Drawing Talent

I'm very talented at drawing. I believe I learned how to draw on my own, with some help from my Mother, who also knows how to draw, and a family friend who always did portraits for people. I took two drawing classes, one in the 8th grade, and my teacher thought my work was amazing so she placed me in several competitions to compete against people across the world! I also took a drawing class, my senior year of high school. My teacher wanted me to be in her advanced class, but I did not want to do it! Because the funniest thing with me being talented at drawing, I DO NOT enjoy drawing, whats so ever! It can bring me at ease, and keep me calm, but if I'm not asked to draw something, I won't do it, unless I'm really bored.

Giving advice and being there for others.

One thing I’m mostly passionate about would be being there for others and hepling them. For instance, whenever I see my friends or a close relative feeling down or gloomy I would take my time to talk to them about their problems and make sure they let it all out. From people hold things in results in having an affect in their self-esteem and adding more stress in their lives. Another way I like helping people is by giving them great advice. For example, in 2011 one of my friends was taken advantage of her friends she would hang out with and make fun of her so I helped her stood up for them. I knew a close friend who her boyfriend was mistreating her even while she was pregnant and would constantly go back and due to that, I adviced her to value herself and go on for her child and herself. I’ve been there with her through thick and thin. I even affford her a place to stay with her and her baby whenever she needs. Also, I volunteer at fundraisers, school activies and also participate at blood drives.

Painting on Canvas

Something I love to do in my free times is painting. It's been months since I've had time to paint but it's something I love to do. In my free time, I spend the day painting in my canvas and listening to music; therefore, I have been really busy in school and in other daily activities. If I have time in the near future, I start planning ahead of time. I have painted only three times in a canvas. Last month an artist in San Pedro liked my painting and as a result he told me to show him my other paintings I've made. The painting im most proud of is this one -

basketball life

basketball has been a sport that ive always loved as a kid. mostly because my older brother and i would always watch the Laker games on T.V. another thing i would do with my brother is go to the park and play with random people, i wasn't really good at playing but i sure did no the game. one day i thought to myself that if i knew the rules to the game than i should practice over and over again until i get really good at it. ever since i got older ive been playing in many teams and have been winning many games and trophies as well but sadly ive lost some games too. all i like to say is that i love basketball so much, its my passion to be on the court and just having the chance to dribble the ball and also hearing the net swish every time i make a three pointer is the best feeling of all!.

Bachata life

Dancing is life to me. I love to fe dance any type of music but especial bachata. Since I was a little girl I would always dance .Bachata would always catch my attention, when I would see family members dance. Reasons why I like it is because, your body takes control in movements with a partner. Your hips and body is the key. In order to dance it good you have to have passion .Effects of it is many people thing bachata is just moving side to side and you know how do dance it noooo, that’s just the simples way .

Musical Theatre is something I love to do.

Musical theatre is what I loved to do. To begin with i need to know the elements that make up the musical theatre. Musical Theatre is different from acting. For example acting consist of comedy, drama, and love story.However in musical theatre it requires acting, dancing, and singing. In addition I need to attend singing and dancing lesson which I need to pay for it. To be specific I need to audition for the play and need to pass it. As soon as i passed the test I need to attend all the practice. And finally the play starts and audience like it. Therefore all the hard work I spent paid off really well. I love Msical Theatre because it encourages me to work hard knowing that many will like it and support me.

MY PASSION Date: 11-06-13 I play football because I just simply love the sport. I love the smell of the fresh grass every time I step in the field. Once I get in the lockers my civilian clothes go off and my uniform follow with my football gear goes on. It just excites me knowing that I have a game, and knowing that I’m going to get some tackles. I love playing as a lineman because it’s one of the hardest positions. I love the challenge this position brings me. For example you have to block and drop players that weight up to 300 pounds, and in order to do that you have to be physically and mentally strong. Football is like life, it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.

What I Love To Do

What I Love To Do. No matter how busy my day gets I can never go a day without taking my three dogs out on a walk. When I come home from a busy day at school or a ruff day at work I can always rely on my dogs cheering me up no matter the situation. A dogs love is unconditional. Their love keeps me sane I can always rely on them to help cheer me up. They might just be dogs but they know exactly what to do and when to do it to change your mood and make me feel complete. Walking my dogs out not only relives my stress but it also makes me enjoy mother nature. If it wasn’t for me taking my dogs out when I can I don’t think id enjoy the view of mother nature as much as I do when I take them out for a stroll. It’s a peaceful thing to do when your day is about to end.

What I love to do....... What I love to do is clean my house. To many this might the worst thing to do but I in the other hand I like to clean. I like the feeling of seeing my house clean. I like people to complementing me and tell me that my room is clean. What I clean mostly everyday is my makeup section. I take a lot of pride and joy on my makeup and I always want it to look clean. I like to clean because for me is a stressreliever. It is also a way to waste my time. If you you want to waste time all you need to do is put some music on and just start cleaning and you will be surprise how fast time goes by when your are cleaning. I love to clean because it is something that I was thought when I was smaller and it something that stuck with me. I think that the main reason that I just enjoy cleaning is because back then my family and I would clean as a family and we will all do individual chores so it won't be to much on my mom so that made it easy for everyone.

Running gives me peace

Running has always been a big part of my life ever since I was a young girl. Both of my parents were very active in sports growing up, and because of them so was I. When I was a little girl I played soccer from the age on 5 until highschool. you have to be physically fit to be able to run up and down the field. You have to be able to run and not get tired. Since Ive played soccer running has became a second nature and my number one passion in life. Not only is it a passion it is a talent. Now that Im in my 20s it has been a challenge for me to stay fit. Running helps me achieve a healthy physique. Not only is it good for me, it releases stress. Anytime I feel down I go for a jog and after i will instantly feel better. Before a jog I stretch so that wont injure myself. Scond i make sure that i am properly hydrated and most importantly i never leave the house without my ipod and earphones. When i listen to my running playlist i feel like i can just keep going and never stop! Running gives me strength to go through my day and relieves any stress that i am feeling.

My passion on Zumba

In addition to dancing, I have always love to dance to any type of latin music. But ever since I join in Zumba, there has a passionate on Zumba. Zumba is an aerobic fitness featuring movements insprired by various styles of Latin American dance and primarily to Latin American dance music. In fact, this workout helps you lose weight and get a better self esteem on yourself, it changes you in person by thinking positively on things like eating good and healthy food. For example, every time I come home from school stress out I always tend to go to zumba  so it come make me feel better. But even though I'm not stress I still tend to go to Zumba because it makes me a better person, also because I have always love dancing since  I was a little girl. As a matter of fact, I think dancing has always been in my blood, because I have always had a passion on dancing

what i love to do.

What I love to do is paint, when I am painting I feel very passionate and calm for example when I feel stressed out or I'm in a bad mood I can always turn to painting and know that at least for that moment, I don't need to worry about my problems all i need is my brush and colors. While I paint there is a part of me that drift off into another world where everything is okay. After i feel that I'm done with whatever i am painting i feel proud and connected to my paintings my work..=]  I've never took any art classes before, because I don't like to be graded or judged on my art. I feel that i paint for myself, i  would never want to be graded for the reason that i would feel very disappointed in myself if i got a bad graded in something at i poured my heart out on. I just love painting, i'm passionate about and that's what i love to do.   

Coconut Cake

Coconut cakes are not hard to do here are some steps on how to do it. First of all you will need 3 cups of flower poured into a bowl mixed with baking powder following with salt.

Last of all bake in greased pans at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes and eventually your coconut cake will be done. Immediately after its done let it cool down for about 20 minutes, and as soon as it's not hot you may put frosting on it. Now your cake is ready to eat.

Art is my Passion

Talent is something you have innately. It doesn't make sense to say "I have become more talented." skills on the other can be developed. I can become more skilled. I would say that any artist no matter who they are, but it about passion of the art and what skilled i have, not talented. No artist starts out as a kindergartner painting masterpieces. Everyone starts at the same level as mine. I have to work my butts off to create the work my create. I do drawing everyday, i study, i read books, i go to the art museums, i am listening to critique, the practice, practice, and practice. Something on my mind say "I don't have talent" is the excuse give when i don't want to work hard at something. Some argue that while art is mostly a skill, there is some degree of talent involved. Some people's brains just work in a way that makes them more apt to perform certain tasks. This is i accept, but i think that the difference that talent makes is negligible. I'm sure there are people out there that would have talent in art if tried hard to develop that skill, but because they don't work at it their talent can't complete with the skills of less talented people that work their butts off. This art is about how much mean to me because of my personality, good artist, expose myself to lots of techniques, styles, and medium. i am enjoy to do arts just for fun. Talent is meaningless without skill.

Animal Lover

My passion for animals is almost greater than anything else. I love to learn about animals so in the future, I can rescue as many animals as I can. Because of humans, there are thousands if not millions of animals dying everyday from pollution such as oil spills, and the need of trees which are cut from forests, ruining homes of many. Right now, I am taking zoology and learning about the functions and relations of each animal is so interesting. My dream is to become a wild life rescuer and end animal cruelty such as testing on animals for different products and unnecessary torture in slaughter houses. It is devastating to see that people can be so insensitive and heartless to these helpless animals. All I want to do is make people understand how precious these animal's lives are and we need to keep them alive on this planet as long as possible.

Future Registered Nurse(R.N)

My zeal has turned into my dream career which is to become a R.N. Something that I have always loved to do is take care of others when they are in need, hurt, or need medical assitance. When I was a little girl, I have always been caring about others and have always put others before myself. What I love about nurses is that they are willing to help others and care for them in a way that will help them feel secure and safe. Being who I am is just one step closer to my dream because I know in order to become a nurse I will have to sacrifice many hours of my time to do my job. The one thing I love about nurses and that I have respect for is there dedication, leadership, involvement, committment, loving what they do, giving there time to the community, and being hard-workers. I have always been shy since I was little girl but now that I've grown up and seen the world in a different way, I know that I can help others in a different kind of way when I become a nurse. It feels really nice knowing that my future career will involve me in helping others. Nurses don't just care for themselves or how much they get paid, they dedicate there time and effort into helping people get better, recovery, or even feel better about themselves.

Passion for helping others.

Ever since I was young, I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I was always "the problem solver." From conflicts on the playground, to arguments between my parents, I was always in the middle trying to make everyone happy. When I got older I realized that I could dedicate my life to doing what I loved, which was helping those in need or in tough situations. Whenever I can help someone, I will. And if you know me, you know that's what I'm about. Whether it's giving someone advice, giving them a place to stay, or simply helping them through a tough time, I will always do what I can to help. It genuinely gives me a feeling of happiness deep inside myself knowing I made a difference in someone's life. There are truly no words to describe the great feeling you get knowing you're doing a good deed. That is how I know this is what I am most passionate about in my life, and what I want to do. I've been told many times that I'm good at what I love doing and to pursue it, and that is exactly what I am going to do. I hope to do big things in the future and make a difference in many lives.

ART IS MY DRUG

Art is essential to life as to me. I love to draw and paint on paper, walls, and on other surfaces which I can write on. Drugs, music, friends, family, other artists and artists artwork leads to exploring more about art. The effect led me to be the artist that I am now and the style I have. Practicing my art and ways how to improve it, gave me a style that's different from others. For graffiti, first I sketch my letters and character to see what I'm going to do next. Second, I start to fill in with colors of my choice. Third, I outline my colors with another color and add shadow or glare to make it stand out. Last, I give it a background and sign my name and leave the scene. In art class on the other hand I drew pictures of Malcolm X and my nephew, Christian. I still draw people but its very rare that I do because I wasn't really good at it. But one day I will and use graffiti style to make my master piece.

       

Married to the Game

The game that I play is one of the greatest in the world (to me at least). Its my love, my passion, and my everything. When I first held a tennis racquet, I wasn't to sure about the sport but I was a natural. So as time went on I kept on playing and loved tennis. At the age of eight is when we got married and ever since then we've been attached. Where ever I go my racquets are there with me. No matter what I'm always ready to play; whether if I'm competing or just playing for fun, nothing will stop me. Except the rain. Til this day I play at least four times a week and hope to continue until I'm an old lady. I am married to the game and can't survive without it.

My Life through a Camera Lens

To begin with, my name is Daniel Alvarado. One thing that I enjoy to do on my spare time is taking pictures of random things and creating unique, one of a kind works. I love going around taking pictures whether if its just simple things such as; sunsets, flowers, etc. Taking pictures is a way of expressing a way that a person can feel emotionally and or physically. In addiction to showing certain ways people can feel, we can also conclude that the way a photographer takes pictures, is the way they feel as well. Whether a person is feeling depressed or happy, taking pictures of a variety of things can help a person feel relaxed and calm.
