These students definitely have a much more interesting lifestyle than I Do. Fist of all they get to ride the subway every day to school, which not only contains students but musicians, artists, working citizens, and many more. Then they get to have their classes all over the city and see different things every morning. New York students are much more independent than most of us. The solely rely on the city to get them where they need to go. After school most of them go to their friend's houses, but then some go home to help out their families. My day is not half this exciting. We go to school, go home, and go to practice and then do homework. Although we may be extremely different we still share a few things in common. Such as; waking up at 5:30 a.m. to get my self read for school and eat breakfast. Then i go home or sometimes go to a friends house. But, all in all my day is extremely different from a day of a New York students.
Parts of the video that resonate with my daily life are that we both go after school and hang out with our friends. I would include what i do in the mornings before school, and my transportation to school and home, and also my night routine. I do think that some parts are common, such as how we spend our weeks and weekends. I would include my mom, boyfriend, and siblings because those are the most important roles in my daily life. My video would show how my mom drives me to school, Starbucks such as the boy in the video, and the softball field for practice. I believe that my video would be similar because I would maybe take the train places also or maybe walk to and from school and hang out with my friends after.
On a typical day of my life, my slumber is unwillingly disturbed by my alarm clock and the need for me to go to the bus stop earlier than most adolescents. I proceed to try take a shower, eat breakfast, and brush my teeth. This is the norm for a student in America, and the kids in the video did the same, with the exception of getting up really early and showering. In contrast, in my video I would also include eating lunch, dinner, playing my violin, and some of my classes at school. All of these are common to people my age because we all need to eat, have to go to school, and I know a lot of people that play an instrument as a hobby. I would also be sure to include my family and friends, such as Harlie and Leilani, in the video because the former live with me and I am thankful for all of them. I would obviously shoot the video in my home and at school because I spend the majority of my life at those two places. Also, I would show the bus ride to and from school so the video shows a general part of Virginia Beach. If I substituted “New York City” for “Virginia Beach,” my video would show a lot more dispersed people and locations. The air would be clearer for the most part, there would be seagulls flying around, and it is less likely that there would be a child walking around by his or herself.
Some of the parts of a teenagers daily life resonates with my daily life. For example their mornings start bright and early like mine when I have to catch the bus at 6:00am and then both of our trips to and from school are long. If a video were to be made about my life I would include my mornings, what I do after school, and hanging out with my friends and family. A part of the video that would be common to most people my age would be having early mornings and not getting home until the late afternoon or night time.This is common of people my age especially because you’re starting high school because you’re trying to be involved in school, participate in a sport or activity out of school, and keep your grades up. In a video about my daily life I would include dance and other activities I do after school, my friends and family, and lastly my pets. With where I live in my video I would include things that differ the culture from other places like the beach and Virginia Beach’s community. For example, Virginia Beach consists of the rural and urban places which many cities may not have so one day you could be horseback-riding and the next day surfing.
The parts of the video that resonate with my life are when the kids are discussing, some of their routine things that they do daily or often. Like when one boy said that he usually is found at Target, hanging with his friends. Sometimes, after school or one the weekends I'm constantly talking to my friends or can be found hanging with them. if I were asked to make a video about an average day in my life, I'd probably include the things I do in the morning to prepare for school, my bus ride to school, my friends, and the classes I take, because these are like the major parts of my day. Yes, especially if they're in high school, then they'll understand the struggle of getting up super early in the morning to catch the bus on time. Also, I think they could relate to like the friends aspect of my video, my friends make up a huge part of my day, because I'm constantly around them. I would also include the school I go to, All of my teachers and friends that I see on a daily basis, because, like I said they're basically by my side all day. If the video where shot in Virginia. the people watching would get to see all my favorite hangouts, some of the weird things my friends and I do, and maybe a few special parts of Virginia.
I can relate to this video because a lot of these kids are my age so I can say that i have about the same lifestyle as them. These kids lives can be similar to mine for the following reasons. I hang out with my friends after school and go out and get food. Also I have to walk home from the bus stop, which is an hour everyday. If I had to make my own video about my daily life I would include walking to the bus stop everyday, the traffic around my bus stop, my classes at my school and how the hallways are always packed, and hanging with friends after school. Next, In my video I also would include my house,school,friends,dad,and family. Most importantly I would show what the beach looks like because I live near the beach. Lastly, I would like to make a video of one day in my life because I think it would be pretty cool to to show people around the world what my life is.
Some parts of the video that resonate with my life are when the students normally get up early for school, eat breakfast, and do homework just like I do. One girl had after school activities and didn’t get home until near night time. This relates to me because I make sure I get my homework done even when I get home near nighttime because of sports.If I made a video about an average day in my life, it would include me waking up and getting ready for school, eating breakfast, taking the bus, going through my school day, cheerleading practice, doing my homework, eating dinner, and then getting ready to sleep. In the video, the people I would include are my family, teachers, and friends because I see them all the time and they are apart of my daily life. The places I would include would be popular places, my neighborhood, my school, and just anywhere people usually go. If I substituted “New York City” for where I live instead, there would be more of a rural environment with spread out stores and the beach. My video would be similar to New York City lives with the kids that hang out after school. My video would be different with the noise level because where I live, it is quite peaceful. Also, there wouldn’t be trains or huge skyscrapers at all. There are lots of cars, some buses, and mostly single homes. Altogether, New York City lives have their similarities and differences between the lives of where I live which makes everyone so unique and interesting.
The parts of the video where students were getting ready and heading off to school resonated with me because I also have to get up very early and can relate to the claims of kids walking in the dark. I also think that I can relate to the kids who want to go off with their friends and without their parents. The big difference is that those kids can all walk to a place to hang out, and in Virginia Beach, everything is spread out and you have to go everywhere with your mom or dad because you need someone to drive you. In a video about my average day, I would include me getting ready for school. I would also show me riding the bus and how I get to watch the sunrise everyday because that is something that I enjoy. I would include small parts of me at school. I would also include me coming home, doing my homework, picking up my brothers from their bus stop, making dinner, and helping out my mom and dad with chores. I think that most people my age would include school and getting ready and doing homework in their videos, but not everyone has siblings that they have to take care of. I would definitely include the beach and a small Mexican restaurant that my family goes to often. Other than that, there are not many places that we can go to easily because there is not much in walking distance. If I substituted New York CIty for the place that I live, it would show the weather, the community, and the way that everything is spread out.
While watching this video, I noticed a lot of similarities and differences to my life as well. For example, I had a lot in common with the girl who volunteers very often. I personally try and volunteer as much as I can because whenever I do so, I feel better about myself knowing that I have made other people feel better too. If I made a video for where I live, it would show going to the beach with my friends often since I live right next to a beach. It would also include getting ready in the morning, riding the school bus to school, and coming home to do my homework. On some days, I have volleyball practice, which I would also include in the video. A big difference between a New York City Virginia is that we cannot walk to the places we want to et to because our city is very spread out. Certain elements in this video are common to people my age, such as going to school, hanging out with friends, and the boy that was home schooled. I personally have a cousin in Virginia who is home schooled as well. Another difference between a New York City kid and a Virginia kid is that in New York City, there are public buses. For Virginia, there are school buses that take you to and from school. If I were to include people in my video, I would be sure to include my parents, siblings, and also my friends. These people are a big part of my life and they are part of who I am today. New York City kids and Virginia kids are very different, but also very similar at the same time.
The video comments on how each child has a busy lifestyle, but yet still made time for self expression. The child who was into miming for example, I can relate to him because many people still assume that I’m older than I actually am. I would include the process I go through to get ready in the mornings, my natural schooling schedule, and my routine at home including homework and chores. Yes I do, the aspects of school and basic household activities such as chores would most likely be relevant throughout those of equal age. I would be sure to include my school, home, and grandmother’s house, along with my friends and family to go along with these places; these people and places would be included in my video because it is apart of my daily life and what I am structurally aware of. The video would be entitled “What Makes a Virginia Beach City Kid?”, replacing the ‘New York’ out, it would also replace some basic activities with those that go on here. A simple example being means of transport, here we don’t take trains everywhere but in New York City that is a main method shown throughout to get from place to place.
Parts of the “What Makes a New York Kid?” video that would resonate with my life are waking up having breakfast, getting read, and going to school. In a video of my life I would include me getting ready for school, me riding the bus to school, short parts of my school day, and what I do when I get home from school. I would include what I do when I get off from the bus stop and what I do with my friends when I get home. I think certain parts of my video would be the same as other teenagers. For example, getting ready for school, attending school, and going home to do homework or hangout with friends or even go to sport events. People and places I would include would be my friends and the basic places that I go to or pass every day. I would include my house, my school, and taco bell since it’s a pit stop on my way home from my bus stop. “What Makes a Virginia Beach Kid?” video would be different but similar to a “What Makes a New York Kid?”. In “What Makes a Virginia Beach Kid?” video there will be less people with more open space. Also there will most likely be a beach some part of the video. Another thing that may be in the video is a mall. Malls are a big place where teens hangout at. You would see more land and houses because there is more land for us to build buildings on. The videos would be similar because were both in a community also we would be hanging out with friends or family because we both have a big population.
The part that resonates with my daily life is when the kids have to go to school because we have to get our education to achieve our career goals. What I would include in a video about my life is what sports I play and what I like to do in my free time. I think that if I made a video that some of the parts that would be the same would be me hanging out with my friends and our daily schedule when we wake up to get ready to go to school. I would be sure to include my parents and sister; I also would include my closest friends. I would include them in the video because they are important to me and that they are in my daily life. The video would show the beach and parks that I usually hang out at and the culture that is here in Virginia Beach. The video would be the same because of how people get transportation and how that there are a ton of people walking around. The differences would be on what we do in our free time, where we go for hang out spots, and what our culture is about.
Ina video about my daily life ill include how i get ready for school in the morning and where do go to get to school. Which in this case is the bus. Ill have to include the activities i do after school and where i enjoy hanging out with my friends and family. Ill also include who i live with at home and out pets since they are apart of my daily life to the facts i see them every day and have the responsibility of taking care of them..the people ill have to include would be my family i live with, my friends and also my teachers since i see them often. Also my pets. Ill show where i like to hang out and shop such as Gamestop, occasionally the ocean front and the book store. Ill video myself going towards and waiting at the bus stop, the bus ride home, and what i do at home such as going on the computer since those are a part of my daily life. If it was what makes a kid a Virginia Beach kid you'll have to include a love for the beach. There are many events year round at the oceanfront that everyone has at least one interest in. Along with a love for technology and shopping. We are also independent but since everything is spaced apart its hard getting around without a car or well be tired all the time. cars have to be our main mode of transportation. Unless you live right next to a place you're mostly at home and have to find a way to occupy yourself. This is why a majority of us have phones so we can communicate with others since we live far away from each other.
Everyday I wake up bright and early, and head immediately into the shower. After getting out of the shower, I get dressed, eat breakfast quickly, get driven to school, and start school. There are many differences between how the children of New York and Virginia handle their day, but the thing that most resonates with me is how no matter how good or bad a place is everyone has a place called home. Especially in the video, the idea of having that special place where you can come back to, and feel connected is ideal. If a video were to be made of my daily life it would mostly consist of school, eating and sleeping. As previously said I go to school and that's where my day fully begins, it's kind of boring but that's most of my day. The most eventful part of school is lunch, expect when fights break out because everyone turns into a lunatic. I feel like people my age would have similar videos because almost all my age group does is go to school, eat, and sleep. In making the video I would for sure have to include Bayside High School, my house, my friends at my school , and of course my academy teachers . Since I live in Virginia , I would have to change the name of the video. In the video it would show the same amount of city, but not as many subways and more cars and/or buses. There would be many educational areas, but most important of all the beach of Virginia. New York and Virginia maybe completely different places but what connects them is the people of it.
Daily life in New York City is way different than life in Virginia Beach because of the different transportation, food, landmarks, and people. If I were to make a video of my typical life-style it would be way different than other people's lives. In my video I would include my morning routine of how early I wake up and how long my bus ride is. Next I would include Bayside High school and talk about how it does not relate to schools in New York at all, also how diverse it is. In my video I would show my family and friends and what I do on the weekends. Most importantly I would show the environment that I live in, such as the beach, because it is a big part of my life. Some common things that were the same in their lives and my life is school, hanging out with friends, and going to get food. In my opinion i actually think that it would be pretty cool to make a video of my life and share it with others around the world.
The part the video resonates my daily life where the kids have to go to school every day in the morning, and the part where you can hang out with your friends in the afternoon. I would include me hanging out with my family like going shopping with me mom and going to the movie, because that is what I do in my daily life. Also I would show me playing with my sister and dogs, since I do that almost every day. Going to see a movie, go shopping, and hanging with friends would be something almost every teenager would probably do. I would definitely include my family; like my brother, sister, dad, mom, and probably my three dogs. Also I would include my friends. If I would put Virginia Beach kid, I would probably show the beach and what people would normally do at the beach. I would also show how people interact with each other and the culture related to it, whether if it's the type of music people would normally listen to, the type of dance and the food we may eat. The video may show people hanging out with each other; whether, if it shows you going to the store to shop or if you if are going to school
In my daily life, I would include myself getting ready for school and catching the bus every morning. I would also include when I catch the bus to GSA, and what my friends and I do before class. I would also show my daily evening routine which includes doing homework, watching YouTube, and talking to my friends on the phone. The people I would include in my daily life are my best friends from middle school, friends at GSA, my mom, dad, brother, and sister. I was comparing my life to the lives of kids in New York City. The thing that we have in common is that we both are required to go to school by the government to get and education. If I lived in New York, I would still be showing myself getting ready and going to school, but I would also include bus rides since I go to different academies. Depending on where you live, people have different lives and ways they react to life, but everybody has the same purpose which is going to school, getting an education, and excelling in life.
During my daily life, I get up, wash up, do my daily essentials, eat breakfast, and head out for my bus stop before sunrise. In the video, the kids would get up, eat breakfast, get ready for school, and get on the subway or rent a bike. The only things that resembled my life was the getting ready part. Everything else was completely different,because I have different way of getting in school then they do. If I was to make a video about my life, it would be mainly about my trip from school, what I do at school, and my trip back from school. I think some of the stuff I do is really common for people my age, so I think people would find common ground in my video. I would make sure I have all of my family, teachers, and closest friends were in the video. I would want my school, bus stop, my house, and anywhere I visit to also be in the video. My video would have less busy streets, no subways, beaches, parks, and less crowded cities because places are more spread out.
In my daily life, on most school days, I get up, take a shower, brush my teeth, and then my dad drives me to school. In the video, the kids in NYC got up, ate breakfast, got ready for school, then took the subway to get to class, biked, or walked. The only thing that really resonates with my daily life is getting ready, the rest is very different from what I do each day. If I were to make a video about an average day in my life, it would contain getting ready for school, going to school, coming home from school, walking my dog, then either taking a nap or doing homework, eating dinner, and finally going to bed. I think that most people my age would have in common that they get ready for school each morning, go to school, come home from school, do homework, eat dinner, then go to bed. In my video, I would include my family (mom, dad, sister, dog) and perhaps one or two of my friends, for places I would include my school, my house, and maybe a restaurant like chick-fil-a because these are the people/places I see/go to daily/most often. My video would have less crowded cities, no subway trains, and more open areas, parks, and forests; less people would walk around because places are more spread out and it would take longer to get places.
An ordinary moment I would include in my video would be something about me that people would be interested in and is also an interest of mine. For example I would include my sports carrier and how playing sports has affected my life.
