I didn't know my own strength - Whitney Houston

As we all know Whitney Houston was a legend and still remains one till this day. It was tough picking a song by her because every single one of her songs is out of this world. She is talented beyond measure and she sings with such passion and makes it look so effortless. I picked this particular song because it relates to my current situation and a lot of my fellow students/peers. I say this because as first-year college students, we are taking a leap of faith and trusting ourselves to be responsible enough to achieve our dreams and make sure we still have the best four years of our lives. I'll be honest, it can be daunting at times because being away from home can truly test ones integrity and resilience. When something gets tough we truly have to deal with it ourselves, we can call our parents but they can only do so much. The lyrics go a little like this "Survived my darkest hour My faith kept me alive I picked myself back up Hold my head up high I was not built to break I didn't know my own strength", this speaks so well to our situation. Even if I haven't been through any rough patches yet, we certainly will in the future, near or far. We're considered adults now so there are obstacles we eventually will face and we are held accountable for our actions. If you don't know this song or Whitney Houston, I strongly suggest you check her and her music out! 

 P. S. YOU WERE NOT BUILT TO BREAK!

Final Video!

This video encapsulates some of the most important people in my life, obviously, a lot of people who I hold dear to my heart aren't included unfortunately because I don't have good pictures with them. This was a grueling yet heartwarming process for me because it brought joy to my heart and reminded how incredibly important it is to have people, even a few who really love you. I enjoyed this class, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be creative and to be me! https://youtu.be/dRWliQRjJvg

21st century technology

I think a technological advance in the 21 st century has to be the camera. We have always had cameras back in the day but as the decades and years go by many advances are made. We’ve gone from the pinhole   Camera in the 1500s to t he Daguerreotype   Camera in 1839 to the  Reise   Camera in 1900 to the Leica I in 1925to the Polaroid Model 95 in 1947 to the Kodak Digital   Camera in 1975 to the Fuji Quick Snap-in 1986   to the Sharp J-SH04 in 2000 to the Apple iPhone in 2007 to the GoPro HD Hero 2008.  We have evolved so much throughout the years and in the next few years, I see a major difference in the functions provided by a future camera. The pinhole was one of the first known cameras invented and people could only see the picture upside down, it took a lot of heads and years to create what we have today and I in this time and age wouldn’t be able to tell you what the future holds in the case of cameras.  I know for a fact the quality ...

What if the world were a simulation?

This is an odd question. What if or is the world a simulation?? I don't think the world is a simulation at all. I think we control our own movements and behavior and this all isn't some kind of game. Now if the world were a simulation, that'd be very creepy in my opinion. The idea of someone/something controlling me and dictating my every move doesn't sit right with me. I understand all the robots and new technologies arising but it still isn't factual to believe that the world is simulated. In the future, we as humans may be overthrown by robots and new technology that WE have created. I think that we have gone so deep in this thing called technology that we have to keep going, there's no going back now.
