Main Character Description

My main character is named Amanda Watson. She is a 19 year old girl that is currently studying veterinary medicine at Cornell University. She comes from a wealthy family and is a bit of a snob, she was always top of class, had a lot of friends and her life seemed perfect. Amanda is tall; she has really long legs, brown hair, green eyes and a great bone structure, as her mother used to say. She is your typical pretty girl. Or was, one rainy afternoon Amanda decided to go out with some friends, surprisingly quickly, the weather changed from drizzle to a horrible storm. Amanda and her friends decided to go inside, they got to safe spot when she realized she had left her new Prada jacket behind, of course she went to get it, sadly she never got to it. Amanda woke up the next day on the Cayuga Medical Center, she was informed she had been struck by lightning. Now she had what she considered a really ugly scar all across her right shoulder all the way down to her fingertips. She later discover lighting hadn't only left a nasty scar, but also the ability to produce lightning bolts herself.

Character Description

I consider myself a bookworm, and choosing just one character is a very hard task for me. After a long time thinking, I finally had my final 3. Auri, a girl from the books The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s fear by Patrick Rothfuss, Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter. I had to choose Harry. Those books marked a huge stage of my life and to my eyes Harry is perfect. Harry Potter is this skinny boy, long messy hair, white skin. You probably wouldn’t notice him in a crowd, he doesn’t stand out. The only noticeable thing is his lightning-shaped scar and his beautiful green eyes. What makes him so special though, isn’t the outside. The way he always acts with bravery and puts his heart into everything he believes in makes you admire him, just like a true Gryffindor. 

2 Questions

Technological Advance:

I chose the internet as my technological advance. I think we really are so much better because of this technology; it helps us communicate with our loved ones that live far away, be able to get information that otherwise we couldn’t have access to before, a lot of new entertainment forms, etc. Of course it has some downsides; anyone can access the internet and put in there any kind of information that may be false or inaccurate.  Also in a lot of blogs and stuff like that you can write hurtful comments as an anonymous person and because of that get away with it. Everything can be good or bad and I think it’s really up to you how you use it.

Community Service:

On my previous school, 300 hours of community service were obligatory if you wanted to graduate. The first year of high school you didn’t get to choose what kind of community service you would be doing, but your second and third year you could if it had something to with what you want to study in college. I think community service is good because you get to help people, but like anything they obligate you to do sometimes you don’t like it. That’s why if they give you some options on how you can help maybe we would do it more eagerly.  I think that we could really help if we gave some classes to kinds that don’t have access to education, or maybe some conservational stuff. 

Community

If I could live in any community it would have to be New York. I have only been there once (and it was a long time ago) but I fell in love with the city since then. I know they say people aren't quite affable there, the high crime rate stuff and the fact that it's a very expensive place but I really don't care. Also, I think people always see the bad part about things, and places and people before seeing the good parts. Like, what about the nightlife of New York? The cultural places? The diversity of the people? Those are the reasons for which I would love to live in New York, well, the important ones. Other significant factors are the weather, for example. I think it's perfect because you get to wear really cute dresses in the summer and elegant coats on winter!

Community Photos

These are a few pictures that represent my community, the first one is a picture I took in "La Quinta." I think that place is a really iconic of Playa because everyone goes there on the weekend or when they have free time. It's also a very touristic part and what I don't like is that I'm starting to see a lot of stores from foreign countries and I would prefer to see more national stuff.

The las two are of the place I live in "Selvamar." I spend most of my time there and I love/hate the fact that it's in the middle of the jungle. I like that there are a lot of animals, but there's also a lot of bugs. There are millions of mosquitoes, and they really annoy me. Anyways, that's my community!
