Pro-life

            First of all, pro-life is an anti-abortion movement, or a social and political movement opposing elective on moral grounds and supporting its legal prohibition. They provide helps to those who are going through different problems during their pregnancy to save the babies if they are thinking about abortion, and also if any, they are proceeding a project that gives hope and healing to those who got abortion. There are many different groups within this movement: Help Outlaw Abortions, Ban Abortions in Your State, Students for Life!, Human Life International, Operation Rescue, Hope and Healing, and etc. On the other side of the abortion debate is the pro-choice movement. Subscribing to different moral grounds than the pro-life movement, pro-choicers hold the view that a woman should have the right to terminate her pregnancy, they also advocate legal abortion as an important facet or women’s reproductive rights.

Future Goal

            To be honest, my future goal doesn’t really have anything to do with my past experiences in my life. By that means, I wouldn’t even try to think about my “dream jobs”. All I want is a stable job that I won’t need to worry about getting fired or worry about the budgets. So I guess I am being a little realistic here. My future “goal” is be a pharmacy consultant. Right now as a sophomore, I am serious about going toward the medical field because, again, I want to stable job for the rest of my future life. But in a way, I guess I do have some other reasons as well. My oldest uncle is a doctor. He was my brother’s and my doctor since we were infants and he helped all my family members for quite a long time. When my mom was a kid, her father had a cancer and her family went through a lot for over 10 years. Because, back then it was hard for people to see the doctor unless they aren’t rich, my grandfather passed away after long years of suffering without getting much help from the hospitals. This hardship, for my uncle, molded him to become a doctor. He really didn’t want the same thing to happen to his mother. As a kid, I heard this story over and over from my own mother and she always encouraged me to be someone who can help the people who are going through hardships for the medical reason with financial problems. I think I will try to achieve my “dream jobs” for hobbies after I get what I want. Someday.

Flash Photography

            First of all, a flash is the device that is used to produce a flash of artificial light to help illuminate the scene in photography. Usually the main purpose to use flash in photography is to brighten the dark scenes but sometimes they could be used to capture fast moving objects or to change the quality of light. Flash photography is the use of a camera flash bulb in a variety of possible situation where there doesn’t seem to be enough light. When taking photos indoor, typical situations would probably be getting not enough lights to take a normal hand-held well-exposed photo. In that case, the solution would be throwing light into a room for an architectural photo or casting light on certain objects in a lighted room that appears too dark for an exposure. One of the other types of flash is fill flash. Fill flash fills in the areas of a photo that would normally have not enough lights or is too dark. It can be used for sunny day portraits for shadows on a subject’s face or to fill any shaded area that is out of the sunlight. It can also be used to boost light into a room where there’s no source of light from the windows. Other than the fill flash, there are many different types of flash, such as red-eye reduction mode, slow sync flash, rear sync flash, stroboscopic flash, and etc.
