WHO AM I?
![Picture](/uploads/4/2/5/1/42511205/1564534.jpg?250)
My name is Raissa, a student at Global Jaya School, this website was created with the intention of becoming the product for my personal project. The picture on the right shows my friend and I (on the right). This project has given me an insight on what it is to be independent. I've never done something like this before, when I was younger everything I had to do was already set, I just had to do it, the criteria's the unit questions etc. This time it's different, I'm making my own topic, I'm making my own criteria's and I'm making my own product. It definitely gives me a sense of independence, and room to grow. My product especially was a great way for me to realize my technological skills, other than that it made me realize just how far I was able to research on a topic, whether or not I was able to distinguish relevant from irrelevant and trust-worthy sources and not so trust worthy sources.
WHY GLOBAL WARMING? WHY GLOBEONFIRE?
I was told to choose any topic I wanted. Before having to choose my topic I had just studied global warming and picked up an interest on how many people didn't really understand it. So what better way to promote the severity of global warming than making a website for it. I killed two birds with one stone because not only did i choose a topic I was interested in, I was allowed to do anything I wanted with this topic. The URL itself; globeonfire.weebly.com came from my friend, I was having trouble finding a suitable URL that would attract people's eyes and at the same time relate to my project. I tried thinking about it for quite a while, but couldn't exactly find the right words. So my I asked my friend; Karissa, whether or not she had ideas on what I should name it, she said "earth on fire", i agreed to it immediately but sadly it wasn't available since another user on weebly has used that URL before, so she came up with alternative URL's and came up with globeonfire, signifying the earth, hence globe, on fire, showing how global warming is heating up our earth's temperature. I decided to go with globeonfire immediately, and after that I named the title of my website "Earth on Fire".
