Fashion is my passion! I love to do anything related to fashion. I apprieciate beauty, but I am also worried about the humans that take advantage of the world for their own business. Working on this website with my team is a pleasure for me. I am loving what I am doing to show the world how dangerous small things can affect the Earth. Besides working on this website, I also built my own website, which is www.longzone.net

Aloha!   My name is Maria. I love to eat and especially cook, but not just anything. I like cooking desserts. My favorite dessert is German Chocolate Cake. I like to have fun, explore the world and compete. I am a very competitive person; in the past I have been involved with different competitions like the ProStart Edible Centerpiece competition, Culinary Arts competition, FCCLA Star Event competitions and many more. Currently I am getting ready to graduate from High School, to later attend Kendall College . Once at college I will pursue my dream of becoming a pastry chef by working to get a bachelors degree in Hospitality Arts with a two year concentration of Baking and Pastry Arts. My passion is cooking and someday I will accomplish my dreams and open my own bakery, but for now I am here involved with this webpage design. The reason I decided to be a part of this website, Global Runway, is because I also love to sew for my pastime and the things that we have researched on I feel like they are very important. Working with my team to create this website has been a great opportunity to learn and be part of a fabulous team I can refer to as my friends. Thanks to this opportunity I have more knowledge of team and leadership skills for future references. Well that was a little bit about me, I hope you have fun and enjoy our website, Global Runway.

Hi my name is Adilene, I had a lot if fun doing this website. For my future career I want to be an Interior Designer and I would also want to study cosmetology. I will graduate in 2010 from High School and go to college. I also enjoy cooking, drawing, scrap booking and fashion. Well at first, I did not know how to do a website, but I learned many new things about fashion. One of the things I learned is that clothes can be made from bamboo. Also while doing this website I learned that I was bad at researching, but I have improved my skills. When doing a website you learn to work together in a team, which is good for the future. So have fun and enjoy our website.

Alma is my name. Doing this website was a great opportunity to be part of a team and learn the issues of fashion. I'm planning on going to college and getting a business degree. Along with a business degree I am also considering going into the modeling industry. Having the opportunity to learn and experience about fashion and web design has given me knowledge for future references. Concerning myself, I like to have fun, play basketball with my friends and I also enjoy hanging out with my friends.

Original team was Long, Maria, and Adilene; Alma joined our team later. All of us met in Educational Talent Search on a Leadership trip. We discovered our common interest -Fashion. Although Long was the most knowledgable about Web Design, everybody had input on what to include in the design. Maria, Adilene, and Alma did most of the research and writing. One of our team members had IEP for dyslexia, but that was not a problem for us. We took turns reading the research out loud, so she could help paraphrase it. One of our members could not had her Quinceanera, because her dad said she was too fat. We realized that body image is a big issue in fashion industry not just in the United States, but around the world . So, we included Body Image as one of our issue. Some of our parents work at Feedlots and Meat Packing Plants and fair wage is an issue. We also found that was an issue in fashion and included that.

Since only one person in out group have a computer at home, but that person didn't have a Web Site Design software. We had to make arrangments to meet after school or at the local community college. We had done another website through the University of Washington Trio ThinkQuest 2007 and found that it was better to talk about problems as they arose. We made a plan to start, but we continually changed it as we learn new information. There was so much information we had trouble deciding what to include. One of our team members was so conceited, he always want to put his pictures on the website, but finally we compromised. Overall, we got along very well and it was easy to collaborate.

We started a LongZone group where kids can come and talk, eat healthy snacks, exercise together and support each other.
