My Hidden Self Reflection

My image shows my alter ego through a variety of pictures and brushes. The waterfall and the sunset show my soft side and my interest with nature. While on the other side, the balloons and the bright radar colours by the airplane show my fun and outgoing side. This variety of pictures shows who my hidden self is and my dreams and passions such as architecture which is displayed with the picture of the pencil, the compass and the house in the back round. I believe my most successful part of my image is my and the house. I believe I did a good job feathering and using opacity to make it look like my photo fits good in the image. Also, I believe that the house is a good opacity and fits right in. The least successful I think would be the compass. I don't think it fit the image correctly. To improve my picture, I would add more pictures with a variety of sizes to make the picture more unique and detailed.

My Hidden Self

Five interesting things that most people don't know about me are:
1. I am a very outgoing person. At school i seem more reserved, but when I'm at home or with friends I am a lot more outgoing.

2. I love to learn about the weather. I always pay attention to the weather systems in our country and can predict when certain storms will hit our area by reading the weather data available.

3. I love to draw and design houses. I plan on being an architect when i go off to school next year. In my spare time i design houses on a program I have at home.

4. I like to write about my life and my goals in life in a journal at home. It helps me to get my thoughts on paper and out of my head. Also it allows me to look back at it and know what i was thinking or doing in the past.

5. I love waterfalls. My favourite place to be is near the water and especially Niagara Falls. I love the sound of them and the way they look. They are so peaceful and calming.

Three things that my friends would say about my personality:

1. My friends would say my personality in fun. I love to have fun and live life in the moment. We always have fun and there is never a dull moment when me and my friends are all together.

2. My friends would say my personality is also protective. If people are in danger or in need, I will be like a mother and help them. I don't like to leave stuff messy or making a mess of someone else's place, so if there is one, I'm most likely to  help them clean up if they want help (dishes from a dinner, or chairs at a campfire etc.).

3. My friends would say my personality is layed back. I have a sense of humor and don't over exaggerate things. I go with the flow and try and make sure everyone I'm with is having fun and getting along.

Something I would like to change about my self is how busy I am. When someone asks me to help them with something or to volunteer, I have a hard time saying no. I don't usually have a lot of time to myself, in which I wish I had.

My five biggest goals/ dreams:

1. One of my goals is to become an architect or a drafter.

2. Another one of my goals is to build my own house in the future/ and or other peoples houses.

3. Another one of my goals is to fly in an air plane. I'm not afraid of flights, but I am terrified of a plane crashing or being hijacked.

4. A goal I have, is to learn as much as possible about architecture without going over board. I love knowing all kinds of info, but find myself being taught stuff that has no relevance to what I want to become in the future.

5. Finally, my last goal is to be myself and not change because someone doesn't like me.

Finally, my hidden self is an outgoing, fun person who likes designing houses and leaning about the weather. I dream about flying to France and travelling to places with waterfalls.
