Abbey Toureene Slideshow






Personality Project
Family:
In my family slide on my power point there are 4 picture. These pictures included a boxer, a family of seven, Illinois, and a Christmas tree. I live in a family of seven people, including my grandma that has lived with us for the past three years. We also have a pet dog named Bear, he is a flashy fawn boxer and is two years old in human years. Majority of our family lives and always have lived in Illinois, so we go there for all of the holidays to visit with everyone. One of our traditions for holidays is to put up our Christmas tree together and decorate it as a family.
Inherited Features:
On my inherited features slide it includes pictures of a brown eye, brown hair, a stick figure laughing, a nose, and the word short. I inherited my mom’s dark brown eyes and her dark brown hair, which is the reason for both of those pictures. I also inherited my mom’s height which is very short, and her laugh, which is very loud. The main feature I inherited from my dad is his round nose that I have as well.
Inherited Traits:
There is a picture of glasses being crossed out, sport equipment, a right hand, and a person running in my inherited traits slide. I inherited many traits from my mom including her 20/20 eyesight, so I do not have to wear any glasses. I also inherited my use of my right hand from my mom. Everyone in my family except for my dad uses their right hand for everything. The last thing I inherited from my mom was her speed, she ran track in high school and I play soccer. When my dad was in high school he was very athletic, which was passed down to me and my love for sports.
Outer Appearance:
My outer appearance slide contains a picture of samba indoor shoes, the Buckle logo, a hair straightener, moccasins, and American Eagle jeans. My favorite tennis shoes are Adidas Sambas and American Eagle moccasins. The only jeans I wear are from American Eagle, so I put a picture of a couple pairs of my favorite pairs. I wear my hair straight, and to do that I have to straighten in with my straightener.
Social Behavior:
My social behavior slide contains three pictures which are a cell phone, the Facebook logo and a family at a dinner table. I use my cell phone for a good majority of my communication at home. I text my friends half the time, and the other half I talk to them on the phone. I also communicate with my friends on Facebook if they’re not available to talk on the phone. Then the last picture is the family at the dinner table, my communication with my family is taken place around the dinner table. That is when I talk to my family the most, while we are eating dinner.
Talents/Skills/Hobbies:
For my talents and hobbies I have a picture of a microphone, soccer ball, the word rock-climbing, and a piece of paper and pencil. I love to sing, I sing at my church often and I am in choir at school. I plan to keep taking choir all throughout my school years if I can. There is also a soccer ball because soccer is my favorite activity to do and I’ve been playing ever since I was five. I plan to go as far as possible with soccer and hope I succeed. The word rock-climbing is placed on the slide because I love to rock climb whenever I can. I used to be deathly afraid of heights but now rock-climbing is one of the most entertaining activities I do. Lastly, the reason for the paper and pencil is my love for writing. Depending on the subject writing comes easy to me and I really enjoy it.
Future Plans:
For my future plans I have the North Carolina University logo, a picture of a soccer team, a group of graduates, and a picture of a coral reef. The NCU logo is symbolizing my dream to go there for college, it is also my dream to play for their soccer team. Which is the reasoning for the picture of the soccer team. I put a picture of graduates because to get to college, you obviously have to graduate, so that is another one of my future goals or plan. Lastly is a picture of a coral reef, I put this on my slide because besides soccer I would love to study the ocean. I have always been interested in the different species of corals and creatures that live in the ocean.
Eating Habits:
My eating habits slide contains a picture of oranges, the Moe’s logo, and a picture of a mushroom that is crossed out. My favorite fruit is oranges and I eat probably around two oranges a day. The Moe’s Southwest Grill’s logo is on my slide because it is my favorite restaurant in Pewaukee. Then the picture with the mushroom crossed out is on my slide because I hate mushrooms.
Fears and Pet Peeves:
On this slide I have a picture of a person whispering, the word bragging, a snake and a cat. One of my biggest pet peeves is whispering. It is rude and you never know what they could be talking about. Another of my biggest pet peeves is bragging. When all a person talks about is how good they are at sports, singing, school, etc. When I was little I was bitten and scratched by a kitten, so ever since I have been deathly afraid of them. I am also terrified of being bitten by a snake, which is why there is a picture of a snake.
Favorites:
I have a picture of Owl City, Black Eyed Peas, Dave Matthews Band, Avatar, the number 17 and Lionel Messi’s jersey. I have a picture of Owl City because I love all of their songs, I also love the band Black Eyed Peas, and Dave Matthews Band. I have a picture of the cover of Avatar because that is my favorite movie. There is the number 17 because that is not only my favorite number but my soccer number. The last picture on this slide is a picture of Lionel Messi’s jersey because he is my favorite soccer player and has inspired me to keep going with soccer.
Emotions:
Under my smiley face column are all the things that cheer me up and make me happier. There is a picture of my family, because they always know how to cheer me up. There is a picture of music notes because music makes me happier. There is also a picture of a soccer ball, because whenever I’m down soccer always cheers me up. The next picture is a picture of someone running, because whenever I am mad I go on a run and I feel much better. The pictures under my frown face are the things that make me sad. One of the pictures was a graveyard, because whenever I see one it reminds me of previous deaths in our family. Another picture under the column is one of an area with bad poverty. This always makes me sad to think what those people are going through who live there.
Life Experiences:
For my life experiences slide I have a picture of a baby boy, the Disney Wide World of Sports, and the Bahamas. My brother Gabe being born was a very big even or experience in my lifetime, he has changed my life in so many ways. A few months ago my soccer team and I were able to compete in the Disney Wide World of Sports tournament in Florida. This was an amazing trip and an unforgettable experience. The last picture of the Bahamas symbolizes my best vacation to the Bahamas. This was the most amazing vacation, the weather was perfect and the sites we saw were amazing.
Conclusion:
This project taught me a lot about myself that I didn’t even know. I have never really thought about some of the questions that were asked in this presentation. It really opened up my mind to bring out my inner feelings and to share it with my peers. I think people will be a little surprised about some of my goals and feelings. This project can really help us understand others and even ourselves.
