NHD research!
For my National History Day Project, I am interested in researching the camera and how it evolved from then until today. But most importantly, how it involves in our history. At this moment I am partnering with Nina Boccella.
- The innovation was called the Camera Obscura.
- The Camera Obscura was developed in 1814.
- The creator of this invention was named Joseph Nicephore Niepce
- When this invention was first made, it mainly looked like a box with a lens. There were holes on each side, one for a lens and the other was a holder to keep a strip of light in place. If you look at a camera today, you'll see that that many objects replaces the camera obscura such as: a hand grip, the film rewind, shutter release button, film advance lever, a frame counter and much more.
- This innovation benefits to people who enjoy nature, landscaping, and much more. So when this innovation was created, they would have more of an advantage towards interest.
- This innovation was received well. many people like it && many people didn't.

How does our personality affect our choices and behavior?
Our personality affect our choices and behavior in many ways. For one, many people have different views to ward life and education. We all have different actions towards the way we handle situations. For example a confident person wouldnt have any problem performing in front of a big adiuence. But on the other hand, a shy person would have stage fright which would effect their performance grade in the worst way.

My own Bill of Rights!!!
Three Amendments I would consider for our class are:
- Chew gum during free time
- debate upon certain topics
- no homework everyday
Bill of Rights!
The Bill of Rights is a statement of fundamental rights and privileges.
The three Bill of Rights that are most important to me are: one, freedom of speech, Press,Religion and Petition. Two,Right to keep and bear arms. Three, rights of construction of Constitution.
Our rights have changed over the past 200 years in many ways. For one, ever since Sept, 11, o1 attack, many rights and laws has been changed enforced for our safety.
These are the Rights missing:
- Right to a speedy, public, and impartial trial.
- Jury trials are required in civil suits where value exceeds $20.
- No excessive bail or fines and no cruel or unusual punishments.
- Rights not listed are not necessarily denied.
- Powers not given expressly to the United States or denied to the states themselves are reserved to the states.
I don't agree with the sixth Bill of Right. I do not agree with Right to a speedy trial, witness, because other people would get to choose a criminal's persecution or defense councils by trial. At this time I would not take anything away at this moment.

MY MOM'S OPINION!!!
Last night for homework I had to ask my parents one thing they loved about the USA and one thing they would change to improve our country. I asked my mother and she said that she likes the fact that we have the freedom to worship according to our faith of choice. One thing she said she would change is that all people would be treated, respected and offered equally even opportunities. There wouldn't be any second-class citizens. ALL WOULD BE EQUALLY SERVED!

My Proverb!
The first day you meet, you are friends.
The next day you meet, you are brothers.
A real friend is one who takes the hand of his
friend in time of distress and helplessness.
No rose is without thorns.
Above are Afghanistan's proverbs that have caught my interest. To me these proverbs are related in a way to show that somethings are good but are not perfect. You may meet a friend and become close but may not be close friends for long as you would expect. There for you have encountered disappointment into your life.
I also feel as though a lot of immigrants encounter disappointment into there life because everything they may have herd or thought about America, may not be everything they have expected of it to be.
In this country we value second chances, opportunities, and more freedom than others. If you ask me, I think that's what most immigrants look at before they settle in and get familiar with. Even though that may seem great, we also have flaws and other imperfections that may have not been noticed by immigrants. And that's one disappointment immigrants approach unexpectedly.
