-Well as some of you might know my name is Michelle Lopez. I am one of the participants that was chosen to be part of the DOTCOM program. But first I want to tell you a little about myself. First off, I was born in New Jersey, but moved down to Florida when I was five. My parents are from Colombia, therefore I do know how to speak Spanish. I am currently a freshmen at Cypress Creek High School. At this moment, all my classes are honors, and I have one AP class. I am in a program called AVID. One of my goals in life is to go to college, get an excellent education. Right now, I want to study to become a college Math teacher, hopefully I accomplish that. One of my hobbies is to read, on my spare time I read interesting books. I really enjoy having good grades, it makes my parents happy and it sure makes me happy as well. When you first get to meet me, I might give the impression that I am really shy, but once you get to know me, I really am not. I am a very open-minded person, I mostly always think outside the box. If I have an opionion about something, I will most likely say it. But overall, I am a pretty laid back person, that is open to learn new things.
-One of my favorite media right now are books. At this moment I am about to finish the Twilight seris. I am on the last book, Breaking Dwan. This seris is very good, the author Stephenie Meyer, gives so much detail that you actually feel like your in the scene. That is how you know the book is worth reading. About a year ago, I really disliked reading but I started one day, and I found out that there really is very good books out there. The reason why this type of media plays a huge role in my life is because, I am almost always reading. Like for example, in school when I finish my work early, I take out a book and start reading it, at night before I go to sleep I read.
-One thing i am concerened about is, being that the schools budget is being cut low in my community. So the School Board thinks it is a good idea to cut down the sports to save money. I am truly against, but I haven't really done anything about it. But what I have done is, keep updated on the news if the decision is made, but so far it hasn't. So hopefully they make the decision soon, so i can find out.
-In the DOTCOM program I am really looking foward in sharing my ideas about how media influences our lives. I would also like to learn more about other cultures, and how that affects their media. I am hoping that when I am finished with this experience I learn a lot new stuff of media. I am really excited that I am part of this project, and that I am participated in this great expierence. I am really honored to say I am part of this project. (:
