The most difficult puzzle for my group in the breakout game was the directional lock puzzle. I believe this because we were given the wrong pieces to figure out the lock. Olivia as able to try and help me figure out the directional lock and even though we both tried our best, it was still very difficult. I contributed to my team by figuring out two puzzles and unlocking those two  locks. Each person was able to do something that they were good at because we each split up and did what we were best at the puzzles.

Cartoon Drawing

One thing I love to do in my free time is draw. I draw in a style that is my own, very cartoon animated style. I've taken my style from aspects of other drawings I like and parts that I figured out on my own. I love drawing because it is relaxing and you can make something from your mind come alive. If you can imagine something, then you can draw it.

This is one place where I learned to draw many things. It helped me learn how to draw with good step by step instructions.

This is the show that helped create my love for drawing and animating. Steven Universe helped me learn how to draw in a certain style and I take a lot of aspects of my art from their art.



These are examples of two of my art pieces

Filter Bubbles and LGBT Life Around the World

Filter Bubbles
A filter bubble is something that filters out things on the internet that an algorithm thinks you don't need. The advantages of a filter bubble is that you don't need to see stuff that doesn't apply to you. The disadvantages of a filter bubble is if you want to see serious issues, it's hard to find them with the filter bubble filtering it out. I have noticed filter bubbles when I google things that I need to find for school, but I can't find it on my phone.

One app I love is GBoard. It is an app that allows you to access the internet through your messages, add images and gifs quickly to your messages. It is helpful for finding things to send to your friends quickly through your messages.

One app I want to try is BandsInTown. This app shows you what bands are in town at the moment or coming to town in the future. It is helpful to know when your favorite bands are coming to town so you can buy tickets before they sell out.
