Photo Journalism: Texture

These photos represent texture to me.

My grandma crocheted this blanket for me. It is very soft.

This table has been in my family for 14 years. Every time you write, it goes through the paper and gets imprinted on the table.



I love the feeling of running my hand over a keyboard or piano even though I barley play it.

What My Family Eats

Pantry

Some of my family's favorite foods are chili and enchiladas and ice cream and cheesecake. On average, my family spends about $200/month on food.

20% Project: Field Hockey

For my 20% project, I will probably end up doing it on field hockey. It is my passion and my favorite sport in the whole world. I know how to play, but I do not know where it originated or how it came to be. I am really curious about this. For my project, I will need a field hockey stick and ball. I can also use other equipment and maybe even my favorite goalie equipment. It may be hard to get the equipment because it belongs to the school. That would be one roadblock. I can consult some of the coaches from the high school. I can also consult my dad because he was a woman's college field hockey coach. I hope this is a good idea.

2013 Resolutions

In 2012, I learned that I have a lot of really good friends. They all have my back and support me and everything I do. I also learned that I need to be bolder and braver. If I want to do something, I need to try and not be afriad. For example, I was really scared to audition for a solo in chorus. I finally got the nerve to audition and I got one of the solos. Another example is that I was nervous about singing in NBC Idol at Tis the Season. Well, I did it and I got a 20 for my score....PERFECT!

In 2013, I will try to exercize more to get in shape for lacrosse season. I will try to eat healthier and be nicer to my siblings, parents, and friends. I will also try to sing the National Anthem at a winter sporting event. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

The First Amendments

The First Amendments include speech, petition, assembly, speech, and religion. However, not everything is completely spelled out. One question is about the freedom of speech. Do you have the same freedom of speech on the Internet vs. other forms of media? The First Amendment Center states that the Supreme Court ruled speech on the Internet receives the highest First Amendment protection.

Another question I have is about the "separation of church and state." Does it say this in the Constitution? The words do not appear in the Constitution. However, according to the First Amendment Center on religion, it was intended when it was written. The government may not favor one religion over the other. In fact, they cannot not favor religion over non-religion.

One last question has to do with the freedom of the assembly. When am I allowed to protest? Where am I allowed to protest? Well, according to the First Amendment Center on assembly, the government can restrict the time and place to protect public safety. That answers when and where. I guess now I don't have any questions so.....I guess I'm done.
