Rainy Summer Days

So earlier this month it had been raining on and off for about four days straight. Since I have been getting into photography I thought it would be a cool idea to go in my backyard and take some pictures. All the flowers have bloomed and I am using a very basic camera (not a DSLR) and I personally think the pictures came out great!

Democratic National Convention: Day 3

Image
A popular topic this year is the election for the next President of the United States. This year's election seems to be the most intense and most important election year to date. This year I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to cover the  DNC  through  Motivos Magazine . The last day of the DNC was great! Although I didn't get to go to the Wells Fargo Arena, one last time I attended an awesome panel. This panel was around the topic of diversity in the workplace. This panel as a diverse group of successful people and the room was full of very diverse people of color as well. Panel Title: People of color; not just for Stock Photos Whitney Tome Executive Director at Green 2.0 Kaya Henderson Chancellor of Public Schools for the District of Colombia Jean Lee President & CEO of Minorities Corporate Counsel Association *These were just some of the panelists Most people on this panel were women (which I love). Often times white males are pla...

Book Review (Spoilers): Everyday by David Levithan

Image
Plot Overview This book explores the life of a teenager who wakes up in a different body of someone their age, never the same person twice. This teen has been living like this for sixteen years, living each day for that person and never getting too involved in their life. But when they meet Rhiannon everything changes. Qualms The books overall sentiment was that love transcends all and that A was special because they didn't identify as any gender or race and had lived through all walks of life giving them a unique perspective on the world. And although to many people this seemed to be a progressive book, I thought the intent was great but the execution was horrible. First,  can we talk about how all the characters were defaulted to be white? As I was reading I found it uncomfortable the way POC characters were introduced to the reader and the use of stereotypes and lack of originality with the characterization.

Part Six: College Acceptances & Rejections

Image
So as of now I have been accepted. And rejected from colleges and universities. I applied to 8 schools; Emerson College, Syracuse University, Ithaca College, Hofstra University, Kutztown University, Shippensburg University, Temple University and Lebanon Valley College. I got accepted to all except for Syracuse University. Sadly I was rejected but I see it as a sign that I wasn't supposed to go there. But I also knew when applying that it was a reach school. A reach school meaning that I wasn't sure that I would get into it but there was still a chance. As I am reviewing my acceptances I am so proud of myself. I am trying not sound self absorbed but I always knew college was the end game and its always been one of my goals. During this college process, I have been pretty much on my own. I went to my school counselor here and there for simple questions but I applied on my own and did all the research on my own. And I got accepted (and rejected) all on my own, with the su...
