Final Project Link

Hi everyone, this is the link of my multimedia project, this is the first time that I use Final Cut Pro to edit and cut video, so it is not that perfect, but I did my best. So hope you could look at it, and feel free to leave any common that you have. I really appreciate that.

The chosen picture portrays a six years old girl who is busy picking gourds during an early hour of the day.  A dim light and a rising sun are evident in her background which demonstrates that it is an early part of the day. Wearing a pink cap, the child appears prepared for the rising sun while she is profoundly busy and involved in the activity. The leaves of gourds are fresh; indicating that they have been recently picked. The child has a bucket at hand which demonstrates her preparedness for the gourds picking activity.

The caption of the picture informs that the girl’s name is Izzy Christiansen who is six years of age and has grand plans for the future. The farmed products are sold in the local market to deposit the savings in Izzy’s account; the purpose being to save for her future expenses or to provide her with a life experience like paying a visit to a country abroad.

In my opinion this is the best picture as it provides an insight into the level of dedication and work that is required to achieve an aim in life. The child is being taught to save her earnings from her early life. She is taught to get ready for work in early morning and participate in activities that are rewarding, not only for herself but also for the community as a whole. Lessons about practical life should be given right from the start of life in order to make them a habit for the growing children. Untitled

The most attractive and girl Lili in Journalism School

420507_457951677581572_1854014759_n

Lily, her full name is Zolboo Bayarmagnai,  is the only girl who comes from Outer Mongolia in Journalism school in the University of Oregon. She also takes multimedia as minor in the University of Oregon. She came to the United States in 2008. She felt a little nervous when she came to the United States because everything seems very new to her. However, very soon she became used to the life in America because people are very nice and willing to help her when she had problems. She chose a school in Seattle and studied in central community college there. When she just came to Seattle, she wondered why the rain in Seattle is so frequent, but soon she got used to it and found it very interesting when it rains.

After 2012, she transferred to the University of Oregon and began her new junior life. Because we are generally about the same age and have many interesting topic to talk, we soon became very good friends there. We have known each other for 6 years. In my opinion, she is an easygoing ,determined and happy person. She seldom gets angry and always gets on well with us. I still remember in one chemistry class, she and I are in the same team. When we were doing the chemistry project that the professor assigned for us, I became very annoyed because that is a really difficult project and we got no other information to help us. She went straightly to the teaching assistant’s office and asked for her help. After the teaching assistant provided us some useful tips, we finished the project before the deadline. She is very smart and determined in this decision making thing.

In our free time, we usually like to hang out and go shopping sometimes. She is always delightful and nothing can affect her good moods. It is very comfortable to be with her as everything seems so wonderful in her eyes. When We usually went out to watch movies on the weekends. We usually bought popcorn and coke. She loves movies and we often laughed and talked about the movies in the theatre. Both of us had a wonderful time there. What’s more, she is very interested in reading books. She usually does very well and can speak out some very new and inspiring opinions in the presentation talk.

After the graduation, she wants to become talk show host in the United States. When she went back to Outer Mongolia, she will begin her own personal talk show and I believe it will be really a big success there.  Back to her very early age, like when she was eight years old, she went to a Chinese school in Outer Mongolia and learned Chinese for 8 years. She is very interested in Chinese culture in the Chinese school and learned a lot of Chinese history there. She finished high school  in 2008 in Outer Mongolia. In my view, she is very good at writing, reading things, but she hates everything about math. She is a very inspiring person and can always bring the bright side to us.

College Student Pregnancy-Overview

 

According to the Wisconsin Financial Aid Study, 23% of college students in 2008 had more than one child, but a few students with children finished their college study within their six years in college. Hospitals and health care are not very well prepared for those who are pregnant. What’s more, only a few information is provided for pregnant students. College students who are pregnant find it difficult to get a comfortable off-campus housing. Estimates indicate that many pregnant students tend to drop out of school. However, young mothers can still achieve success and complish their dreams.1

Based on the survey, about 50% of college students have unexpected pregnancy. They do not have the plan that they will be pregnant in college. About three-quarters of the unplanned pregnancies are women who are young. Women who are not married and usually are in their 20s have not planned that they will be pregnant in college. Women who are not prepared to pregnancy occupy the largest proportion in the high income level.2

It is difficult for college students to graduate if they become pregnant. To some degree, the pregnancy affect the graduation rates. Students who are pregnant usually tend to drop out of school, which can affect their future work and income. They would become poor when they grow up. Pregnant students perform worse in the school courses and may fail a grade. 3

According to the survey, women who are in their twenties occupy the larger proportion of abortions in 2010. In the very early gestation, young women tend to take abortions. Most abortions in 2010 occurred in early gestation. More than 90% of abortions happen less than 13 weeks’ gestation. 4
