Family Tree and Reflection
This is my family tree. I don't know very many of my great grandparents but I know all of my grandparents brothers and sister and I know all of my aunts and uncles, either through marriage or blood. After researching now I was able to figure out most of my great great great grandparents on my mom's side of the family and several of my great great great grandparents on my dads's side.

==Maps and Reflections==

Barbados Map
This is the drawing of Barbados that I made after having only been there for about one week. It turned out ok but a lot of things are misplaced like for example the city. This tells me that I don't know very much about Barbados yet. I only know several locations and their general area.

World Map
This is my map of the world that I drew. The countries that I have lived in have names written for them. The states I visit most in the United States of America are represented. Also my Europe and Asia don't look that much like they should because I am not used to seeing them on a map. Meanwhile my U.S. does have a better shape because I have spent about half of my life there.

Timeline and Reflection
This is my timeline of my life so far. The main things in my life so far have been the places that I have moved to. Another thing that is important to me are my sisters so them being born is also mentioned.

Interview with Myself
This is my interview that I did with myself 20 years in the future. I think that my dad and his job greatly affected my career decision because I got to experience never being in one place for too long and I also met a lot of people that had jobs in the military so I think that that's why I will be in the army some day.

General Reflection
The things in my life so far that have been important in determining so far are mostly the times I have moved and where I have moved to. My sisters being born also changed things because I had to learn to share and compromise. Me living in latin countries and other places has also improved my level of spanish and my understanding of that culture. Also by asking my mom and dad about my family tree I leaned that my great grandfather from my mother's mother helped work on the Manhattan Project. My dad has put me where I am today because of his job thrrough the U.S. Embassy. media type="custom" key="7563011"

Home
This is a movie about the danger that our planet is in. It puts emphasis on the time it took to create these perfect conditions and the ways that we are slowly destroying Earth. The movie opens showing Earth as a volcanic rock in space with no atmosphere and no life. Over time bacteria and simple organisms begin to create oxygen and other gases that are essential for all kinds of life. The movie then progresses into showing us all the ways that we are upsetting the Earth's delicate balance today. It shows forests that have been destroyed, coral reefs that have been bleached, and species dying out at a rate 1000 times the rate threat they are supposed to be. The movie ends on a more optimistic note showing us how we are already beginning to make a small difference and how that if we could continue and strengthen this aid we will be able to save our planet. Unfortunately we only have 10 years though. 10 years before our planet is broken beyond all hope. 10 years before the human species begins to die out. I enjoyed all the aerial footage used in this movie and the fly overs of all the lush and breath- taking landscapes. I think that this video is as intriguing as it is effective in conveying it's point that we need to make a change in the way that we're treating our planet.

Among the first assignments that I have completed this year, this is one of them. It is a presentation about the Greek god of medicine Asclepius.

Reflection for Time Traveller's Manual & Essay On God's Existence
While I was writing about trying to prove the existence of God, I found that it was hard to write an objective report and make sure that it was balanced. On a topic of religion I believe that it is a very personal theme to most people and it means something different to everyone. I achieved great levels on my assessment so I am pleased with my performance. In the end I wrote about the different attempts of various people to prove the existence of God. I hope that I have shown an accurate history of the people who have tried to prove His existence. On the Time Traveller's Manual, I made an effort to have a uniform format with fonts and colors. It added to the neatness of it I believe. I was also satisfied with all of my information and my use of pictures. I got to the word count on all of my pages. In the end, I am satisfied with the level that I achieved.
