Meaningful video

1. In this slideshow I included things/people that are important to me, like my family; My niece, brother, and his girlfriend and my cousin, because they're important to me, cause my family is always there for me, to help me with whatever i need and they are a part of me, since we share the same blood. Then my friends from school and outside of school because they also are very important to me, they always help me, and know how to cheer me up when I'm sad, and always treat me great. Also I put two of my friends drawing, and a piece of my artwork and some art in the art room at school, because to me art is meaningful, i love art, i think its like another way to speak to the world but instead of words, you use images and i added the music to show that music is also meaningful to me, cause its a different type of art, instead of pen or pencil you use your voice.

2. They all related to me, because they're all things that are important to me in life. I would like to 

3. What seems good about my life, is that i have a family and friends who love me, and I'm getting good education to help me in the future, and I have clothes to put on and food to eat.

What seems bad about my life is how bad we're treating our home land, we don't clean it enough and animals are becoming extinct, and a lot of people aren't doing anything about it, and also we're losing lots of trees, which is bad, cause they're homes to animals, and they help the earth's air. Also what is bad, is how people are like going against each other because of their difference, like homophobes and gays.

Something neutral in my life is, school, i like it, but i also dont. I dont mind learning and going to see my friends, but waking up early is a drag.

4. Something i would've loved to include was like video clips of times i have with my friends that aren't significant but are like meaningful to me, like me and my friends playing DDR in toys r us, and also i would've loved to add a picture of both me and best friend holding up a sign that would say "we're bi" or something like that, because even though some people might not approve of our orientation, we don't really care, we're proud to be bisexual, so I would've liked to add that in as well. Also like maybe some pictures of my neighborhood, because even though its nothing special, its still special to me, since its my home, and also i would've like to add in a picture of my parents, maybe next time they'll want to be in one.

5. What seems like a general pattern would have to be going to school, coming back home, drinking, eating, going on the computer and then going to bed. Also always leaving stuff for last, like buying school supplies. Another pattern is, another bad ting happening after another, like with the storms nowadays, one right after the other, people dying, getting hurt and losing their homes.

6. They help me to see what i should do and what i shouldn't, they teach me to limit myself, and the neutral is just something thats there, its neither good or bad, just something i have to deal with. Also it makes my life seem more stable and normal, cause if i didn't think anything was good, then that'll be bad for my health and mentality, and if there wasn't anything neutral then there wouldn't be a balance between bad and good.

7. Well i guess in a way it is, because americans value their friendship and families, and they have to go to school, we're all weird and different, so i guess i am living a "typical american life", even though there is no such thing as a typical american life, because we all live differently, and there is no way one family can live just like another, there is always small differences. But if you basing it on common things, like going to school, eating, bathing, and that kind of things, then yah, but if its like my whole life, then most likely no.

8. I'd like to look more deeper into how much i love art and my family, because yah i love art a lot and its important to me, but is it really important to me, that i'll be loving it for the rest of my life, and for my family i know i love them, and always will, but when i compare them to my friends, i tend to pick my friends more, because they know more about me then my family does, which sounds weird, but since I'm always with them more, i prefer my friends more then my family, and i wonder if that will change in the future, if i'll ever end up loving my family more then my friends.

cool, I like how you've put everyone in the video, almost everyone anyways, Everything fit together well and it showed what a close relationship you have with people which looked very sincere, and thats very meaningful.

PS I didn't think you could actually get that pic from ur sidekick onto the vid

I thought it was a good video showing the important people in it I also think how you zoom in on some people was also cool. I saw a pattern in your video of how you start from you family to outside friends to school friends.

I also liked how u listed a bunch of your friends names and showed pics of them (( you have tons of friends and you like to keep good relationships with people so that’s why you have so many lol))
I also liked how you through in a subliminal message I know your support gay pride and the color wheel at the end is like the gay flag
