On the year of 2005/06, I was on my Winter Holiday Break here in Kingston, I went skating. Nothing bad happened.... Not! The day I went skating was the 2nd most terrible day of my 13 years of life! I was skating with my brother, but more like chasing him when I fell down awkwardly. I cried and cried and was unable to move! My terrible brother just left me there! My mom was there,but unable to get me, but a nice kind stranger helped me get to the bleachers. My mom called my dad who came to get me and drove me to the hospital. I told him to drive slowly and try to advoid potholes or bumps since I was in serious pain. When I got to the hospital, no bone doctor was working since they were on holidays or left already to examine me. The nurse casted my leg because every move,touch, and un-smooth travel hurted. I waited for 2 days to see my bone doctor. That day I got an x-ray of my leg and who knew taking off a cast could be so SCARY for a first timer. What was worse on top of that, my doctor confirmed that I broken my fibula and tibia! My leg got re-casted and during the middleof January, I got surgery. They put plates to hold my bones together while my bones healed. My relatives and friends were in support for me to get better. I missed alot of school days and did my work at home. Things changed for me alot! Endless hours of movies and T.V. and computer! In 2007, with lots of check-ups to see how my bones healed, my bones finally healed! That may be very happy, but that meant another surgery for the plates to be taken out. The happy part is that after my surgeries, my dad and brother treated me like a princess and mom takes extra care of me! After my cast got taken off, I had to re-learn how to put pressure on my right leg and walk, I was not yet able to run. Year after that I joined track and field with my brother! Now, I'm back to normal.

☻A Face of Tomorrow☺
A) Where I got the best definition - (http://www.globalization101.org/What_is_Globalization.html)
Globalization means working well along the way with the cultures of different people and different working businesses. To do this we would be doing world-wide trading with different people/culture and be helped by communication systems. By doing this it affects our habitat, our differences (clothes,skin, language e.t.c) in our community world.

B) Website that I used to help me: http://www.faceresearch.org/tech/prototyping
One would go about making these average faces by computer graphics making another same person, but changes her/him up a little of the faces to a 3rd person of different people.

Over by the years of real life, your face changes because of your gender whatever your gender is, your growing up so your face changes. As you get nearer to be a teenager your going to get zits,e.t.c. So over the generations your face will change because of your age and gender.
C) What I found interesting in 'The Face of Tomorrow' is this "The large metropolises of the world are magnets for migrants from all parts of the planet resulting in new mixtures of peoples" because I actually didn't know that. I also found this interesting too, 'The resulting population is fairly uniform suggesting that if you could combine all the faces in a city right now you would be looking at the future face of that city'. That sounds very fascinating. What I think 'The Face of Tomorrow' means the effects of globalization on identity. The differences in our faces give us a sense of identity because its who we are, so we can be recognized by the people we know. What surprised me is how we can actually combine faces to make the face of tomorrow. What I expected is something cooler into making it and not like so simple.
D) Who I added is 2 girls and 2 guys to create this = ---►
Why I think this might be the face of tomorrow is because
it kinda looks like us (the globalization in the world) right now
with the pictures I chose. Also, most girls wear the hair sorta short/medium
and the guys have short hair, and this picture right besides me is wearing her hair
short or maybe is in a bun so medium too maybe. I think this might be the face
of tomorrow because this face might be somebodies face in the future in this world.

1 in 7 Billion
“But we don't take up as much space as you'd think.
Standing shoulder to shoulder all 7 billion of us would fill the city of Los Angeles.
So it's not space we need – it's balance.”
In my opinion, I believe these words mean that we have tons of space in this world, but we need to balance our uses. We gotta share the things in this world and not hog everything. Like food because some countries/people don't have enough food in there country to survive and they go hungry. Same goes with water because not everyone in this world have clean water to drink. Not everyone is lucky to live in Canada because we have enough of everything mostly. This world needs to stay balanced for as we live altogether in this world.
910,000,000 people in our world don't have clean drinking water.
2,660,000,000 people in our world lack adequate sanitation.
Wow, imagine that.If I were one of these people being affected with no clean drinking water or lack adequate sanitation, then I'll go crazy or wild. I mean with no clean drinking water, I'll die of thirst. I don't know how those people can manage that. I mean imagine no clean drinking water a week, a month, a year even and you might never know when you'll get clean drinking water. How do you suppose a person can survive. I know I wouldn't. A lack of adequate sanitation means no getting clean. I know I can actually never live through a week without being clean, having no shower/baths, no sink. I feel bad for those people who don't have what we have in Canada because I'm living perfectly happy in my home.

♥A life Behind my name♥
Behind My Name: Cindy
Before I started this assignment, I thought my name was,... well, I don't know because I never thought about it.
I think my parents chose this name for me because my dad liked this name out of a Chinese Hong Kong movie.
After searching on Behind the Name (http://www.behindthename.com/name/cindy), I learned that my name means small and short weight form for Cynthia Or Lucinda and my name used to be a greek.On Baby Names meaning (http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Cindy.html) I learned that my name means light and is an English and Latin name.
Some other interesting things I learned are my name is being currently ranked #531 in the USA right now. My name was popular in 1957 being ranked #19. What I found surprising is my name is listed on 212 name lists. Did you know the meaning of my last name Lee means 'Field'. My last name Lee was most popular in 1950 being ranked #91 which totally sucks. After some researching I found this fashion model and spokesperson named Cindy Crawford and I don't think I ever heard of her. From what I have read about her, she sounds like an amazing person that I would like to meet and is a successor.
I think my name does suit me because well I rather not say why because I'm embarrassed to say.
If I could give myself a new name, it would be Sydney, because I like that name.But that doesn't mean I don't like my name right now.
One thing I would like to clear up with people who thinks I have a middle name is I don't. My full name is Cindy Lee. Clear and simple.
