*Samantha C.:I liked it a lot!! it was really cute, it was really well put together and the music was really mellow which I thought was appropriate for the video :]...I also just really like the song xp
*Kate (from other section): I liked it
but i was curious about your song choice, you make it sound like your life is a "Dirty Little Secret"
which I can see being true..you and your secrets...but please dont stop the music seemed kind of random lol
*Kati:You and your sisters are like so adorable the three of you have amazing voices the song you did was really good, I liked it a lot
you all are gonna be like the female version of the Jonas Brothers lmao..maybe better lol
I thought your video was really well put together with the songs and everything good job! 8-D
*Esther: I love the song you sang with your friend, I will follow you into the dark, i was literally listening to it like minutes before i saw the video!
i liked how you ended it the video, i had trouble ending mine it was sort of abrupt but yours was a good ending. Overall it flowed really nicely and it came out really well! 8-D
*Chloe:I think the video reflected really well on your life. your video was really mellow and simple which I liked because that seems to be how you live your life. i also liked the song you used :]
Something to think about...
Something I noticed in all of the videos its that everyone included friends, and I guess at the age we are at friends are an important aspect of our lives, they entertain us in class (Chloe's) they are with us when we try to make some of our most important accomplishments (Esther's)and generally they are there for many memorable moments in our lives. Because our family isn't always there, physically (they can't really come to school with us now can they?and would we really want them to?)our friends are there to keep us company and we keep them company while we "jump the hurdles" together, avoiding trouble and/or making accomplishments that we choose to make. We make goals and attempt to reach them together. Is that the American way of life as a teenager? The way I look at it yes, because we are forced to go to school by our families this is how most Americans would deal with it, by making friends.

My Way Of Life
In this video I included some aspects of my life that I thought were meaningful. Some of these include, my interests, what I like to do, those who influence me, and those who play a big role in the life I am currently living in. These aspects relate to how I live my life especially as an American, it reflects some of my values and beliefs.
Some positives about the aspects of my life are being able to do the things I enjoy doing like, drawing, dancing, volleyball, or hanging out with my friends and being able to have people in my life who influence me and advise me when needed. Some bad things are having to choose between the things and people who are positive aspects of my life or being faced with problems that prevent me from being able to do the things I enjoy.
Some things I would like to have included in the video were, a few specific things that I do in my every day life such as, watching TV or being on the computer because those things seem more realistic for me to put because I do spend a lot of time doing those things. Or maybe include some things from school since I spend a lot of time my at school.

A general pattern I notice in my life is based around groups of people. In Volleyball, I'm on a team, in performances, it's a group of with other performers, I always have family there for me, and I always have my family with me. The only thing I do on my own is sketching. I'm not sure where the direction of my life is going, which is basically what the song in the video is saying.
I think the way i life is similar to the typical American way of life because, just like any other American teenager, I have my friends, my family, my school, and my interests but I live it in my own special way with other specifications that might not be the American way of life. For example, my father is a musician, which I am completely pround of, whereas I would imagine as the American way of life being a father as a businessman. Or living the in the middle of the city and going to a small liberal school. What makes the way I live different from the American way of life is that I do not live in the suburbs, I do own a car but I personally do not use it frequently.
The good and bad things in my way of life fit together because the bad is mostly based on the book, the bad things are bad because it hinders the good things. Some aspects of my life that I find interesting are, my interests in performing and art. I find these aspects of my life interesting because they were influenced by my parents. My father being a musician I grew up with music and performing/performances and my mother who paints a lot in her spare time I was exposed to art. I think these aspects of my life will keep throughout my life but there is a possibility that these aspects will become less important or even more important and become something bigger than it is now.
