Provocatuers

My dad is the biggest provocateur I know. He has that entrepreneur-like motivation, and a persistent personality. Even if something is considered impossible by law of nature, he still is going to o it with no doubt in his mind. He does show a lot of courage throughout his life. He had to be courageous, because he grew up in a rough area in Michigan, so you had to be courageous to even walk out of your house. If anyone is ever fearful of completing a certain task, he'll push you out of the way and do it with no second thought. 

To become a provocateur, I believe I need to stop thinking so much, because my thoughts usually become negative thoughts after a while of deep thinking. My negative thoughts always crush me and stop me from completing certain daring tasks.

Direction of my Final Project

My final project is going to be a challenge for me, because what I had in mind at first is not as easy as it seemed. It's going to take up most of my time if I want it to be even slightly successful. At this point, I'm having second thoughts of what I want to do for my final project.

I do want to have my website up on my laptop for people to browse through my portfolio of videography and photography, and that is for sure. I believe my project is going to go more towards showcasing and maybe tutorials of how I do my production, and maybe even a film to go with it. I will have to discuss this with my mentor first.

Technology is going to play a huge role in the completion of my final project. My camera and equipment with it is my most vital technology I will be using. Also, my laptop software will be used to make all the media that will be shown. I'm going to have my laptop setup so everyone can see my portfolio and my website.

Vulnerability

Sometimes, I am afraid that I am not "caring" enough. I'm always just zoned out thinking about so much, not realizing I should be doing things for others. To me, vulnerability is your weak point. It's what can destroy your ego. I struggle with vulnerability because I believe I have a little bit of an ego. Well, I think everyone does, but some people just don't have big ones. Every time I'm faced with something that I don't think I can overcome, I tell myself that other individuals have overcome crazier challenges with disabilities, and it helps me focus.

MINDSIGHT

1. I need to develop resilience, because I am easily brought of track, and it's hard for me to get back on. My life is filled with a lot of crazy events that take me off my path and leave me hanging.

2.  Well, I do not have a literature class this year, and I definitely do not enjoy reading in my free time. So sadly enough, I can say have not read one book this year.

3. As I child, I would play video games all day, every day like a maniac. I would rarely see the sun, and if I did, I would be having "pinecone wars" outside with my neighbors or riding my scooter.

4. My main goal for the past few years 

5. I still love to play video games in my spare time, but I've started to slow down on the gaming, and pursue my movie making and design skills. I like to really just create things on my computer, whether it's a design or a movie.

6. My favorite energizing activity is playing hacky sack. It gets me moving in a rhythm, and gets my heart beating quick. It's a good cardio workout.

7. Music artists intrigue me the most. The way they express their feelings using words is just so satisfying and creative. I'm quite intrigued with really any music artists, because I love ALL types of music almost equally.
