Google Earth

This project has not yet made me happy to be working on it. I personally don;t find (yet) the purpose. Even though I'm open to learn about it i wish it was more accurarte the satelite visiona nd more flowing when it changes locations. Today I had the esxperince to observe my classmates tours. I first looked at Pacos. His was very intresting and the places were unusual. I think to improve he could either make more specific points like the places where he's stayong in every place and things like that. I realized he had descriptions for every place. That was a really good thing because I could undersatnd what he wanted to do. The imgaes , though, took very long to charge and to get moving and load. I think it should be faster and the changes slower. Next project I saw was PP. He ahd like Paco a really good trip. His images were m oved and you could see he moved them with the mouse and not clicking in the links. More description and less stoping and moving around in such weird movements would be way better. Also I think that the image qualitty was really abd evern if you can egt close to the house it loads very slow and it becaomes boaring to look at the projects. The last one I saw was Feris. She did it about her summer it was really cool and it was very detail of every palce she went. She should have added a little more detail and information to complete the assignement way better. Same problem but less notuicable in this one anout the image quality.\

In my project I would add m more detail and notes in th weplaces. The image quality I had was bad but I think I didi pretty good on spoting every place I was at. The image soudl etake less to load. I would re do it? yes. I think the second time i would eb more czrful and because now i know how to not let it look bad I'll avoid those things and improve. I think this prokject was fun but boring as to finding every specific place. I hope my next experience with Google Earth to be better and less strressing.

There are many things that we all do everyday that never seem like much until you realize how important they really are. Like me, today I Just went to school to "find my way to the future" as some people say, I think we all could find our way to the future, without going to school.Though I still believe school is very important in the formation of a civilized and well mannered human being.School is an everyday adventure for me . Everyday i learn soemthing new and i am with people that make me laugh .After the 6 hours of continuous learning , I went home, in my way home I was amazed by t he way a simple force of nature can bring us all together . When i say this I'm talking about the bridge. Gravity, water,and age made the bridge fall down and it has made 2 states that are constantly arguing and competing come together to find a solution that will help them both. Another thing that I just did was eating with my family.When I eat with my family and we all share our day and our experiences, it keeps the bond between us that sometimes it feels like it's disappeared.It's an amazing feeling, not only because we're finally eating a good meal after a crazy morning, but because everyone has put their little sand grain to be happy and to come together.

One of the many things I would like to do for my self, would be to learn how to not be afraid of life. There has been many times when I fell fear;wheather it be the ocean , a extreme thing or saying what I really feel. Everyone wants to be treated nice and that's why we most of the time keep our rage and hate secret until one day we take it all out and making things worse. I think we should talk about things when they happen because that the right moment instead of letting thins pas by. I feel like we've been all trying to be nice to everyone all our life and sometimes that's not the right thing to do. I found most people to be afraid of life, afraid of themselves even but that's not the way it should be. I want to be able to have fear for things but have the guts to say, I'll do it.; of course only if it's safe....not like jumping of a bridge that's 45 mts tall.Maybe this direction that Mr Mark gave us was for something to do for ourselves was more for an answer like running more or doing more charity things or things that will help us is other ways but this question made me think of me of who I am. I thinks that we are all capable of running more and all those things so it didn't seem like a real goal because it's actually very easy, and if you want to do something for yourself it should be something that makes you work hard so that when you achieve it you actually feel it was all worth it.

I;m a very special person as well as everyone, but there are many things that make me special like the ones i'll explain next.Being special is being a thinking human being because no one not even twins are the same so we are all special in our own secret and mysterious way. Something that makes me special is the way that I think of things and always try to make it better.Making things look better will give you a broader look of the situation and the ways to fix things, a better way of learning from mistakes.Another thing that makes me very special is being who I am. Maybe this paragraph will seem like I think I am incredible and all that but the truth is that the more things that you accept from your self weather they'll be good or bad the better person you'll be. Going back to the topic , I think I can almost always get what I want, not by doing it the wrong way but by understanding others and trying to find a way in which we both benefit .Another things is that i follow my lead and I like to accept people the way they are. Of course we are not all perfect and I make mistakes but sometimes we all get carried away and forget who we are and finding our way back will makes us MORE SPECIAL!The most important things that make me special is that I don't try to be like others and that I have special friends that make me even more special.
