One of the most frightening things to me is college. As of right now I'm confused about whether i want to go away to college or stay in the city. I'm a mommy's girl so I'm use to being up under her all
the time and going where ever she goes. She spoils me and basically held my hand for everything. The hardest thing is not being able to depend on her for college like the way i am depending on her
now. Part of me wants to go away and experience new things , explore the new environment , and meet new people while the other half wants to stay here because i don't want to be homesick and i'm
not ready to completely be on my own. Growing up and learning to be responsible at a young age makes it more difficult because i'm forced to make my own decisions. In college no one is going to be on my back about going to class, telling me to study for a test, or telling me when my assignments are due , i have to be able to balance out my schedule and learn to manage my time on my own. I'm basically not ready to be an adult.

  In my government class it seems like its so hard to get the average that I want. I Like Ms.Tomlin as a teacher but i feel like she asks for too much at once. Today in class she told us that we have an essay about "Governor's Race"which is upsetting because i still have a project from her that is due next week Thursday. I feel like its a lot at once and my brain isn't able to keep up and focus all at once. I guess its slightly a good thing that she's gives out assignments this way so that it can help me prepare myself for college.
   One thing I want to work on in this class is how to speak better in my oral presentations and learn how to get less nervous about presenting to big groups of people. By constantly doing these projects every marking period should help me loosen up and do better and hopefully get atleast the 85 that Im reaching for.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

My Passion

One thing I'm passionate about is writing. To me , writing is a way to express anything you are feeling and it helps me to express myself as a person. Expressing my feelings while writing has always been very helpful for me because I'm not able to explain myself to people through words. I tend to get very easily frustrated when people do not understand what I am trying to say when it always sounds so right and makes perfect sense to me and not to every one else.

When I write down my thoughts, it becomes a stress reliever because I know what I'm talking about and I'm able to look back at it and remember how I was feeling at that moment and why. I see it as self healing because your releasing your feelings , thoughts, and emotions and dealing with it and it will not effect no one because it's for yourself.

  Yesterday in class, i was assigned an article named "13 secrets reality TV Show producers won't tell you". This article is about the manipulation of reality Tv and it exposes secrets that not a lot of people know about.One of the secrets is that the producers can step in  and say that they don't want a person kicked off the show just yet because the person is really good and interesting. They often cut different clips and edit them out to make it sound like one conversation. The creators sometimes intervene between the cast members by instigating a fight between them. For example the show bad girls club. The producers can instigate a fight among the girls to get more views.

   I found two secrets to be interesting. One secret that I found interesting was that reality TV stars get a $20 or $30 stipend and all there expenses on the TV is covered for them so there hardly spending money. The second secret was that producers can create complete sentences from scratch which is called frankenbiting. Frankenbite is recorded and edited clips put together. An example is if you see someone talking and the camera is on something else but you still hear that persons voice.

about me

My Name Is Nyla And I am Seventeen Years Old. My birthday is February 27. I currently attend thurgood marshall academy. My Favorite Color is red because its bright . I use to like pink but I wore the color too much so it became tiring. I hate the color purple because it looks nasty.Im short and don't really like being called a midget. I'm very open minded and will most likely disagree with anything someone tells me just to be annoying. I like to mimmick people with high pitched voices because I think its funny. I prefer not to be around a lot of people because its to much chaos and I already come from a big family. I am the sixth child and the youngest girl out of my three sisters. I would say that I'm a little bit hard headed because I'm not to fond of following directions. I hate to see the outcome of most bad situations which is why I'm not really a risk taker. Im very competitive and hate losing. If I had to describe myself in three words , I would have to say caring because I'm sensitive to peoples feelings and rather hold in my emotions before hurting people I care about... spoiled because when im not able to get what I want when I want it, i go into upset mode and won't speak to anyone for the rest of the day...and annoying because I like to harass people to get a reaction.
