Senior Project .

Does background shape who you are ?
I wanted to focus on this topic. I worked with kids over the summer at a local Boys and Girls Club. I couldn't help but see how diverse these children were. Some coming from homes withh busy parenta who needed the clubs help to babysit to children who were places in foster homes. Yet all these children learned to love one another and become close . This all caught my attention. I wanted to document a variety of people and get in insight on their struggle. For example, I so have interviewed a Boys and Girls Club director and a makeup artist. I ran into a makeup artist who does celebrity makeup and related to a local friend of ours . I am so curious to continue on seeing howdifferent situations   bring one to where they want to be.

Look at my brain

My master peice reflects who I am . At the end i feel like there will be more of an understanding of who I am. I want to base my project basically around who I am . I crave adrenaline, memories, and adventure . I love the feeling of meeting new people, and reading them and relecting on how they are and who they are . I feel like that alone has such a meaning to life . To meet someone and be able to say hey i did that once .

Master plan!

For my senior project I wanted to get meaning out of it. Considering the fact that we arent getting to do a scrapbook I wantes meaning to come out of it. With a various of friends wanting to combine ideas. We are occasionally switching around measingg around with ideas . With our group of friends we are all about adrenaline and memoriea so our project has moved from recording our " ghost hunts" to taking a road trip to LA and just meet different people because of how diverse the city is . You never know what we can find. My project is basically just going to be anything with adventure and memories.
