I have not been ugly or nasty to someone who is mentally challenged and I will never be because they are still a person with feelings and emotions but I have witnessed this happen and i did intervene and it made me feel good because I made someone think about what they were doing and I helped someone who was in need.

I. Academic: You will answer the following questions for each academic area: English, math, science, social studies, and electives. How many credits do you have in each area? What type of grades do you have? Have you taken any honors or AP classes? How would you rate your aptitude? (Are you good at that subject? For instance, you may be a good writer or enjoy reading, but you haven’t done well in English.) Is your academic record going to prevent you from the career that you have chosen? My grades in English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Electives are eng. B, math B, Science C, social studies A, Spanish C, ila. A, and weight lifting A. At the end of this year ill have 3 credits in eng., math, social studies, science, and have 8-9 in Electives. I have taken all history honor classes.

Enthusiam

Im very enthusiastic towards graphic design more than towards english or math.The reason im more enthusiastic about graphic design is because I love designing graphics that catch peoples eyes. Another reason is I like to edit normal pictures to my own design by adding words, backgrounds, almost anything you can do to edit pictures. My last reason is I like to make people think with my art work such as graphic desighns or drawings.

My first reason is that I fell in love with Art and designing graphics. My first experience with artwork was in elementry school and i just loved drawing. After that i started to improve more and more in my artwork and get more creative like instead of drawing something easy like an animal or such I would try to draw a self portrait or a whole scene. My first experiece with computer graphics was in 10th grade when my friends told me about this website to edit pictures. So I went home and tried it and i fell in love with it, it just interested me so much, with all the colors and different settings you can add to a picture and make it yours.

Furthermore I'am interested in catching peoples eyes when they walk past my artwork or graphics. Most of my graphics i make start as either a picture of me,a friend, or one of my hobbies. When I'am finished with it, it looks nothing alike except maybe the main perspective of the picture. Which is almost always the person or main intrest of the picture.

Lastly Iam taking many art clases to help me with my subject. Next year im planning on having four art classes including computer graphics as one of them. So Iam on my way to following my interests in this subject.
