Slide one explains my love for my family. In this slide are pictures of my paternal cousins, and immediate family. They are a big part of my life. I grew up nearby all my cousins and saw them frequently. Most of my childhood memories include all of us at my grandparent’s house causing havoc. One year my cousin Jonathon microwaved a pencil that I had gotten for Halloween and as a result, it exploded and started a huge fire. There was no real damage done, but I will forever have that image in my head of my grandmother running with paper plate in flames like a chicken with its head cut off. I still am close to them today and although we do not see each other as often I still always feel like I can talk to them whenever I have a problem. My immediate family (my sister, brothers, dad and mom) is also an important aspect of my life.  They are my support system and no matter what I know they will always be there for me and vice versa. The Second Slide is about my dog, Teddy. I bought teddy during a bad period in my life and he helped to bring me out of it. I bring Teddy everywhere, as I feel a bit empty without him. Teddy is loyal and very affectionate, maybe to a fault, but whenever I’m down I can count on him brightening my day. The third slide is about my friends. I have remained close to most of my friends since high school. They are always down for a good time and when the whole crew gets together you know it’s going to be one crazy fun night. While they all have a crazy side, my friends are also supering responsible, motivated and smart. They always have great advice to give me and we all often get into really intense conversations discussing various topics. The fourth slide is about my love for doodling. I love drawing in class, as it calms me and helps me to concentrate. In particular the designs in the image are those that I have been working on since high school. Slide five also describes my love for art, in particular photography. I love to take pictures of everything especially landscapes. I really appreciate the beauty of an area that is completely untouched by developers and technology. When traveling I love to bring my camera and take pictures while in a moving car. Slide six is about my love of traveling. Recently my family and I went to Barbados, Hawaii, Thailand and Bermuda. I love going to a new place and learn about it history and customs. It is always interesting to see how different people around the world live. The last slide about my New York pride. I grew up in New York and I think it is the best city in the world.
