I started animation at the age of 11. And I finished my first film when I was 14.

Sounds nice but it's not really encouraging for me. I'm 17, I want to be an animation director one day and I only started drawing this year.

Yay :DD

Japanese Numbers

Hundreds (100, 200, 300 so on)

100 is 百 (sen) and as what happened with 10 十 (juu). To say 200, 300, 400 and so on, you simply put the number before it. Pattern: number + 百 (hyaku) 200 is 二百 500 is 五百 Take note about the irregulars in hundreds though. There are 3 of them 300 is 三百 san byaku 600 is 六百 roppyaku 800 is 八百 happyaku What happened here is 6 and 8 are contracted and the ひ (hi) in ひゃく is turned into ぴ (pi) and び (bi). Irregular number like this will show up a lot when counting things. But you will get to remember them the more you use it.

…………………………………………

Thousand (1000, 2000, so on)

1000 is 千 (sen). The pattern is similar to tens and hundreds.  2000 is 二千 ni sen 8000 is 八千 hachi sen Things to note: 4000 is ALWAYS yon sen 7000 is ALWAYS nana sen Irregulars: 3000 is 三千 san zen 8000 is 八千 hassen

…………………………………………

Ten Thousands

10.000 is 一万 (ichi man). Unlike 十(10), 百 (100) and 千 (1000), you need to mentioned the 一 (ichi) to say 10.000 Simply replace the 一 (ichi) with another number you want to say. There are no irregulars in ten thousands :D 20.000 is 二万 ni man 50.000 is 五万 go man Things to note: 40000 is ALWAYS yon man 70000 is ALWAYS nana man

The flood.

Saturday, August 13th 2016 Denham Springs, Louisiana Me and my friends were frantically texting each other, trying to get a hold of one another. We had no idea if they had gone under or if they were okay. One of my friends texted me saying “There is no water here, I am safe.” The same friend twenty minutes later texted me saying “My house is under water.” I have never been so scared in my entire life, I had no idea if my house was going to go under or not, or if some of my friends were even still alive. Many of my friends houses were full of water, them stranded on their roofs. I watched on the news as I saw the only town I have ever lived in be destroyed by water. My high school started filling up with water. Everyone was terrified. The most sickening feeling was getting text messages saying “Kayla, I am scared. I don’t know if I am going to be okay.”

Sunday, August 14th 2016 Denham Springs, Louisiana I woke up and looked out my window. I screamed when I saw the water had risen three feet. I ran outside to see the water was four inches from coming into my house. I checked on my friends, everyone I knew had lost everything or was stranded in their houses. There was no way to get out of my house, the water was chest deep and the currents were strong. Even if we wanted to leave, we couldn’t. We were stranded. The water started to rise, and then the rain came. The water started leaking into my house. I was scared. I was so scared. Soon after the water started coming up through the floors, the water stood at a stand-still. It stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity. I had no idea if it would rise suddenly, taking all of my belongings and memories with it, just like it did to my friend’s. The water then fell a foot. The water was no longer in my house, but stayed very high throughout the day. The threat was still there. We then began to realize that we had little food and water. We scavenged whatever we could from my house to make a small dinner for my family. I looked on the news, only to see that my school had been flooded over the roof. The school that only a few days prior I was laughing and learning at. I saw everything. I saw the neighborhoods and shops flooded up to the rooftops. I saw the children and babies being rescued by helicopters from a deadly situation. I saw the amazing Coast Guard and National Guard rescuing people by boat and helicopter. I saw residents going out, risking their own lives to save the lives of others. I saw thousands of people homeless with nothing to their name except the clothes on their backs and the children in their arms. I saw heartbreak, all across my city. All across my state. 

Monday, August 15th 2016 Denham Springs, Louisiana Today I wake up and the water has dropped two feet. I am one of the lucky ones, and I am eternally grateful. Many of my friends remain in shelters, unable to leave. There is no way to get out of the city. The roads are flooded and broken. I am so thankful that my friends are now safe, and out of harms way. I am stranded in my home, still unable to leave. Still unable to get food. I am so saddened by this destruction and this terrible situation we are all in. The places we made these memories at may be gone, but the memories will never be washed away. My heart is broken, but my spirits are not. I know we will come out of this strong. It will take a long time to rebuild my city, but the community is stronger than ever. We must rejoice that our family and friends have come out of this alive, not be mournful of the items we have lost. Items and buildings are replaceable but our lives are not.
