A memory impossible to erase
Science fiction project reflection
As completing the task of writing a Science Fiction story and then make it as a digital narrative I had to follow certain steps. During the process of both I founded a bunch of differences between each process. Besides, both of the narrative types, had its difficulties and pleasures. In order to write my story, the traditional narrative, I had to read science fiction stories and take notes about narrative techniques, to get ideas to apply in my own story making process. Then, I brainstormed my ideas and plot the narrative. With the ideas on my plot and in mi mind, I started typing the story out, when finish, I read it a couple of times, looking for mistakes and changing what I have done wrong. I also made a partner read it and share with me his opinion. In the other hand, when making the digital narrative, I started by drafting, drawing the scenes. I divided the story in sections and search for ideas of how to make an animated story telling. After I decide to make my movie in iMovie I searched for videos of how to use it. Then, I started looking at my house for old pictures that matched with the story parts, took pictures of them, film settings and put everything together. After watching the video a couple of times I deleted what didn't fit with the story. This was the process I followed to complete each of the narratives.
In some ways the processes I went through when making the narratives were similar but also different. In both of them I had to do deep thinking, in the writing I had to think on how to redact the story and what to write it about, in the digital narrative I had to think how to show the story, with pictures, videos, both? In both of them I had to make a draft, in the traditional narrative I made a plot diagram and for the digital I made some sketches. Some way both narratives were really different, in order to complete the traditional narrative I had to type everything out, express feelings through words, for the digital, instead, I had to read the story out loud, express everything with different tones. I took a look on both of them, fix mistakes, erase unnecessary information and add important facts. I can conclude that both narratives have similar steps for their successful completeness.
Like everything in life both narratives had its difficulties but also its pleasures. In the case of the traditional narrative, it was pleasant having in mind it was the easiest part of the process, it's much easier to type the story that having to interpret it as a video. In the other hand, it was difficult to find the correct words to create an image in the readers mind of how characters and settings looked like. In the written part it was also really pleasant to include the futuristic technology, having in mind that the objects I included don't exist in our society, so with words I got the opportunity to create the technology. For the digital narrative in the other side, it was much easier to show how the characters look like, having in mind I include pictures that show all the character traits. It was difficult managing technology, I had to use an application I had use very few times. Finding the correct pictures at my house that match with the story was also really difficult, finding the images that match with every scene and filming the settings. In conclusion everything has its pros and cons, but with dedication everything is possible.

Crossfit a way of life
What is the significance of this topic for me?
Crossfit is a way of life I decided, it helped me find myself. It's more than just my hobby, it is more like a passion. It might be hard and leave me sore, but every day I try to beat myself. I chose this topic because even though for some people it's just a sport this has become a part of my life. The reader should understand that crossfit is a part of my life that doesn't only teach me how to lift weights, do burpees, push-ups,pull-ups, but also to understand that if you work hard you could always beat the person you were yesterday.

Crossfit
Crossfit is a way of life I decide,
I fall in love with results and process.
Don’t just dream for it, train and exercise,
Every day I improve and reach success.
Try to be different from everyone.
I will always have this big endless love,
Pull-ups, push-ups, lift heavy weights and run,
In all the class I try to rise above.
Here you can see the love I go thru,
It might not me a person, place or thing
And is not even a love between two,
It’s a sport that make my heart go running.
It will always make me tired and sore
But I will stand up and go back for more.
