Holiday Card Project

(In memory of Delton Brown)

What is the Holiday Card Project?
The purpose of the Holiday Card project is to create holiday cards for people who are hospitalized during the holiday season. The idea behind the project is to simply try to bring a little cheer to those who are undergoing hospital stay.

Exactly who receives the cards?
The cards will be distributed to both U.S. and international hospitals. The cards will be delivered in person by a representative. The patients who receives the cards age in range from children to seniors and have illness or injuries that vary from mild to terminal.

What should write in a card?
Be as creative as you like. Just remember, the degree of illness for patients will vary, so it is important to be cheerful. Some suggested greetings include," Hope your feeling better", "Thinking of you", or "Have a nice day". Try to stay away from, "Get well soon" as it might not be appropriate for all patients. Remember to include a message of "Happy Holidays"

Will the patients know who sent the cards?
The only way a patient will know who the card is from is if you sign your name. If you would like to send your card anonymously, you may.

Can I send more than one card?
Absolutely! However, remember that quality is better than quantity. Sending one quality card that you put time and effort into is better than sending two cards

African Proverb #7

An intelligent enemy is better than a stupid friend.

I think this proverb means that you'd rather have an intelligent enemy than a stupid friend. I think this because when you have a stupid friend, you don't really learn anything from them. Your the smart one in this situation. You know everything.... so it's like your teaching them what to do. If you have an intelligent enemy, your learning stuff from them but you and your friend are both intelligent. When they do an act or do something and you never seen it... you'll learn it and study it just in case they do something like that again. You'll be a step ahead of them.
I agree with this saying because I would rather have a smart enemy( even though we're not as close) than a stupid friend. I'll feel better in both situations because with the stupid friend... I'm teaching them something and with the intelligent enemy.... I'm also learning something.

African Proverb#6

"It is better to be Loved than Feared"

This Proverb to me means that you'd rather have someone love you than someone to be afraid of you. You would rather your family love you than be frightened by you because you'll need them sooner than you think. You really don't want your family members on your bad side because you'll eventually need something from them. You'd never want to walk in a house and ask for something and right off the bat they say "NO" because they're scared of you. You don't want to go to bed at night knowing that everyone is against you. You'll rather want to lay down at night knowing that everything is okay.

This Proverb will help me in everyday life because I'll show love to them and when I do..... I know that I'll always get love back. I'll respect them and make sure that I do everything right the first time and make not one MAJOR mistake. If I make a MAJOR mistake..... I know that they'll never be able to trust me the way they did before. My trust will be gone and they will be scared of me. When people are scared of you they really don't want to be near you. They'll stay away from you and you'll be lonely.

Extra Money

"If you had an extra $100,000 dollars to give away, you can not spend it on yourself. What would you do with the money?"

If I had an extra $100,000 dollars to give away honestly...... I would give $200 to my Mom and $200 to my Dad so they can at least pay some of their bills and if they have extra they can spend it on their self. They can have some pleasure time to their selves too. I would give $200 to charity(which includes the homeless too). I would give my Grandma(Sugar Momma) $200 so that she can pay her bills(even though she's retired)then make her go out somewhere exciting like a cruise. After that, I would put the rest away for college.

The reason why I gave $400 away to my Mom and Dad is because they helped me out a lot. Took took care of my sisters and I. They strained their selves sometimes they need some alone time. They need to relax. The reason that I gave $200 to charity is because there are some people out there who don't have what I have. They have worse than I do. The reason why I would give $200 to my Grandma is because she worked her whole life and she really needs some alone time. The last reason why I would put some away for college is because IU took care of everything else. Now if I get a scholarship to college I will still put some away.

African Proverb#5

"The fool speaks, the wise person listens".
I think that this Proverb means that the people who act foolish are the ones who are always talking and running their mouth. The people who are wise are the ones who just listen to what they say. They don't really follow what they do... they just listen and observe how they act. I feel that a wise person knows when someone else is the fool. A wise person knows when to clown around but they also know when not to. A fool just thinks just because they laugh at you once.... that don't mean they will always laugh.

African Proverb #4

"One camel does not laugh at another camel's hump"

I feel that this Proverb means that a person should not laugh at another person's mistake. In fact, it's pretty rude to ridicule another person. In addition, you don't know how your making that person feel. In addition you don't know what they go through at home and your treating them like they are less than you. They might need a friend to count on and your treating them wrong. To sum it all up.... just treat people the way you would want them to treat you.

African Proverb #2

"Cross the river with a crowd and the crocodile won't eat us". What does the Proverb mean to you? How can you use it in your everyday life? Give an example.

I feel that the Proverb "Cross the river with a crowd and the crocodile won't eat us" means that when you work together using teamwork you'll get the job done. For instance, when you work alone (independently) you won't get everything done. You won't get it done in time. In fact when you work together in a group, you'll everything done in no time. I can use this Proverb in everyday life by learning how to work with others. Clearly, I'll learn how to no only depend on just myself but others too. The problem is that I'm so use to working alone that when someone offers to help me I refuse it. Although I know that if they help everything will be okay. Maybe I'll learn that if someone offers to help me and I need help I would accept it.

African Proverb

"Knowledge is better than riches". What does that African Proverb mean to you? How can it be used in your everyday life? Give an example.

I feel that the African Proverb "Knowledge is better than riches" means that your education is way more important than money. For example, you can have all the money in the world but not know anything. Just because you have more money than someone that doesn't mean your better than them. In fact the person with the money won't be the one getting the good job. The boss won't want to hire the dumb one. Maybe the rich person thinks just because they have more money than the person with knowledge they will get the job. As a result they will be the one without the job because even though they can go everywhere and buy everything they still don't have any knowledge. Furthermore, money doesn't mean anything if you don't have a brain to go with it. Clearly knowledge is MORE important than money.

PSSA

I believe that I did excellent on the PSSA. I know that I got a few questions wrong but other then that I think I did excellent. For instance, the multiple questions for the math and reading were very easy. I didn't expect the multiple questions to be that easy! The opened ended questions for math were a little complicated. I didn't get them at first but then when I thought about it and took my time, I realized how easy it was. In fact, the open ended questions for reading was so easy. Even though I know that I got some questions wrong on the reading it was still easy. They were tricky but not hard.
Maybe the reading questions were a little hard but not as hard as the math questions. Most of the reading questions were just asking to give examples to support your response but the math was asking to explain and show your work. Some of the problems you really didn't have to show your work but you have to in order to get the highest grade possible. Futhermore I just really wanted to show ALL my work and make sure I did what the question was asking me. I didn't want to get a low grade because I forgot a word or did'nt do what the question was asking me.Clearly I was trying to get the highest grade on ALL of them. I wanted to get an ADVANCE on math and reading.
I wonder if I got ALL my questions. I would get an advance in both math and reading. All the teachers in New Media Technology Charter School helped me study for the PSSA. I really want to thank Mothura Cariann the most. She realy put her all in teaching us. Some stuff we got on point and others we needed a little more work on it. If I do get an advance on both I'm going to be so happy. I would be so proud of myself for trying my best. Even if I get a profficient on one I would still be happy because I tried my best even though I know I could of tried harder. In short I know that I didn't get a basic or below basic because I KNOW I TRIED MY BEST and I put my ALL in it! I feel that I did do EXCELLENT!In addition Thank You everyone!

What the Brain Sees!

the brain most quickly and easily responds to FOUR major attributes of all viewed objects:color, form, depth, movement.

COLOR
Every color use can be made with three basic, primary colors-Red, Green, Blue AKA RGB
Secondary colors in light are formed when 2 primary colors are mixed together. When mixed equally, red and blue light will make magenta. Green and red will make yellow. Blue and green will create cyan. AKA CMYK.
Extra Credit
For printing you would use CMYK because it's more colors. On the web you would use RGB because it makes the file size smaller.

FORM
Another common attribute of images that the brain responds to is the recognition of form. Form defines the outside edges and internal parts of an object and has parts: Dots, Shapes and Lines
Dots: The dot is the simplest form that can be written. Hundereds of small dots grouped together can form complex pictures. Georges Seurat and other pointillist artist in the nineteenth century used a tecnique called pointillism.
Lines
When dots of the same size are drawn so closely together that there is no space between them, the result is a line. Lines wether straight, curved, or in combination, evoke an emotion.
Moods of a Line
1.Curved lines convey a mood of playfulness and movement.
2.If lines are thick annd dark, their message is strong and confident.
3.If lines are thin and light with a clear seperation between them, their mood s delicate, perhaps a bit timid.

SHAPES
The third type of form, shapes, is the combination of dots and lines into patterens. The three basic shapes parallelagrams, circles and triangles.

DEPTHS
If humans had only one eye and confined their visual message to drawings on the walls of caves, there would be no need for complex illustrations. But because we have 2 eyes set slightly apaprt, we naturally see in three rather than 2 dimensions.

MOVEMENT

Reconizing movement is one of the most important traits in the survival of an animal. There are four types of movement:real, apparent, graphic, and implied.
1.Real Movement: It is actual movement by a veiwer or by some other person or object.
2.Apparent Movement: Apparent, or illustrating, movement is a type of motion in which stationary objects appear to move. The most common example of this type of movement is a flip book.
3.Graphic Movement: Can be the motion of the eyes as they scan an area or the way a graphic designer positios elements so that the eyes move throughout the layout.
4.Implied Movement: Is a motion that a veiwer precevies in a still, sinlge image without any movement of object, image or eye. Optical or op art has been used in advertisements and in posters to achieve pulsating results. Visual vibration is the term use for the images.
