Imagining Music

At the first music, I felt like if I was on a river, then, a group of Indians came and started to build a village. While they were developing, they left behind the old style and became more civilized, and each time, they kept working on that village that later it returned into a city. The people doing the city were no longer Indians, but modern people. Then, the city was more sophisticated, modern, and civilized that it started to look as in the future. All was made of steel, the cars flied, and it all looked really, really strange, with robots, and advanced technology.



At the third music, I felt like if I was a farmer, in my farm feeding all my animals. In that moment I was feeding a pig who was in mud. I began to work hard on maintaining the farm clean, neat and nice. I heard the voice of my father who was on a horse ridding, I said him hello, but I had to keep working. I collect paja from the edges of the fence which were surrounding the farm. I put it where the chicken lay eggs, so she could be comfortable. At the end, I imagine my myself at the end dancing with all the animals happily because the farm was finally neat.



At the last music, I imagine myself in the Middle East, but at the same time in an Indian valley. There was a man singing on the middle of a sermon and we all danced around him. I was dressed all red with blue, and my face was painted with white. But then, the man started to burp for a long time, and that made us stop dancing. They had kicked out that man by lack of respect to a dragon which at that time we were worshiping. While they were firing him, they hire two other mans. They begin singing, and we danced as we were worshiping the dragon.

As we were worshiping the dragon, the sky returned black and the painted dragon that was on the ceiling had revived, flying all over the room. The people were really scared and ran everywhere because the dragon was eating everyone. While people escaped, they tripped into fire, and they burned everything, making it a chaos, all we all died.

Reflections

Well, what I think about the Teen Life Project is that it was really great, and it is very important to the people who learn about it because they received important statements of problems we are having around the world, stories that happened, and much more. It was a really good experience to me because we all worked as a group to research information, find the causes and the effects of many things, and lessons. The best part was when we convert all the information we research to a video. All the groups in some schools around the world are working to make this video good so all the people in the world watch it and learn important things, datas that they didn't knew, and much more. I think that this Teen Life Project is really good for everyone because it might change the way of thinking of whoever watches the videos we had made.

What I really didn't like was the researching of information, and worst because I hate to summarize the information. We had to pass the information into summarized into our blogs, then summarized it again into a wiki page, then we had to do the same thing but in our Google accounts… We had to do many steps. I didn’t like it so much because we had to summarized every time!

When we were making the video, I always made mistakes, I made the work more harder for Nora because I was always the one who had made mistakes in the video, so we had to repeat and repeat the scene. But we finally finished! Then we had some problems with the camera because the ..Camera was from Europe, so… Sorry because we hadn’t send the video… SORRY!!

TLP Project " Mother warns of drinking dangers"

A Mother called Wanda, warns all teenagers from all around the world to avoid alcohol, because of the experiences of her daughter Hayley, which started to drink at age 12 to 16. Then she got hooked at it.

Hayley at her addiction, took money from her paper-round; she bought eight cans of beer a day, and a bottle of Vodka to fund her habit. But now Hayle, living in Bloxwich, in the Black Country drinks about five cans at the day. Her Mother Wanda urged to say all the teenages around the world to avoid drinking alcochol. She says that you just don't even think about it. Don't do it. Hayley says she drank a couple of cans a couple of nights of the week.

Her grandmother's health was getting worse. As her nan's health deteriored, it did aswell her drinking habits. When it passed away her illness, Hayley drank 8 cans a day and a bottle of Vodka.

The teenager drank about Bloxwich cemetery, when her grandmother was buried. Hayley, at age 14 was considered an alcoholic. Hayle says she wants to beat up her addiction and is now a home-detox plan.

Hayley says its really hard to get over her addiction. She says that she would like to be a drug and alcohol counseller, when she gets her indepency. Her mother, besides keeping away alcochol as far away from her home, she warns all young people to keep away from alcohol. She wants to make realize how much damage alcohol can cause to people.

"Keep away from alcohol, just avoid it. Don't even try it," Wanda says, "you don't imagine what does alcohol causes to you. It damages you kidneys, liver, stomach, liver, etc, even to your brain, which drives you to the death."

In General, what I think of all this;

What I think of this topic, is that all kids around the world are each time
Are being introduced to the world of drugs. Each time, the age of this kids range really low down to 8 – years. Its really hard to think seeing children, teenagers, etc., driking and consuming drugs without permission of their parents. This issue is really abundant in the whole world, and everytime, more and more cases of teen drugaddicts are presented. This kids are affected by drugs because they might have been kicked out of home or either beaten from their parents, other kids, and much more things, which conduce them to consume drugs because they think that the drug will make them forget all their problems but instead, it make feel teenagers guilty of what they are doing, and everytime they keep in the world of drugs, they each time become addicts to drugs, which for them is really hard to get over them. But its not their fault. Are the people who surround them, who make their lifes impossible. These humans feel lots of pressure in using these drugs to forget everything. This children should have attention medically inmediatly!
