In week one we talked about the ten rules for being human. Here are some of my favorites; Rule one is "You will receive a body. you may hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period." people are too concerned about looking like everyone else and not concerned enough about what really matters. its your body, love it because you don't get a different one. Number 5, "Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that deosn't contain it's lessons. if you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned." you will never stop learning, no one will ever know everything. Rule number 6; ""There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."" were constantly wanting better things, striving to get those things and keep getting the better things. "Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself." Rule number 8 "What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you make of your life is up to you. The choice is yours" what you become or so is all up to you, your in charge of your future. Like rule 8 rule 9 is "Your answers lie withing you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust." so like rule nine, its all you.You decide your future and you already know what you need to know. And finally rule 10 "You will forget all this." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PN5JJDh78I

This week i have learned how hard writing personal stories can be. I'm pretty young, i have a lot to learn, but right now I'm the smartest I've ever been, I've also realized how simple it can be, just writing my thoughts as they occur to me. We listened to the ted talk "Please Don't Take My Air Jordans" which is basically about people being more worried about what they have on their bodies and the type of car they have. they want people to think they have those things because they’re good enough, because they are better than those who don’t wear name brand high class clothing. people will do almost anything to be seen as someone who is smart and successful, instead of actually being interested in the work to actually become that successful. Though that feeling of succeeding yourself is great, to be proud of what you have and who you are. people are just lazy, people don’t want to put in the time and effort but the sad thing is some people just don't think they’re good enough. anyone can accomplish anything they want. people will be there to tell them they're not good enough but who doesn't face that at some point in they’re life. they need to be willing to keep on bettering themselves and to push through. no matter who thinks they can't do it as long as they think they can and they are and determined and willing to look elsewhere they will do the most. doors will be shut for you, its up to you to look for other doors. heres one of my favorite youtube videos, it inspires me to follow my dreams and make it count https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dItl1tvYRA I've learned this week about the seven elements of digital storytelling including the point of view which is what view your story is being told to help make your point of the story clearer. Also giving your story a dramatic question, to draw your readers in, to make them interested in answering that question. Adding emotion to your piece will give it more emphasis and add make it more dramatic or captivating, like feeling in your story as well, make your reader feel what you want by using emotion in your writing. Its good to have. write some personal stories, give your story voice, detail is very important in keeping attention. the soundtrack can help take your story to the emotion you’re after. A sad melody fits an emotional writing piece, while an upbeat soundtrack will bring more happiness to your words. Pacing and rhythm will make your story easy to follow. I've learned that theres so many different ways of writing. you can do so much ad have so much power when writing. you can make people feel deep emotions just from words on a paper. theres many factors that go into making your story depict the emotion you want your readers to feel. there are so many stories that have been told and so many to be told. I've also learned how personal experiences have the ability to change lives. that how powerful words can be, powerful enough to actually change someones life! people just need to be willing.
