Blog Presentation Essay

I have created a slideshow showing eight images that represent who I am as a person. The first picture of my slideshow is the “I love New York” logo. I chose to include this picture because I love everything about living in New York, I also chose to stay home and commute to college partly because I didn’t want to leave New York. The second picture in my slideshow is showing an American flag with an Irish flag. I included this picture because both of my parents are from Ireland, and I was brought up in an Irish household. I lived in Ireland from 4th to 7th grade, however I missed living in New York. This picture shows that I am proud to be an Irish American.
The third picture in my slideshow portrays the Catholic faith. Being raised in an Irish Catholic family, the Catholic faith has been a big part of my life. Up until college I always went to Catholic school, and my family always stressed the importance of the Catholic faith throughout my childhood. The fourth picture is an image of a family. I didn’t want to post pictures of my actual family members, but the image in the presentation symbolizes that my family is important to me. My parents have been divorced throughout my entire childhood, I have always been closer with my mom but I still keep in contact with my father. I have one older sister named Jackie, who I am very close with. My immediate family members and other family members have always been very supportive and caring.
The fifth picture is an image that symbolizes friendship. Once again, I chose to use a symbolic image rather than use a picture of my actual friends. Most of my closest friends have been friends of mine for over ten years and I’m only seventeen. I believe a person’s friends really have a big influence on a person’s life. I am lucky enough to have a group of friends who have had a positive influence on my life. The sixth picture on the presentation shows the logos of all of my favorite sports teams. I have always been a sports fan, so I felt it was necessary for one of the slides to be sports related. My favorite sports are soccer, football, basketball, and baseball in that order. My favorite soccer team is Manchester United, my favorite American football team is the Jets, my favorite basketball team is the Knicks and my favorite baseball team is the Yankees.
The seventh slide of the presentation shows the technology that I regularly use. Even though I’m in college now, I still occasionally feel the urge to go on xbox and play a game. I watch movies on Netflix and use my Mac laptop on a daily basis. Also, I find myself watching videos on YouTube on a regular basis. The last slide of the presentation is a picture of two cars. I have always been fascinated with cars, so I felt a need to include a cars related slide. I chose to use a picture of a 2007 Grand Jeep Cherokee because that is the car that I bought myself last Christmas. The second car is my dream car, a Lamborghini Gallardo. Hopefully one day I will have that car. Those are the eight images that I have chosen to represent who I am as a person.
