Intro Blog

     Hey there, my name is Isabel Vera Martinez. I am currently a sophomore at Fort Lauderdale high school and I am 15. My favorite thing to do is Softball. I actually play softball for Fort Lauderdale and I also play for my travel team called the Gold Coast Hurricanes. I also enjoy science very much and I am thinking about pursuing a career in the medical field, however, I'm not necessarily sure what I specifically want to do yet or if I'm going to even end up pursuing something in the medical field. As a matter a fact, I actually have always been secretly interested in performing arts. For some reason deep down inside of me I was always some how drawn to idea of acting however, I never really put myself out there. At first I didn't even have AICE Media Studies, I never really even considered taking the class. Although some of my friends told me about it I just never really put my mind to it. When I wanted to change some of my classes around in the beginning of the year my counselor offered me to join Media Studies and explained what it was. So I said, sure why not, but as I kept thinking about it especially while writing this blog, I actually thought how this would help me. I thought that this class would probably help me with opening up my mind more and help me become more creative. In addition, I believe that this class may also help me dig a little deeper about the art of film and acting and see if I might actually enjoy it. Besides me secretly admiring acting and what not, I actually really enjoy reading, drawing and anything artistic even though I don't necessarily embody someone that would. I am actually a really strong-minded person and I always work hard for what I want. I always give 110% in everything that I do and I keep my priorities such as school, softball, and my family always on my mind. Some people find me intimidating in which I don't mind but I am also actually a really friendly person. I love spending time with my friends and family and I also appreciate the small things in life. Even though yes, I love materialistic things such as nice shoes or nice clothes but, I also love the tiniest things around us that life has to offer. I love helping my Tia Chili make Tamales, Chuchitos, and tacitos for celebrations on my Guatamalan side, and I love it when my Puerto Rican side has family gatherings so we can enjoy my abuelita's arroz con Gandules and Flan. Just being around my family brings me true happiness like no other and I would never trade it for anything else in the world.

The Final the meet up

 Today Esther and I finally met up and started to finish everything. I actually ended up staying at home because I had a softball game yesterday and I needed to rest. I had ended up doing school online but Esther was unable to come early in the day. Her mom had work and had to drop her father off at work. So instead of coming in the morning she came a little bit after 3 p.m. For some reason my computer was having trouble with the editing software and I had to fix it. Esther tried to resend me the parts that we had finished, but it still wasn't working. Throughout our time being together everything was loading very slowly. It took majority of our time to have everything downloaded and put together. Once again the editing software was giving us issues and the music didn't even load when she was with me. At one point Esther had to ask her mother for extra time because we weren't able to really make any progress in the first 2 hours we were together. When we did begin to edit a...

Unable to meet again

      This past week ended up being very busy for my partners and I. Again I am constantly busy with softball and once again have two games this week as well. When we don't have games we have the rest of the week to practice. Last week we had Friday off because it was a religious holiday (good Friday). Each of us had been busy because of the holiday and had to spend time with our family. Sunday was also Easter and which we were all busy with our family again and we had to celebrate. In addition, I was unable to basically do anything because my Family and I had to go to Miami to take care of my grandmother. We would stay there hours at a time and had to consistently visit her. This made us all unable to really do any filming or editing together. We also didn't end up communicating well because of our other plans. I have a busy week again due to softball and I have practice with my travel team on Saturday as well. We are starting to lose time and we real...
