    When I look at this picture, it reminds me of all the civilians who lost their lives during World War I. When a country goes to war, I don't think that the government thinks about all the people that will lose their lives. The first thing that stands out to me in this picture is, obviously, the dead child on the sidewalk. I realize how war affects the people that live where war is taking place. Innocent people are killed, or affected directly, either by loss of a loved one or becoming homeless and bankrupt. The war is devastating for all involved. This picture is a very powerful image.

    I don't really have a lot of hobbies, but there are a few things that I enjoy doing. I love to sing. If a song that I like comes on the radio or the video comes on television, no matter what I'm doing, I stop and have to sing along. I also love to dance. I'm a fast learner when it comes to learning dance routines. I just don't like to dance in front of people I don't know. Another hobby I have is I like to design fashions. Some people tell me that I should become a designer, but I tell them maybe as a side job because I don't think that my outfits are good enough for me to consider as a career.
