These pictures are a good representation of me because each photo stands for something i love or enjoy to do. The first two photos are pictures of me and my two best friends who I love spending time with. The photo of the cupcake represents my sweet tooth. Although i do enjoy my sweets i also enjoy savory things as well which leads into my next photo that displays my favorite type of cuisine, Italian. The photo of the Eiffel Tower symbolizes one of my favorite places in the world. Although i haven’t traveled there yet, the language, cuisine and overall atmosphere further entices me to go.  But Paris isn’t the only city I would like to see, I would love to travel all over Europe. The fifth image represents my love for the colder weather, Autumn in particular, but Winter as well. The sixth photo represents one of my favorite places in New York; Central park captures the beauty of the city, while providing a nice place to relax in. The picture of the golden retriever shows my love for animals and particularly dogs. I admire the fact that dogs are so loyal and kind even when they are treated poorly.

Playlist

Above is a playlist of ten songs that i thought might represent me. Ten songs probably won’t be enough for you to know the whole me, I think they give a pretty good idea of the kind of person I am. All of these songs are songs that i absolutely love and listen to frequently.  So I guess i have to explain why I actually picked them…here goes,

The first song, That’s Life by Frank Sinatra. I chose this song because the lyrics kind of relate to the way I see life. You could be happy, having the time of your life- and all of a sudden it sucks again, however your always going to try to pick yourself back up.

I chose Rock Your Body by Justin Timberlake, Release by Timbaland Feat. Justin Timberlake, and Get Down by the Backstreet Boys because these songs are fun, and i really have a good time listening to them.

Don’t Curse by Heavy D. I think this song is comical. i love hip-hop, so this kind of represents that without all the bleeps. It shows how you don’t need a bunch of trashy words to have good music. This can be applied to the life I live right now. I don’t need to act or behave trashy to have a good time in life.

Do Your Thing by Nsync is one of my favorite songs and I think it says two things about me. 1. I have a pretty corny taste in music. 2. I love those inspirational “You can do it!” songs. However, this song got me through some tough times.

The song Cruz by Christina Aguilera is about feeling free of all responsibilities and negative thoughts and just enjoying the moment your in, which is something I would like to do more often.

Get Off Of My Cloud by The Rolling Stones is about trying to live happy in your own little world, but there is always something that comes in and pulls you out.

For All We Know by Donny Hathaway is a song that describes two people who spend every waking moment together in fear that in the future they may never meet again. I can relate to this song because there are people in my life that i would like to be around all the time but cant, so when i do have a chance to chill with them i don’t take the time I do have with them for granted. Plus, i just think this guy is a phenomenal musician.

All Alone by Fun. kind of describes a guy who puts all his love towards an inanimate object in place of the person who doesn’t show him the love he shows them. Though i cant exactly relate to this particular situation, I really like to belt this song out. When i feel alone, or unappreciated i put all my energy into listening to music.

The End 🙂

In this slide show you will see some pictures of people and places that have essentially made me who I am today. The first three pictures are of me and my best friends. They have been my best friends for many years and since the beginning they have taught me so much and have made me an overall better person. The fourth picture is of my dog, Taz who is the so beautiful and kind. The fifth photo is of one of my favorite bands, The XX, that I was lucky enough to see in concert. The sixth picture is of my favorite food in the entire world, SUSHI being eaten at my favorite place to go in my hometown of Miami.. the beach! The seventh picture is of my hands covered in paint. This symbolizes my love for art (specifically design and photography). I hope to be the creative director of a company someday. The eight photo is of my campers and me sitting on my bunk bed at sleep away camp. Being a counselor taught me a lot and prepared me to take care of myself and others. My sister is pictured in the ninth photo. She is the funniest, happiest person I know. Followed by my sister are my parents in the tenth. They have given me an amazing life and for that I will always be in debt to them.

Okay, well I guess I have to talk about myself so here it goes! The eight pictures that I chose in my slideshow definitely represent me and a number of my interests. You’ll notice that two of these pictures are of my sister and I. Yes, she’s my sister. Meaning that yes ladies, I’m single. My sister is definitely my best friend and although she’s upstate for nine months of the year for the past four years, we’ve still remained close through that and go to each other for pretty much anything. As you can probably tell by the photos, I’m an avid sports fan. I can literally sit home all day and watch pretty much any team of any sport and I’ll enjoy my time doing that. Specifically I’m a Yankee and Knicks fan, in case y’all were wondering. I also have a pretty big interest in law and politics, and plan on one of those two things being my future profession, or both of them. I’m not going to state my political affiliation, but if anyone wants to know, just ask and then we can probably have a pretty good debate. So yea, that’s more than enough things to know about me. Hope you all enjoyed it.

Kayla Allen- Slideshow

The 8 pictures I chose describe me because they are of the most the most important people in my life and quotes that fit my personality. I know this is supposed to be a post about myself but I don’t believe I would be anything without these people in my life. It first starts with my family because they are my core. They have shaped me to become the person I am today. Next, is my boyfriend who has been in my life for the past three years. He’s the only person I know that can put up with my various attitudes and mood swings. The next picture is of my cousins, however we are so close, I consider them more of the sisters I’ve never had. They’re there for me through good and bad, ups and downs. I know that whatever happens in my life I can always count on them to be there. The last picture with people other than myself are of my best friends. We’ve been friends since the 6th grade and not even the distance that college has put between us will tear us apart. I also put in pictures of myself as a baby and a recent photo of me at prom. Those pictures make me realize how far I’ve come, that I’ve made it this far and I can make it even further in life. The other two pictures are quotes that describe me. I’m usually a quiet person and during those times I am thinking, processing everything in front of me without commenting on them unless I know the whole story. The other quote means exactly what it states, I’m a very nice person but once my limit is reached, I’m very spiteful and feisty.

Values of Life

The only way you can truly know someone is by knowing the things they value most. To me, for the sake of keeping the slideshow to 8 pictures, I picked 4 basic things: religion, family, friends, and music. The first two slides depict something I had grown up with my entire life, something that my mind is ultimately shaped by. This is Judaism, my religion but more so my way of life. The two pictures contain a Torah, the “book” that serves as a guideline for a Jew’s entire life from the moment he wakes up in the morning to just before he closes his eyes to go to sleep at night. The second picture is of the Rabbi, or religious leader of my synagogue. He serves as an inspiration for me to better myself every day. I’ve been raised with a Jewish mindset and ideology and loving it so much, I will continue to live by it and pass it on to the children that I hope to have some day. Next on my list, the people who brought me to the place I am now and those who are responsible for everything that I am. My family raised me with the beliefs and morals that I now live by, and I don’t think I’ve turned out to be such a horrible person. Both pictures of my family were taken on a trip we took to Miami in the summer of 2012. My mom and dad, and my brother Tamir who is pretty much my best friend too since we are only a year apart, me being the older brother. I have a sister too, Seagal but I didn’t have any pictures with her and the rest of the family on facebook, so I went with the closest one. My house is always loud and busy and full of laughter because of each and every one of our vibrant personalities and I can’t wish for a better family than the one I have. Moving on to friends, I’ve already made so many friends that I believe will stay with me for the rest of my life. In the 6th picture I’m sitting with my best friend, no, my brother Daniel Janel who I met in kindergarten and although we split up after middle school, we saw each other at least once a week during our entire high school years. The 5th picture contains my high school brothers, and an imitation of the 3 girls in the picture on the left, who are also really close friends of mine. I see friends as people you can speak your mind to without fear of being judged, and they have truly served their purpose. Music came into my life a little later, but has shaped me nonetheless. I am a passionate guitarist with 3 years experience and it has added so much my life. I love rock and roll, the two pictures show me playing some great songs at my annual school talent show.

Although there are thousands of images that describe me, I have put together a group of ten images that, in my opinion, describe me the best. First I am going to start by talking about my family. Since  I couldn’t find a picture of my entire family i used one of my dad, brother and myself. My family is very important to me, throughout all my struggles, my family has stood by me and supported me through everything that I have ever done and and I can always count on them for anything. My friends are also very important to me. I have a close circle that will always be behind me pushing me through anything that I set my mind to. Although we argue like children, we are kinda like a family , always staying together through the toughest of times, fighting about little things. My interests in life include: Doing the best I can at whatever I do. I like to set high goals that; with hard work and commitment, I can accomplish to the highest extent. I love to be outdoors, sitting in a house on a nice day is not for me at all.I enjoy going to the beach and chilling outside with my friends. I love going to EDM events with my friends. I also loving partying on my boat, bringing the party wherever I please. One of the greatest moments of my like was when I graduated from North Shore High School and received my diploma. This was a special day for me because it marked the first day of my future. Graduating from high school made me realize that the real world is only a few months away and that my ‘childhood’ of carelessness and not having to worry about anything was soon going to be over. CREAM is my philosophy on life. Without money the world would not go round. Money is my motivation to succeed in life so that I can not have to worry about bills or expenses. It is also my motivation to do very well in school, because college is where it really counts and this is what is going to determine the rest of my future. I hope you all found my life to be very interesting.

In the slide show above you’ll find a few pictures I’ve mustered up to sort of “describe” myself so to speak. Although a couple of the photos probably speak for themselves, I’d say I picked those pictures since they showcase what I believe to be true as well as what I personally feel is important. An example would be the photo with me and a few of my old class mates; I think friendship is pretty important even though I look pissed off in the picture, I was just tired that day trust me(ahahaha yeah, no). Ever since I was a kid I had the mindset that I wanted to be physically strong not only mentally, that’s why I decided to show the picture of me as a kid trying to be a tough guy as well as a more recent picture of me at the gym with my cousins. The rest of the pictures should be easy to understand, hope you enjoy the presentation!

Kizoa slideshow: baruch blogSlideshow

                Out of all of the images in the world that I could have chosen to represent myself, I have decided to use recent personal pictures to show who I am as a person and what is important to me.  In two of these photos, my family is displayed: once supporting me at my graduation, and another from last Christmas.  My family is so important to me and I honestly don’t know who I would be without them in my life. They’re the only people that have consistently been in my life since birth, and I know nothing will ever break the bond I have with each of them. In another picture, I chose to show one of my best friends, Ardita, who knows me better than almost anyone and I can be totally myself with. The picture with a group of friends is the group I mostly hung out with in high school, and I’m so happy I met all of them, because high school wouldn’t have been the same without any of them.  I let the other 3 pictures represent my hobbies and interests.  My whole family is huge Giants fans and subsequently, I am as well, which is shown in the picture from when we won the Super Bowl in 2012. Music is my only passion in life and I literally (okay, maybe not LITERALLY) breathe it.  I chose to represent this with a picture of me with the guitarists of one of my favorite bands, The Maine, from this summer.  I plan on working in the music industry one day and one of my dreams is to travel with Warped Tour on the summers, which is why I chose a picture from when I worked at Warped Tour this summer.  Lastly, I chose a picture from when I went skydiving this summer to show that I love new and adventurous things, especially adrenaline pumping ones! Although this is only a glimpse of who I am, I think these 8 pictures show the most basics interests of my life and give a good idea of what means the most to me.
