SilkFMX210

      For this project, I decided initially that I wanted to do an army theme involving hunter green, so I took a picture of myself doing a salute. However no matter how many different backgrounds I tried, I couldn't get my features to show, so I had to change the background to black and use my flash and adjust the exposure in my image in order to make this version work. Once I did this, I had to crop my image to 8.5x11, and I realized that it would be more relevant today to make it about COVID-19 since both WW2 and COVID-19 are global battles, we all have to come together to defeat the enemy (COVID).

  Dea r future Ray,     Currently I am 21 years old, and I a m in my junior year of college taking FMX 210.  I’m dating the girl that I'm going to marry and can’t wait to do so after college . Normally I’m a happy person, it takes a lot to ruin my day, and I hope future me is the same way. After I graduate, I want to marry the girl I  love,   and advertise  for a tech firm until I  can afford to start my own  business.  My goals  for today are to pay more attention to the stock market, focus on graduating on time, and to be as active as possible. While I love college, I want to get out there and work so I can start my adulthood and finally feel like I’m the one that’s controlling my life. I know that in the future I would do anything to come back to college, but for me right now  I just feel trapped. It is a blessing to be in college, but I feel like an outcast since my goals in life seem different from everybody  else's ....
