Introduction to getting to know me better

 Welcome to my vlog where you'll get more insight into the type of person I am. My fears, my goals in life, my achievements and more.

My friends say I am a selfless, hard work working person who always puts peoples needs before my own and its true, I do intend to do this but not always. I move to the feeling fo leadership and love taking charge of project work, organising events with friends and organising fun things to do to see the look on my friends faces. I am the type of person who doesnt as for much, a simple thank you makes my day! 

In secondary school, I was a different person to who I am now. I was the quite one and shy to speak out, that included being around my friend group. I never spoke up and expressed my own opinions. I always had negative thoughts and overthought everything. I can now say that was DRAINING. I thougt everyone in school had a negative opinion of me but really it was all in my own head. My mental health was harmed due to this and had me in a bad place for a little while. After my secondary school 6th year experience and reaching first year of college I changed as a person for the better. Everything that happens in life, happens for a reason. I have a new mindset on life and its a good one. Life your OWN life because at the end of the day you are the only person living it and no one else. If you do something good people will talk about you and if you do something bad people will still talk about you so do what you want to do because you never know when it might be the day of it. It's a deep thing to say, I know but Life is deep. I believe, what happens in your life happens for a reason and if you battle through and come out on top , you are the winner. No one said life is easy and everyday is a good day. We are humans and every curve ball will get thrown at us for better or for worse. It's what you make of yor life. I have such strong opinions now, im lively, bubbly and happy. All feelings I enjoy feeling and thats what matters. Do what makes you happy!

College has done the world of good for me and even though it was online last year due to covid its still all the other elemenst that come with it. For me it was, moving up to dublin and meeting new people each day, getting new friends (friends for life), experincing dublin life, more independency living and having to feed for yourself. Made me a strong independent women. Now , being in college and finally getting to experincing what my older cousins and family say- College is the best years of your life and i couldn't be happier to be getting a chance to live through it all now. 


                                    Cheers to living you best life the way you choose to live it

    Hey Sophie,
    I love this intro. I completely agree with literally everything you said. I've had similar experiences in secondary school and have also found myself in leaving school. It can be so toxic sometimes!! It is great to hear that you've come out the other side and that you now have a positive mindset on life. Looking forward to seeing you around campus, Best of luck this year.
    Philippa :))

    Hi Sophie,
    I liked your introduction post, I too was the quiet and too afraid to speak out kid in the classroom but unlike you I have not been able to change my mindset just yet.

    Hey Sophie, its really good to see that college is really helping you come out of your shell. I also feel the same way, I wasn't too out there when I was in secondary school and I just felt quite out of place but I'm starting to feel more comfortable now!

    Hey Sophie, I love how motivational and deep this intro post is. I completely agree with what you're saying especially about life and how you should live it the way that you want to, it's great to see you're enjoying college so far; it's definitely a much better experience than secondary school was for me as well. This was a fun and enjoyable blog post to read. :)

 What is a game, anyway? I have decided to write notes as I'm reading through it because if not I will forget key information that I wanted to say in my blog for this piece.  In the gaming world, there are a lot of people who are very passionate about gaming and therefore have strong opinions. some people live to game, they do it for fun, in their spare time and have a job in this department. As I said, some people live to game. So, when Irene says that some people disagree with her definition of gaming. I understand that because it's an open field so everyone is entitled to their own opinions.  I played the game three to fifteen. It's a simple game and a very well-known game. One of my favorite games to play is GTA (Grand Auto Theft) on the Xbox. The majority of the game definitions listed are accounted for in GTA. Ends and means, separate, unproductive, and make-believe which GTA very much is. I agree that many games are created using the same structure, they could be com

 What I'll build   I aim to create a website on swimming. I run my own swimming school. I want to be able to create a website in the next year or two for my business. I feel by doing this website on swimming, will give me good practice for when I come to creating my own. I aim to create a 5-page website. My pages will include a bit about me, a place for parents to book their children in for swimming, a price list, a page about the swim school, and contact details. Each page in the website will be user freindly and include enough information and visuals. Each page will hopefully exceed the info that viewers are looking for. Once they have view my website, the goal is taht they will have more than enough knowlegde. UX features that I aim to include are easy access back to the homepage, a clear navigation bar, and A lot of colors, videos, and images to guide my viewers around the website.  Two websites I saw that relate to the website I want to create:      https://www.waterworksswim.
