Future!

     In the future, I see a huge advancement of technology. I imagine everything having a WiFi connection to it from the coffee machine to the dog. I see us as being very dependent on technology. I also hope that there are more STEM classes being offered.

Color Personality

     I think that blue and purple fit my personality. I like these colors for one thing. Plus they range from bright to dark. Everyone has good and bad days, and depending on my mood the shade will change.

Favorite Things!

     My favorite color is anything dark. I like dark shades of purples and blues and black. 

I grew up listening to country music. However, I have grown to like alternative. My favorite bands are Fall Out Boy and 5SOS. My favorite songs are Beside You by 5SOS and Centuries by Fall Out Boy. Depending on my mood, I still listen to country sometimes and my favorite artist is Sam Hunt. I like his song Make You Miss Me.





My favorite movies are the Fast and Furious I grew up watching them. Lets just say a few tears were shed on Paul Walkers death. I really love these movies and they area family favorite. I have a few favorite T.V. shows. They include Supernatural, Grey's Anatomy, and Fringe. I just started watching Supernatural and am on season 5. I am re-watching Grey's Anatomy, and just started Fringe.
     


My favorite food is my moms Gouda Grits and Shrimp. I like her buttermilk pie and ice cream for dessert. I like to drink sweet tea and coffee. My favorite restaurant is Fudruckers. I like their elk burgers and sweet potato fries.
  

 My favorite website is Pinterest. I am also quiet fond of Netflix, which I just got this weekend. My favorite app is Instagram.
    
 






 
I LOVE reading, and picking my favorite book is quiet hard. I really enjoy John Green's books. My favorite was Paper Towns. I am super excited for the movie. My favorite series is either Percy Jackson or The Hunger Games Trilogy. I have also read all the Divergent series, the Book Thief, and a lot of others. I am currently reading the Maximum Ride series.
   



A few of my other favorite things are my dogs. I have two yorkies named Bammbamm and Pebbles. I also have an Utonagan named Nola. (After New Orleans, Louisiana).
 



 My family is also very sport oriented. I am not as much, however I love watching football. My favorite team is the New Orleans Saints. My moms side of the family is from Oak Grove and Downsville outside of Monroe and Shreveport.
    

Given that I am not sport oriented, I do a lot of robotic "sports." I mentor, and am now head coach of team 11995 WARP. They are an elementary team of the First Lego League competition. This year is my second year on the First Robotics Competition team 1164 Project NEO. I work with the spirit group, and am currently working on programming. I have also began the work on the management side of it.This includes money management, finding sponsors, and giving demos or speeches. 

    

Last Week

     My favorite memory I made here at this camp was when all my friends tried to hack each other. I hacked Mireya's blog, she hacked my game and presentation, and Reema liked to mess with our stuff. My favorite outside activity was the human knot that we made. The coolest thing I learned was how to use the pen on Snap! I didn't necessarily make new friends. However, I caught up with ones I have not seen in a long time. My favorite meal this week was the Italian food.

Dream Job!

     My dream job is to be a teacher. I do however want to have background info on the subject I teach. I want to work in a robotics field for around 10 years. I would like to work in a field of advancing prosthetic. Then after I finish 10 years, I will go teach. I want to teach 7-9 graders who don't have the same opportunities as those in Public School Systems. These will be the kids who have gotten kicked out of school or go to a charter school for other reasons. I think this will be a good job to carry out until I retire. I also want to foster kids and dogs.

Time Travel!

     If I could travel anywhere in time, I would go to the medieval times. I really liked the way they dressed in those times. There was also many cool activities in the era. I like that they rode horses and did jousting. The village that they lived in was very close together. I like being close to those I live with. There was also very many cool occupations for that time. I over all just really liked that time period.

Super Hero

     If I had any super power, I would want to be able to be able to morph into anything. I think this would be cool, because I can be a different person every day. In our current society today, we are very limited to what we can do based on race, gender, and other bias reasons. I think that by being able to morph, you could open up a new world of possibilities. I would not be like an average super hero in a cape and mask. I wouldn't let my abilities be known. I would morph into who I needed to be for a given reason. I would change my name according to who I need to be for a given time. Examples include: turning into an older doctor to help kids in Africa, getting older to go to college and get a degree in teaching, or even turn into something non-human.

First Day

    My favorite part of camp today was creating a blog. I love journal style writing. I really enjoy also being able to read my friends blog. Today I mostly hung out with my old friends. I did however get to meet up with Katy who I haven't seen in a year. I love seeing my old friends gain.

All About Me!

      Hello! This is my first blog at the 2015 YWiC Summer Camp. This is my second year here. However, I also do computer science camps or organizations.
     My first computer science group was in 4th grade. I attended a Lego NXT club for a few months. My group made a football playing robot. That year a few mentors from YWiC introduced me to Alice programming. This is where I made my first little movie. My fifth grade year I also worked on the NXT. Going into sixth grade, I attended YWiC. Sixth grade year I joined the Super Computing Challenge. This school year, I joined Project NEO an FRC team. This year we went to Lubbock and competed. This is one of my favorite robotic teams. have also taught over the past 2 years to an FLL team at East Picacho called WARP. I absolutely LOVE working with the 4-5th graders! <3


 
  I attend at Sierra Middle School. I am in the science magnet and have an absolute blast. Other than science, I love language arts. Reading is favorite past time. I read all the time. I also like writing, but only if I get to pick the prompt. My favorite series include: Maximum Ride, Percy Jackson, Divergent, Hunger Games, and Harry Potter. Everyone calls me a Fangirl which I am totally okay with. I love looking at fanart. I love Supernatural and Skins; and binge watch every show that I enjoy. My favorite movies are the Fast and Furious
   



 
I am really into photography. I have entered things into the fairs for the past two years. I am currently trying to learn who to photo-shop. I typically do still shots and nature shots when we go camping.
 




     Some other random things I like include dogs. I have an utonagan and two yorkies. I also like to listen to music. My favorite bands are Fall Out Boy and Rehab. I also love to drink Starbucks.
