My Love for Computers and Technology!

Computers and Technology!



Computer and Technology are getting more advance each year. Most of our parents cannot keep up with Today's technology like this generations does. My love for computer and technology was first introduced when I first start high school. When I got to use the computer and create things on Adobe Photoshop and I thought to myself was "I LOVE COMPUTERS!!! IT IS SO AMAZING!!" Since then I wanted to learn more about computers and to be able to work with them as a career in the future. I think I had loved technology since I was young because I use to want the latest electronics that came out and I was able to figure out how to hook things and make them work.

Now today my parents ask me for help on anything that involves electronics or technology. When I learn something new in one of my computer class I tell them about it and they would be like "Ok Sharday, I don't understand a word you just said but I am proud that you understand what you are talking about." Right now I am pursuing a degree in Information Technology, which is my dream to get. I want to learn everything about computers and Today's technology as much as I can. I want to be able to keep up with today's technology. I want to be able to fix computer problems and work with the network. Someday I hope that I can be able to do everything that the woman on Criminal Minds knows how to do. She is able to hacking into other system, pull up other people information and everything else. My love for technology is so strong that I want to have the latest technology in my house and on me.

 Currently I decided to focus on Network Systems which is something that also interesting to me. Previously I have tried to do computer science, which is more involved with computer programming. In computer programming you have to create programs that do certain things. Most with that focus you will be create software and stuff like that. That's is not what I am interested on doing or what I want to focus on. I want to focus on more of the hardware itself. So now I am about to learn how to solve computer problems and learn how to fix them as well, which is exactly what I want to do. Additional to that I am also going to learn about Network Systems, which is going to kind of be new to me. I haven't really experienced too much with network but knowing myself I probably have and know a little bit about networking. By next year or sooner I want to be a computer technician or even something more higher then that. I also want to learn about Mainframe, what it is? How it works? Pretty much everything. Hopefully I will be graduating next year in 2014 with my Bachelor's degree in Information Technology - Network System Administrations! I am proud of myself that I am following my dreams. My mind is wide open to gain more knowlege about computer and technology. Hopefully someday I would be helpful to someone with my computer skills and knowledge. It is crazy how much technology is so involved in our everyday life, which I love every bit of it. There is not a day that goes by that some kind of technology is involved in each one of our lifes. And you know what that in the future it is going to be more advance more then every.

as we forgive

we went over ms laura house to watch the movie as we forgive. i really liked the movie because it shows even the people that has been hurt the most by others can still find it in there heart to forgive people. and that movie made me realize that i need to stop being so unforgiving. i would highly recommend the movie. the only thing i didn't like about it is that they was talking extremely fast and also the subtitles were also fast and you would have to close attention to the tv set!!!!

we watched war dance the movie

yesterday we watched war dance the movie and it toucheed my heart. half of the movie of about this school who was praticeing for a huge perforomance with 20 thousand other schools. this was the first time they ever performed in a compotition. the other half of the movie was about th e childrens lives and how they liveed and how they washed them selves and kept there selves clean and feed. my favorite part was when they won the compotion and it was there first time competing.

wardance was a enlightening movie!

i liked the movie wardance because it shows that life is not a fairytale and you should be thankful for what you have and live for the moment. my favorite person in the movie was nancy because she shows that you can overcome from lifes hardships and you can triumph if you have some morale left inside of you and hers was dancing.

War Dance

Yesterday we went to Ms. Laura's house to watch a movie call War Dance. In the movie "Northern Uganda has been at war with a rebel force for the past twenty years. The Lord's Resistance Army (L.R.A), and the country's children has been the greatest victims of the conflict. But here, the children are not only victims of the rebels, they are the rebels. The L.R.A has a chillingly effective process to fill its rank - abducting innocent children. Children - young as five are ripped from their bed in front of their helpless parents. Once abducted, the children are forced at gunpoint to viciously beat or kill neighbor, and sometimes even their own parents. Each child has their own story. The Patongo Primary School students pour their into winning this year music competition." The movie touch me because each child has a story to tell how they saw their parents, sibles, and other relatives killed, and as they live on without their parents, they dance and sing for their future, and for their homeland. It was sad how they told their story on how they had to kill their parent or their parents killed in front of them. But its a great movie, to see how children dance and sang for the homeland and to win. You can look at the trail of the movie, the link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2saj4gJ4Lvw

yesterday we went to george washington univeristy for a a youth summit. i did not know what they were saying because they was talking to fast and to low. but other wise i had fun.when it was over we was on th roff of the building and was talking then after that we went to the edge and saw the lady who was a representativs for obama and we was screaming to her saying OBAMA ALL THE WAY and she responed to us and she THAT'S RIGHT.

my day at the youth summit was very interesting. we saw different cultures and colleges talking about whats relevant to them at times it was relevant to us. we had fun because herman and sharday kept making me laugh. then we had some great food and we heard some great music!

On July 21, 2008

Yesterday we went to the Tri-Caucus Youth Summit in George Town. To me it was boring. It felt like it wasn't for my purpose of going there. I think it was for college student because they kept saying college student or college graduates. SO I think that it wasn't info to me directly. SO I didn't like it. I didn't pay attention what they was saying at all until the end, when the representatives of Obama, and McCain was talking. The thing took so long it started at 3:00 and ended at 6:30. I wish that we left early because no one was hardly pay them any of attention at all. We could've been doing something else beside going to that thing. We could've been on the computer and learning something new or working on something. But the good thing was that we got out and that's what I like when we go out sometime instead of staying in the Gatepost all day.

hanging out with Ms. Laura at her home

yesterday we went to Ms.Laura house it is big and beautiful. we had a cookout. we cook a lot of food such as grilled chicken, salad, cantaloupe, mango,deviled eggs, ice cold lemonade and banana pineapple smoothie. we played basketball and Sharday was doing good until i came out to play her in a game. when i came out she start to miss all her shoots and i won the game.then we met her family her brother JC ,and David and there friends JD, and Nathan. we met her mom and dad they were awesome Ms. Morna and Mr.Chris. then we walked her dog name Corky. After that we played pool and my team won.

Our Day At Ms. Laura's House

Yesterday we went to Ms. Laura's house to have a cook-out. Her house is beautiful and she is selling it. Her dad is an architect and is designing there new house. When we first got there we played pool and had a cup of banana, coconut flavor, and pineapple smoothie.Then we helped cooked dinner. We fix the salad, cantaloupe, and devil eggs. We also had chicken, and Raspberry Lemonade. Before we ate we shot some hoops in her back yard. Then after we ate we walk their dog Corky around the block. We had so much fun. After we came back from walking the dog we went down stairs. I played some more pool. While we was there we met her brother JC, and David, and their friends Nathan, JD. Her family is so nice to us. We told Ms. Laura that we like to spend the night at her house some time, she said we could. After I played pool I went back outside to shot some more hoops by myself. I was shooting good shots until Herman came outside and then I started missing my shots. We was having so much fun that we didn't want to leave. We told he that we want to leave her house at 7:00 and we did. Before we left her house we had another cup of smoothie but there was no more banana, so we just had a pineapple smoothie. Then we left. Ms. Laura dropped us home and made sure that we was safe in our house. I will never forget how much I had fun. I would love to do this again any time.

Anacostia Museum

Yesterday we went to the Anacostia Museum on Morris Rd SE. I thought that the museum was big on the inside but it wasn't it was small. The museum showed the history of Anacostica area. We saw an old picture of Barley Farms and everything. It was interesting because I was familiar with the picture and where they was tooken. I grew up in SE all my life so basically I know where everything. While we was looking around in the museum we took pictures. After the museum we went to say hi to Sherrita and see her god-daughter. She was so small, she only weighted 6 pounds. Then after that we went to Anacostia Park and did stop-motion on the playground. Yesterday was fun!!!

Shaken Baby Syndrome

Earlier today I read about Shaken Baby Syndrome. I read a story of a child who is victim of Shaken Baby Syndrome, his name was Christian. Shaken Baby Syndrome is the vigorous shaking of an infant or young child. Shaking makes the fragile brain bounce back and forth inside the skull and causes bruising, swelling, and bleeding, which can lead to permanent, severe brain damage or death. Christian was born on June 9, 1996 and he passed away on May 1, 2003. When Christian was 4 months old, he was crying because he didn't feel well. His father got mad because he wouldn't stop crying so he shook him really hard back and forth. Christian stop crying, the father laid him back down and the crib and went to take a shower. Christian's mom wasn't home, she was at work when this all happen. He was taken to the hospital when his mom came home. The doctors thought that he wasn't going to make it though the night. After 23 days he was sent home. He stayed with his mom and grandparents. Christian was left with many serious health problems. He was blind, couldn't talk or walk, can't eat by the mouth, brain stem was twist, body temperature uncontrollable, his cognitive (thought process) was destroyed, had congestive heart failure, needs oxygen 24 hours a day, serve osteoporosis, hips displace, cerebral palsy, seizures (about every one minute), Intermittent gag reflex (When swallowing sometime it goes down the lungs), and he takes 30 medication a day. That summarize Christian's story. When I first started reading the story I stop and had a sad face and I didn't want to continue, but I did. To prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome never, ever shake a baby no matter how much you get frustrated or how much it cries. So if you have a child please don't harm the baby in any kind of way especially shaking them. Even though you think its not hurting them, treat them with love and care, and be gentle because remember they are fragile.
