For this project, I wrote a timeline consisting of facts and major events in my life. Then, I translated it into Spanish and recorded myself reading it. Although my translation is extremely inaccurate, I made the recording in order to track my progress. To watch the video, click here, to read the english translation, look below.
Spanish Essay
2/X/15 My name is Natasha Oslinger, I am 15 years old, and live in Encinitas, California. I am interested in traveling, art, mythology, and space.
1/30/15 I book a ticket to travel alone to Switzerland. As of now, I have been to 9 countries, and 7 states in the US.
12/19/14 I donate 14 inches of my hair and dye it blue. A kid at the supermarket asks if im a boy, I say no. He asks if I’m an alien, I say yes.
6/13/14 My sister is born. She is the love of my life.
7/24/14 I go to the Louvre in France and spend hours looking at art. My favourite artist is Vincent Van Gogh.
7/21/14 I get lost in Italy. No one can speak English and I don’t have a phone. I learn self reliance, and how to communicate with hand gestures and bribes.
9/6/14 I dissect a human body and begin preparation to apply for medical school, I have never been more excited than when I’m studying to be a doctor.
6/29/13 I see my favorite band live, since then I have seen them live 4 times, as well as 24 others.
5/17/11 My mom asks me what I want to be when I grow up, “I don’t know a doctor maybe,” this was a lie. There is no way I would ever want to be a doctor, I thought.
3/11/10 I drown in my pool. God, I am happy to be alive.
7/14/08 I am attacked by a dog while walking at night and think I think it is werewolf. This sparks my interest with all things mythology, demonology, witchcraft, and extraterrestrial. I accumulate the nicknames “Spooky Tash,” “Harry Potter,” and “That Weird Girl Who Thinks She Is Turning Into A Werewolf.”
9/6/99 I am born in Alston, England. Dear God it’s cold.
