people are losing their jobs. Others not being able to move up in the world. Some aren't able to find income. The economy has affected me in several different ways. It has increased the bills, takes it longer to get a raise, and hours at work have become scarce.

The economy has put more stress on bills at home. Mainly because my mom is unable to work due to injuries. since she is unable to work any income that comes in goes to the bills. A lot of times I have to help pay them off. Which in turns forces some sacrifices to be made. making me an unhappy camper.

At work it has become harder to get a raise. My raises come every 6 months. Now the economy is so bad my raises take a longer period to come. My employer looks to save more money. They drop pay according to if you are full-time or part-time. It's even bigger when it comes to how many hours there are available to work. It's a pain to pick up extra hours only for the reason that corporate wanted to have some cut backs. The only way to get more hours if someone goes on a leave or vacation.
