Quote Of The Day

"We all leave our footprints in the concrete, but the question is, will we all be a great heal or a great soul." -Ty Knowlden


Well, this quote really askes you, what are you going to be known for. Is it because your creative, observant, talented or other things your related to. I wrote this quote more than 2 years ago. So far others like it. Will you?


I'm gonna ask you. What are you famous for. Are you going to be a great heal. Or a great soul. You see, anytime we step on concrete, or sand you know immediantly your leaving behind a foot print which assembles you. People would say, hey that's ______, because you did something incredible. I'm using that expression just for a example to give you an idea of what I mean.


Right now, I include another quote by the Usher colonge company and they have a great quote that I totaly like.


"It's not how famous you are, it's what your famous for." -Usher


So the question remains, are you going to be a great figure to the world? Are you going out of your box and to a good comfort zone to show yourself to the world. If your artistic, just keep on drawing, and painting. If your really good at music, compose music, sing, and play play. Anything your good at, go out there and see if you can make a difference.

For example, like a man like me. I'm artistic, creative, and naturaly talented. So I'm going to college and majoring in design and art. I'm autisic, but I was much worse when I was young. Using visual things I can understand, not with words that much. But this year I've really improved and I'm now looking around to find other people who are autistic and hoping to let their parents know that there is always hope for their kids to make a bigger difference.


That's what I mean. So will you be a great heal, and a great soul?

Autism Topic

After doing some research for this topic. I find out the most recent reviews estimate a prevalence of one to two cases per 1,000 people for autism, and about six per 1,000 for ASD, with ASD averaging a 4.3:1 male-to-female ratio. The number of people known to have autism has increased dramatically since the 1980s, at least partly due to changes in diagnostic practice.

Autism affects many parts of the brain; how this occurs is poorly understood. Parents usually notice signs in the first two years of their child's life. Early behavioral or cognitive intervention can help children gain self-care, social, and communication skills. There is no cure. Even within the first several years autism was discovered, parents of the autistic child never knew, and harmed their children by the cause of no responds, lack of the kids actions and the way the kids move. Few children with autism live independently after reaching adulthood, but some become successful.

This disability is distinguished by a pattern of symptoms rather than one single symptom. The main characteristics are impairments in social interaction, impairments in communication, restricted interests and repetitive behavior. Other aspects, such as atypical eating, are also common but are not essential for diagnosis.

Here are some characteristics from autism:

• The first characteristic is Stereotypy which is involved with purposeless movement, such as hand flapping, head rolling, or body rocking.
• Second is Compulsive behavior which is intended and appears to follow rules, such as arranging objects in a certain way.
• Another is Sameness which is resistance to change; for example, insisting that the furniture not be moved or refusing to be interrupted.
• Last is Ritualistic behavior which involves the performance of daily activities the same way each time, such as an unvarying menu or dressing ritual. This is closely associated with sameness and an independent validation has suggested combining the two factors.

In this case, for me, the part of autism I have is based on communication. To tell you the truth it's not easy to understand but its possible. About a third to a half of individuals with autism do not develop enough natural speech to meet their daily communication needs. The differences in communication may be present from the first year of life, and may include delayed onset of babbling, unusual gestures, diminished responsiveness, and the desynchronization of vocal patterns with the caregiver. In the second and third years, autistic children have less frequent and less diverse babbling, consonants, words, and word combinations; their gestures are less often integrated with words. Autistic children are less likely to make requests or share experiences, and are more likely to simply repeat others' words. So its really serious for lots of kids just like me.

Joshua 1:8-9

Joshua 1:8-9

Bible Verse: Joshua 1:8-9

"This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall be successful. I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous, do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
-Joshua 1:8-9

These two verses, I learned from someone most of you people might have heard of. Mike Sweeney First Baseman of the Kansas City Royals and All-Star Game MVP. About 2.5 years ago he temporary moved to Gig Harbor and met my grandparents and they mentioned me because they knew I was a baseball fanatic and Mike wrote a note that had Joshua 1:8-9 verse written and his Herbie Hancock. Just kidding, but this verse gives a great message to anybody who should never be scared and dismayed. Always keep the LORD with you and you guys will always be like peas and carrots together for life, everywhere you go.

Anyways, this verse is in my top 5 favorites in the Holy Bible. So, be prosperous, strong, and successful.

Wellington, New Zealand

As soon as I think about leaving for New Zealand for college, the more I feel to be more than prepared to begin something brand new and something I've never done before. I know, it costs a fortune. I will be attending "Wellington Institute Of Technology," in Wellington. I do know for a fact I would absolutely like to take a huge tour around the areas where Lord Of The Rings were filmed at.

New Zealand is best known for its landscape beauty. It is.

I also learned Wellington City has relatively more people aged from 20 to 34 than in other areas, and has relatively fewer elderly people and fewer children. Wow, more young people. Then after doing some research about Wellingtons I learned that the most people from other areas from the world is more Europeans.

Lastly, it's also called "The Creative Capital," because ever since The first installment of "Lord Of The Rings Trilogy," there has been more Americans and other international students who wanted to attend school and experiance New Zealand. Lastly, Wellingtonians are creative and innovative people, many of whom are having an impact on the world stage. There are some of the most iconic and well-loved Wellingtonians such as Peter Jackson known as the Director of "LOTR," and "King Kong," along with Richard Taylor whom worked aside with Peter in all films, and many more people in creative design.

Thats the reason why I decided to give this a try. See where it takes me.
