8:14 AM Break, Plans and the Summer.

My spring break was really stressful and tiring, we had 5 - 6 hour rehearsal everyday of break, and for three days out of my break I had to work my shift right after my rehearsal. We are working hard preparing our show for Spanish Night. My plans for the rest of the school year is to finish strong and figure out where I am going to college. I'm scared for finals because they'll be my last finals and I have a few grades to pick up other than that I'm not so worried about the rest of high school. During the Summer I'll continue to work, and hopefully find a job on campus, if not I'll keep my current Job. I am auditioning for the Ensemble Espanol Youth Company, along with three other members of Ritmo Espanol so that we can become better Dancers! I'm preparing myself to transition out of High School and into College. I also lost my phone during break, but it's okay because I got a new iPhone instead.

Smart Watches?

Apple, Google and Samsung are once again in an arms race to create the next new thing. They are all now trying to create a smartwatch. Smart Watches have had numerous failures over the years, but is the world finally technologically advanced enough for us to handle smart watches? The question is how will the consumer react to it. Tablets weren't anything new when Apple introduced the iPad, and when Samsung introduced it's galaxy tab. Google is also set to launch their new Glass Headsets. These headsets will make it possible for you to look up at a tiny screen above your eye to check text messages, look at emails, and use other social media devices. Will these devices be flops, or new ways of the world?

8:36 AM How was my weekend?

My Tattoo a few hours after it was completed.

The newest addition to my ink collection is the quote "Break the rules, Stand apart, Ignore your head and Follow your heart." on my outside of my right forearm. I got this tattoo on Saturday night, and it took half an hour to complete. The artist took his time to make sure all my lettering was perfect.The significance behind this quote is that you should never be afraid to follow your gut, and to be an individual rather than a follower in the crowd. No one should be able to tell you who you are and what you'll become, you have to find that for yourself. I got the quote done in the Font Edwardian Script because it's clean, simple and eye pleasing. This tattoo is one of the biggest I've ever gotten, it extends from my elbow joint to the very end of my wrist, and it was a very tight squeeze, however it was just able to fit. 

8:46 AM The Arrow Tattoo

My 7th Tattoo will be an arrow my the outer left side of my left wrist. The arrow will symbolize strength playing a little bit of irony since my left hand is not my dominant hand. The arrow also is a symbol of myself. When life pulls you back, just like a bow pulls an arrow back, you will only be shot farther and get stronger. Similar to the quotes No Pain No Gain, or When one door closes another one opens. When you go through something, you'll only get more out of it. Arrows also always move forward which is a sign of growth and forward-looking. 

7:48 AM Import Things That Students Should Know in High School?

The single most important thing that students should know to be successful in high school is achieving balance. High school essentially is a small taste of how the real world works. When in high school you shouldn't just focus on school, you should try to do some extracurricular activities such as sports, clubs, or even get a job. Learning how to balance different responsibilities and develop time management skills will help you later on in life. You should also put some effort into developing your social life, even if you're a shy person having friends and interacting with other people will also help you later in life. Eventually in the workplace you'll need to interact with people you like or dislike and learning the social ins and outs while you're young will help you significantly. Ultimately balancing day to day activities and adding more things to your agenda will help you develop a variety of skills that will help you be successful in not only high school but in your future.

7:41 AM Android Dominates Phone Markets in 2012

The world renowned Android operating system climbed to the top of the world phone market in the year 2012. Android handset were 68.8% of all phones sold during the year. Toppling phone technological super powers Apple, Blackberry, and Windows. Some reasons behind the big surge in the popularity of Android handsets were the hundreds of different phones that android was available on, while Windows Phone, Apple and Blackberry were only available on few select models. Apple also released on one new handset last year which dropped the prices of the iPhone 4 and 4s models, which made them more appealing to customers. Samsung sold 384.6 million phones in 2012 which contributed greatly to Androids rise to the top of the markets food chain.

"Tough economic conditions, shifting consumer preferences and intense market competition weakened the worldwide mobile phone market this year," Gartner analyst Anshul Gupta said in a statement."

8:04 AM All Boys or Co-Ed

Throughout history, the societal roles of men and women have remained the same for the most part. The man is greater and the woman is lesser. In our society today, that is increasingly changing. Women in the workplace, women presidential candidates, and more women in what used to be men's positions. Our high school used to be an all boys school and not until 2002 became a co-ed school. I think that transitioning into a co-ed school is a good decision. With both genders present in the school we learn how to adapt and how to live with everyone. This also prepares us for life, by letting our natural emotions and feel show. As opposed to an all men's or all women's institutions where the absence of the opposite sex handicaps you because you don't know how to socialize with people of that gender by working with them. The workplace is not all one sex, both sexes are present, so why would you go to school in which you have to essentially work while only learning how to work with other people that is of the same gender as you.
