Blog Reflection Post (Part 2)

My project on emotional triggers is going good. I'm still researching a little bit, but so far I have everything I need. I found some great resources and got a lot of the information I needed. One of my main concerns the last time I did a Blog Reflection post was on how people deal with emotional triggers and how you can get through them. Well, after some research I found my answer! So there's some progress. I also found a way I'm going to present my project. I plan on doing a video of me interviewing people about emotional triggers. I'm hoping to find out, if these people do have emotional triggers, how they worked through them or if they're still doing trying to. So basically, a variety of questions. I am, of course, going to be making it completely anonymous. So yeah, I have all my information, I have my camera and I have volunteers. All I really have to do is get a couple more supplies and I'll be ready to start my interviews.  So, my project is doing good so far, excited to get started on filming!

My inspiration post (week 4)

For my inspiration post this week, I decided to do it on the internet. I know the topic of "internet" doesn't sound to inspiring but hear me out. I get that the internet doesn't exactly give off a good vibe, but really think about it. Personally, I think the internet is great. I mean I see how it can be very dangerous place, but that's not all of it. The internet has given me a lot, and I know that might sound pretty pathetic, but it's not. The internet has taught me so many weird and wonderful things. It's taught me about happiness, life and art. But the thing I find most inspiring about the internet is the community. There's a lot of different people and groups on here but if you find the right one where you can fit in, it can be a great place. For example, Tumblr. I absolutely love Tumblr, it's one of my favorite sites. I can be completely in tears one minute and the moment I go on there, I can't help but smile. Tumblr is a pretty crazy place, you can bring up pretty much any topic and people will give you their opinions or even make a couple of jokes with you. Sure, there are rude people on there, but there's always going to be those type of people in life, you just have to ignore them. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that you can be yourself on the internet. You don't have to hide or pretend to be someone else, you can just be you. And best of all? People will accept you, in fact you'll probably, most likely, find others just like you. And I find that pretty darn inspiring. Also, you can find inspiration on the internet. There's so much to learn and see. And the internet can help you with that. You can find art, poetry, advice, help and support on here. Anything you can think of, you can find on here. And I love it. There's so many helpful people on here, and I can't help but think it's inspiring! So that's why I decided to do my inspiration post this week on the internet. So, there it is, my inspiration post for this week.

Gravity Movie Review Post

Recently, my class watched the movie, "Gravity" and we have to write about the resilience and strength in the movie. In the movie I thought there was plenty of resilience. If you don't know what resilience is, it's when someone overcomes an obstacle in life. In the movie, I think there's resilience everywhere, especially with Sandra Bullock's character. One thing that surprised me during the movie is the amount of resilience her character had. The fact that her daughter had died, and she overcame that and went on to become an astronaut is what really surprised me. Another challenge she faced in the movie was the thought of giving up. She could've easily have given up at any moment, it would have been simple. But she didn't, so that was pretty cool of her. She overcame that challenge by believing in herself and finally taking a chance. This made her character a lot stronger because it taught her that sometimes in life you have to take chances and have confidence in yourself. Although a lot of these challenges in the movie helped make her stronger and have more resilience, she was still had a lot of resilience before. Some of her characteristics helped her throughout her journey in space for example, her attitude. Her attitude was a big factor for her character that helped her a lot. Attitude matters a lot in life and can affect you in absolutely anyway you can think of. I mean, if you keep a negative or whiny attitude your obviously going to have a less chance of succeeding and reaching your goal. Sandra's character had a positive attitude throughout the entire journey and I personally think that helped her overcome a lot of the challenges in the movie. Overall, I think the "Gravity" sent a good message to it's audience about resilience and strength.
