Essential Question

How can I predict the fall fashion trends of 2013?


I want to use technology to not only help me gather information from previous trends but to try and communicate with people working in the fashion world. Once I have all of my information I think the best way to display my findings will be to create a movie/slideshow and a handbook that will show the new designs I pick. I will also visit local clothing stores around Gainesville to see what trend our town locally picks up on but I will also visit fashion magazine websites along with Fashion shows in Milan to find where all the inspiration comes from.

Whom to I envy and what do I lie about?

I constantly find myself on social networking sites looking at other girls and comparing myself to them. When I do this I grow jealous or envious of them for having the perfect hair, the great teeth and also wear the right clothes. I get down on myself because I put forth all my energy on wanting to be like them when I am clearly meant to be different. I am thankful for what I have and I am blessed to be given my wonderful family and friends so I try not to get caught up in wanting things that other people have. But what I lie about are silly things like when people ask my grades in a class or if I have gotten into a college or what my test scores are. I will lie and say I don't remember or I haven't heard back yet because I feel self conscience about this and feel that my scores will not be good enough. I have a feel of being a failure so I lie and tell people that I have completed something when I actually forgotten just to save myself from admitting to forgetting and having to let people down. 

New Years Resolution

New, is my resolution word for the year. That sounds generic but I have but applying it to all the decisions I have made this year. When a new opportunity presents itself I would normally be too scared or not have time and say no but now I'm saying yes and trying new things. I started this year with something new I left the country for the first time by going on my first mission trip; to the Dominican Republic. Ive also applied my new years resolution at school and home. I realized that I have applied to all my colleges and if I get in thats great but if I don't that will be fine too, I am having a new mindset on handling things that happen to me. I hope that I will be able to keep up my resolution of trying new things and having a new outlook on life.
