For college you have many things to consider when you apply , the cost of college , the essay , the one that is best for you. Many times you can get a scholarship which is very good since it is a college that fits your needs and the cost is no reason to worry , you are also accepted instantly. But those who don't get a scholarship are not so fortunate. You need to start saving or ask you parents to create a collage fund, you should keep a high GPA so that you may be considered in various colleges , your essays should be well revised and show your personality.

 my other question is what happens if you don't get accepted into the collages you want but have a good enough GPA, so why didn't they accept you ?

Thing I learnt about the topic:

• white hat hackers are good 
• white hat hackers are hired by companies to look for possible security breaches
• There are many white hat hackers that do it as a hobbies and notify people by e mail
• hacker means security breaker 
• it began when a security check was conducted by the us air force.

How it relates in my life: people are normally hacking in to social pages like Facebook and Hotmail to find information or create acts of vandalism but white hat hacking is very different because it is for a good reason , they help people find holes in their security systems. And many people hire them to check their computers. so it relates to my life because I might hire someone to check my computer for any security breaches.

Questions:
1. is it illegal to be a unregistered white hat hacker ?
2. what is the difference between hacker and cracker?

Google day 1

three goals for today :

1. Create blog for project
2. Find tutorials
3. Find pictures we want to edit

Today I learnt how to cut a picture and put it into another , I also learnt how to distort an image. next class I want to learn how to get a picture a better quality , also how to give it effects.

GOOGLE 20 %

I want to learn to do photo editing because I think that it would be a very interesting tool that I would use a lot. For photo editing I want to learn to retouch the picture to make it look better, change the coloration , changing hair color, mosaic , fill a photo with photos, add a sparkle trail to a photo, inserting images, dynamic distortion effects, color combustion, edit eyes, and in general give the picture a better look.

My partner and I will present our project in a few different ways. One will be an i movie showing the pictures before editing and after editing , we will make campaigns about a product and edit them to make them look interesting, we will make a tutorial on how to do the basic editing skills and we will create a website at the end containing all of the things we have done so that other people  can access it and learn new things.
