For my artwork I tried to create something that I would care enough to work on. I decided to paint my indoor soccer shoe with watercolors. The materials I used were my shoe for a reference, a paint brush, watercolors, and a watercolor piece of paper. The shoe was based on the galaxy theme and I tried my best to recreate it. I then for the background continued the galaxy so the background and shoe can complement each other. The colors I used were red, black, white, orange, purple, and blue.

I don’t think I have ever made something as cool as this and a piece of are as good as this. I really tried on this one and loved the outcome. I love soccer and I felt like the color wave of the shoe and having it to do with soccer, would be fun for me to create. I learned how to contract make colors flow and how to take my time and care about your art piece from this assignment. If I were able to do this all again I would change nothing but the colors. I want this piece of art to be a reflection of me as a person who loves soccer and whose talents can possibly take him out of this world.

​For my Senior Capstone this year I have created a project that has to do with what I want to do for the rest of my life, which is chiropractic care. For my project I created a google slide explaining what chiropractic is. I also have a video that is a part of my power point where I perform a chiropractic adjustment. I first palpated the person's spine so I could determine where he needs to be adjusted and then I performed a chiropractic adjustment. I have created this project in hopes to give people more information about chiropractic care, how an adjustment is performed, and to show people how safe it really is. Hopefully though this project people will stop being scared and know that this medicine free treatment works and changes lives safely. I want to get chiropractic more known because surgery should be the very last resort. Saying this most people pick surgery because the doctors say it and the patients no nothing about chiropractic and how effective it can actually be. Since this is what I really am dedicated on making this to be my future career I want this to be known so I can get more clients, help more people, and get more money.

In my art work I drew a self portrait of myself. I love to work out so in the middle of the portrait I drew myself with a nice lean body. I am not colored in because people are not really sure what ethnicity I am,  so I left mine colorless. If you look into my eyes they are faded and this is because I’m blind in seeing my competition. If the odds are against me I don’t care because I have faith in my ability. I have waves for a hairstyle and they are deep and all over the place so that's how I drew them in the picture. I have myself thinking about a soccer ball, because soccer is my passion. In the top left corner above my head I drew a soccer net and the 18 yard box because I am a striker who scores the goals. In the low half on the right side next to me I drew UFC fight gloves. This is because I love to watch the UFC which is mixed martial arts and I also do  martial arts myself. Pretty much perpendicular on the left side I drew wrestling shoes because I love to wrestle and am good at it. Above the UFC gloves is a drawing of a spine and pelvis. I drew this because I want to be a chiropractor when I grow up. I love people's reactions when I give them an adjustment. In the background I have the U.S. flag fading away because I use to be a patriot and wanted to be a Navy SEAL. I loved this country but stopped and feel like the U.S has been falling apart since Trump became president. Racist are more open to come out and we are going to war with ourselves again after we have been doing good.

For this project I used pencils,color pencils, markers, shading pencils,and a thin pen. I started off thinking about what I love and what I want my drawing to mean. I used all these items before except for the shading that was new for me.  A certain technique is to have something to look at and go from there. A new technique is to  draw shapes when drawing things to make a finished product. I am most proud of the finished product of my work. It is exactly what I thought it would look like and I can say that's a first for me. Usually I imagine something and it's nothing like what I thought it would turn out to be. If I could change anything it would be more detail in the flag. I feel like I could have done better with that. In conclusion I did this is a good project in my opinion. I learned that art is not as hard as I thought. It is about being consistent and caring about what it looks like.

• A description of the project you chose to revise, why you chose it, and the process you went through revising it

I chose to revise my CodeHS project.I chose this project because I knew that when I was doing this project before it was incomplete. The process I followed to revise it was to do level 11 which I did not complete. To complete level 11 I had to create If/else statements. An If/else statement is to do something if the condition is true or do something else if it is false.

• An overview of each of your project from each quarter including visuals

• The project type

• The overall vision and goal(s) of the project

• Was the project successful? Why? Why not?

In my Q 1 project I created a website that includes information about me, my accomplishments, and a resume. This project was successful except for my resume because I still need to build on that. My goals were to make anyone who is reading about me learn who I am in the shortest and the most easy time possible.

For my Q2 project I went on CodeHS and learned how to code. I went through different lessons that went the the foundations of coding. My goals was to finish all lessons but, only got to lesson 10. I feel as though the project was successful because I learned a ton but wasn't because I didn’t finish all the lessons.

For my Q3 project I created a game which I had to use the foundations of coding. My goal was to create a game and show people what I did and how to play it. This project was a failure because I hit the power cord and I lost everything and had to start all over. I didn’t have enough time to redo it and my game was incomplete.

For my revision project I had to make a revision on one of my projects and I chose codeHS. My goal was to complete lesson 11. It was a success because I did complete it. I had more than enough time to complete it which helped me get it done.

• My high point of the course was Coding. Using Codehs made it fun for me and made me interested in coding.

• My growth is from coding. Through coding there is many challenges you will encounter but there is a way around it. I learned that if I want it bad enough I can overcome anything.

• This helped me consider coding as a profession. It is a job demanding job. People want it and not a lot of people do it.

• Next year I would build something with code.

• Stay on top of your work

• Go to class

• Follow directions

For my project I created a game on a website Game Maker. I hoped to learn how to create the foundations of a videogame.

I completed each step to create a game starting from a sprite which is the character. I encountered a failure because the computer shut down when I was almost done my project and I lost all my stuff. I had to restart all over again. To overcome this problem I just did my project on creating a sprite,which is a character that you can control in the game.

I learned a lot through the creation of this project. I learned the basic structures of how to create a game. I learned how to be a better problem solver because I definitely came across a lot of problems.  I learned creating a little game is not as difficult as one might think.

I learned some things about myself also while doing this project. I learned that if I’m determined about completing something then it will get done. I learned that I really do like coding and creating games and I might consider going into that field.

If I could do this project differently I would've created the whole game and submitted me playing it. I would also have just created a game with more detail than what I have planned, but I don't know how that would've worked out with  me meeting the checkpoints.

Some tips for people using game maker is to go on youtube for help. There is excellent on there. I really want to do a game in more detail after doing this project. With multiple sprites and colors, with missions.

This game helped me explain that creating a basic game is possible for someone my age in just a few weeks. I would have been able to do it if I didn’t run into the problem I had. If I can do it anyone my age can do it. It's not hard at all.

Based on the I-Search papers that we completed on teenage development, here are some tips for teenagers to help them be happier and to help them develop in positive ways.

1. For kids with parents whose words influence them in a negative way: First accept that your parents are here to show you a better path and right now they’re just angry. Remember that there are teens out there who are going through the same thing, you're not alone. Try and surround yourself with people who embrace the positive in you and frequently know that you are a positive person in their life. Finally remember that you can change the way your parents think about you. Take it one step at a time and have conversations, compromise and come to a consensus with your parents.(Migdalia)

2. Kids who feel like their parents are living through themand are applying to much pressure the best thing for them to do is for them to talk to their parent.If they feel like the pace their parents are pushing them to is too fast they should express their true feelings.Them doing so would make it easier for the parents to understand your feelings and so they can see how they are affecting you and see the error in their ways.

3. Kids don’t need to fit in but it’s natural to. It is natural for you to try fit in because its a healthy way to grow up. It allows you to view different things that you enjoy and help you decide the career options that you enjoy. When teens can’t fit in then they feel that they are not special and that they are worth nothing.
