My name is James Lopez and I am sixteen years old. I have two older brothers that are both in college, one is in San Diego and the other is in Santa Cruz. I was born in Garden Grove in L.A. I currently live in a little city called Newark, which I have lived for about fifteen years now. I like to play almost any sport except for real golf (miniature golf is fun) and nascar, but my favorite is soccer. I have been playing since i was about seven or eight or nine or ten years old. I attend Newark Memorial and i am about to be a Junior next year. My favorite movies to watch are comedy or action. My favorite color is green. I like to eat almost anything except for onions and bell-peppers. I am a second year at SMASH. I used to play baseball but I stopped because I thought it was boring I just like to hit the ball. I am Honduran and I have only been to Honduras one time when I was like three. I have also visited Costa Rica, Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Washington D.C. and Florida.

We decided to do our flash project on how to have more fun at SMASH because it might be tough for some people to, not because they do not know how but maybe because they don’t know which activities to do. The people that can benefit from this movie the most are people in SMASH and future SMASH scholars, but it can help anybody around the world. We decided to demonstrate some of the activities that many people here at SMASH find enjoyable, but these activities are not limited to SMASH. First, we were thinking of doing a prank to one of the RAs and we thought of how we would be able to incorporate our idea in our flash project and we also thought about table volleyball and what was in common with both of them. Then we thought of how to have fun in SMASH. Then i made the background, David made the script, and Salofi did the flash design.then we put them all together and then we made the videos and embedded them into our flash project.

Recycling is a quick and simple way to make our planet earth healthier and a better looking planet for everyone and for the generations to come. my call to action is “One at a time will bring the world to its prime”. My audience is towards everyone so they can recycle and save the world and it does not take a lot of time and even if it did take a long time the outcome would be worth it.

The first media that I got introduced to and always stuck with me was entertainment. From the ages one to five I was watching Sesame Street. From six to eleven I started reading Dr. Seuss books. Twelve to fifteen I started watching movies almost every week. Now I am sixteen and I listen to music a lot, I carry my ipod with me everywhere I go. Entertainment started with me very early and was one of the first medias in my life and it has stayed with me all throughout my life.

Sesame Street used to be the only media that i cared about. All I did everyday was just watch T.V. and watch Sesame Street, but i only thought it was entertaining I did not think that it was also educational. I got either very angry or very sad whenever somebody tried to change the channel because I liked the show so much. After a while i started watching less and less and I started learning how to read. Then I started reading more and more. The first books that I read were Dr. Seuss books. They were my favorite books to read and the only books i could read. Not that I wasn’t able to read other books, but all the rest of the books I thought were boring compared to Dr. Seuss. When i turned about eleven my uncle started talking me and my brothers to the movies almost every week.I keep my ticket stubs and I have so many, one time i tried to count them and remember each movie that I did not get to finish. One of my favorite movies was Step Brothers. Step Brothers was a hilarious movie with Will Farrell and  John C. Reilly
