Weekly Update

So far in the MyLife project we have done multiple different things. We researched and wrote our own proposal to get a skate park in Laton. As a group we wrote and presented the idea for the park. We also began a group as well as an individual blog where we track our progress and ideas. So far I have wrote about how I want to save the Laton Lions Hall. The Lions Hall has been a part of our community for many, many years. It just won't be the same without its traditions.  We were also given a book to read which helps us find our passions to begin our own personal projects. We were also told to write about our passions at the moment to also get a better understanding of what we want to do. I have a general idea on my project. Like I said above, I want to help the Lions Hall. They have so many amazing celebrations that , not only Laton but many other towns, look forward to attending every year. We can't just let it close we need to come together as a community and help save and restore is.

My Passion

My passion is to eventually own my own personal line of cosmetics. I want to be able to create a makeup a makeup that is high end quality with the drugstore price. I also want all types of women to be able to wear it. Women with oily skin, dry skin, combination skin, different skin tones, etc. I do want to have a pretty well known makeup line. Not only for its amazing price, but also for its amazing quality.
I plan on achieving this goal by going to Fresno State College, after I graduate high school of course. I want to get a degree in both business and accounting. I know that the financial point is very important in creating my own product. So with that being said, I won't start producing my cosmetic line until after I have a job and start making more money.
I do want to make a difference in the cosmetic world. I do want to create a makeup with the quality of MAC products, but with the prices of drugstore makeup. I want all women to be comfortable with buying this product, as well as wearing it. Not all people can afford high end makeup, but all people deserve to get makeup with high end quality.

Saving the Laton Lions Club

As many people do not know, the Laton Lions Club is on the verge of ending. I think that we need to get together as a community to get the club back in and running. If some other club or business comes in and buys the hall then there will be nothing traditional about anything that happens.
We should come together and raise awareness that the hall is going to close. We could raise money by getting donations. Hundreds of people enjoy the activities that the Laton Lions Club puts on, we just need to put it out there on what is going on. They are already in the process of having a $5 concert, children 12 years of age and under get in for free, on Sunday, August 24, 2014 from 4 pm to 8 pm. They are having popular local bands play, such Doc's Holiday and also Kevin Willard and the Cadillac Cowboys. We need to spread the word and get together to bring the Laton Lions Hall back on its feet, to keep the traditions going in our small town of Laton.
