Pictionary

When playing pictionary, trying to figure out what all the lines mean that people draw is hard sometimes. The reason for this is because different lines put together can form shapes that can mean various things. There are, however, some universal shapes that we all know such as a skull and crossbones represents death, but draw it on a bottle that can mean poison. Or even draw a skull and cross bones inside of 4 lines that create a box shape, like a flag, can mean pirates. Also using lines in pictionary can create direction or speed. When my class was playing someone tried to draw the word "speed". That person drew a stick figure with 3 lines behind it indicating that the stick figure was moving forward. Universally, those lines behind and object indicates movement. Some people guessed running and fast, both are categories of speed. another way of comminicating with lines in pictionary is emotions. If you place certain types of lines in the right position you can create emotions such as happy, sad, mad, etc. Pictionary is a great game to help understand how lines create different universal shapes, emotions, images and much more, just by arranging lines in different ways.

This is an old picture of my parents. I chose to put a picture of them up because they mean so much to me. They've been there for me even when I was at my worst, and they still continue to show they're love and support with all that I do.

This is a picture of of the greek letters Alpha Delta Omega. This is significant to me because I am apart of a Christian sisterhood called Alpha Delta Omega (or AO for short) that was founded in 1998 on Liberty University's campus. Our colors are purple and white and we step in various shows on and off campus spreading the gospel to any and everybody. This is one of my passions and I love my AO sisters.
