Leslie Griger's Personality Project



My Family
The first picture on my family slide is a picture of a cabin. I put this on because every summer my family and I all go up north to our cabin, while we’re up there we do a lot of family bonding. Next I put a picture of a cat on my presentation because our family pet is a cat named Boots. The last picture I put on my family slide is a picture of a family picking out a Christmas tree. I added this picture because every year my family picks out our Christmas tree together.

Inherited Features
Next is my inherited features slide, the first picture on this slide is a green eyeball. This represents the fact that I inherited my green eyes from my mom and grandma. Another picture on this slide is of a girl with brunette hair and an arrow pointing towards it, this is showing that I have brunette hair that I inherited from my dad. The last picture is of a girl with an arrow and 5’8’’ next to it. That picture is symbolizing the fact that I am tall, this feature was inherited from my dad and grandpa.

Outer Appearance
There are many things to my outer appearance, one of them has to do with the eagle logo. The eagle logo represents American Eagle Outfitters, I put this on because a large portion of wardrobe is from that store. Next I put the picture of the Herbal Essences Hello Hydration on because that is the shampoo and conditioner I use every morning. The last picture I put on this slide is the picture of the hair straightener, due to the fact that on most days I straighten my hair before going to school.

Inherited Traits
I have inherited many traits from different parts of my family. For example, I have inherited very good eyesight from my grandma which is represented by the glasses with the slash through them. Another trait I have inherited from my father is the allergies I get every spring. The last picture of the right hand symbolizes the fact that I am right-handed, just like everyone else in my family.

Social Behavior
The first picture I put on this slide is of Taylor Swift. I chose to put a picture of her on because she is my role model, she seems very nice, and I love the sound of her voice. Next, I added the logo of Pewaukee High School to show that a large portion of my socializing is done at school, and at Pewaukee sporting events. The last picture I put on this slide is of a movie theater, this was put on because one of my favorite things to do with friends is go to movies.

Talents, Skills, & Abilities
When I created this slide the first thing that came to mind was horse-back riding. This came to mind because horse-back riding has been my hobby for about 5 years now, and I love doing it. Another thing that came to mind was basketball, because I’m in select I consider basketball an ability I have. The final thing I put on this slide is a trumpet for the reason that I learned to play trumpet in 5th grade, and yet I still remember how to play a few songs.

Future Plans
Out of the many plans I have for the future, I picked the three that are most important to me. The first one is represented by the m, it is the logo for Minnesota University which is the college I dream of attending. The next picture is of a women holding a cat, this is showing that I want to be a veterinarian when I grow up. The last picture is of a family, this is representing that after I get out of college and have a steady job I would really like to have a family.

Fears & Pet Peeves
When I was creating this slide I began by thinking about my pet peeves, and the first thing that came to mind was when people tell secrets to other people right in front of your face. This is one of my biggest pet peeves because to prevent it all someone would have to do is walk away and tell the secret in private, but most people don’t do this. A big fear I have is of spiders, they are disgusting creatures, and they crawl everywhere e you don’t want them to. The other fear I have is of failing test, it would be a complete nightmare if I got a test handed back that had an F on it.

Eating Habits
I have good and bad eating habits, an example of a bad one is that I don’t like vegetables; this is represented by the vegetables with the slash through them. A good eating habit I have is that my absolute favorite food are pomegranates, they are sweet and very tasty. The last eating habit I have is that I love T.G.I. Friday’s, every time my family and I go out to dinner I suggest going there.

Favorites
The first picture I put on this slide is of Taylor Lautner because he is my favorite actor, I really enjoy all the movies he is in. Next, I put on a picture of a Siberian Husky, for the reason that out of all animals I like these dogs the most. Another favorite I have is the number 14, this is my favorite number because it is the date I was born on in November, and it is also my basketball number for select. I also put on a picture of a child holding math signs because math is my favorite subject, I like it the most because I really enjoy the fact that math is either right or wrong, it is not based on opinion of your teacher. The last picture I put on this slide is of the Twilight series, I put this on because it is my all-time favorite book series.

Emotions
The first picture I put on this slide is the one of my friends and I, I chose this picture because just about every time I’m with my friends I am happier then I was a couple minutes before. After, I put on a picture of boxing gloves and a punching bag. I put this picture on because I feel boxing is a good way to get out your negative feelings, and it can also make your stress level go down. The final picture I put on is of a beach, I put this on because every single time I walk onto the sand of a beach it causes me to feel relaxed and calm because of the sound of the waves in the water.

Life Experiences
The life experience I remember the most has to do with the picture of the treadmill. When I was about 5 years old I was in a exercise room on a treadmill, then all of a sudden I decided it would be a good idea to put the dial all the way up to high. As I did this I fell on the treadmill and got cuts all over my body. The next picture of the basketball trophy is representing the day I got my first trophy for rec basketball, I was very proud of myself. The very last picture is of a girl cutting her own hair, which is unfortunately what I did when I was three, it was not a very good experience considering I got yelled at by my parents.

All in all I there were many things I really liked about this project. For example, it saved a lot of time that we didn’t have to do bibliographies, because those are very time consuming. I also liked that we got to use technology for this project, as I was doing it I found out new information about Power Point. Even though I liked most of this project the one thing I didn’t like is the writing. I understand that everyone has to know what the pictures mean, but writing a long essay sometimes causes students to lose interest in the project.
