GMOs

A GMO is short for a genetically modified organism. It includes plants and animals it is created by the gene splicing techniques of biotechnology. Monsanto is one of the biggest operations for creating GMO's in the world. They conduct the splicing of genes with food and crops especially more than animals.

I am not for genetically changing the way that we eat out food
because as the non GMO project says"cross-pollination and consequently contamination is possible. One of the most popular items that GMO companies target is corn production. GMO companies have put their product and process in 88% of all corn products in the United States.

Being Charitable

The charity that I want to give money to and would donate to is ASPCA. ASPCA stands for american society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. It is one of the biggest and well known foundations to help animal cruelty. It was founded in 1866 and was the first humane organization in the Western Hemisphere. The founder of ASPCA is Henry Bergh said “to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States.”
I love animals so to find a shelter and a charity that helps protect against animal cruelty and abuse against animals is really cool. I have had many animals thorughout my life time and even if it was my sisters cat or my brothers chinchilla I loved all of them. I would appreciate a way to find out how I could voluteer or help out at the shelter. Not only would it exceed the community service hours that I have to complete but I think it would also be an enriching experience. 
When I see the commercials on TV they come off as very sad and depressing but I think that it is good to show what animal cruelty is really about instead of sheltering the idea of it. The way that they provide help for animals not just cats and dogs but ever animal is very noble. I enjoy ASPCA and what they have to offer and I would advise you to get involved with them as well.

my expertise

 My expertise is in the field of art, mostly painting rather than sketching. I did an art project very similar to this picture on the left. I had painted the canvas black splattered it with white paint and put crayons all around the border in color order. After that I took a lighter and burned the edges of the crayons and they dripped onto the canvas. I love painting because I can create anything I want and there is nothing that I can't do.




One of my favorite artists is Jackson Pollock who created the painting on the right. The reason I like his art so much is because he was one of the first people to create this type of painting. After these assortmant of paintings were created it stirred up a lot of inspiration between other artists. I enjoy the looking at the detail between the lines and splatters of his paintings. Some of them are very inticate and interesting to look at. I have done one of these types of paintings before; I painted the background teal and used silver white and black paint to splatter all over the canvas. It is still hanging in my room to this day

I am a very enthhusiastic about art because I love to create new things. I get my inspiration from everyday things like the sky or even just cars passing me on he road. I would thank Jackson Pollock though for giving me the inspiration to first start painting in the beginning when I was just 12 years old.

The Best Thing I Did This Summer

The best thing I did this summer was going to the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and watched the Bugs bunny symphony perform. That day my father, sister and I went to LA to see the live orchestra play with the classic Loony Tunes shows in the background. We started off the day at 2 in the afternoon and drove up there which took about an hour. When we got there we had about 2 hours to waste before heading to the show, so we walked up and down Hollywood blvd. and saw the stars on the sidewalk and went into the wax museum. After about an hour we decided to have dinner and we went to Johnny Rockets in the big strip mall in west Hollywood. My sister and I both ordered a grilled cheese while my father got a salad and bacon burger.
After dinner it was time for the show so we started walking because it was very close to our location. On our way we saw a candy store and my father said that my sister and I could each pick something out so I got twix and she got skittles. When we got the the bowl we sat in our assigned seats which were right in the middle and enjoyed the show. The conductor came out and said a few words before the show began and thanked us all for coming then the show really began. The Loony Tunes signature song came on and we sat back on the cool summer night and listened while the symphony played for about 2 hours. Overall it was a great night and my family and I really enjoyed the music as well as the atmosphere that West Hollywood had to offer.
