This is a picture of my car. It shows that when you park there is an alert to check your rear seats. So if someone has a bad memory, it reminds you to check to see if your child or children are in the back.
If you like the idea then um you can put me in top 3, 5, or last. I like last. Thank you.

I think medicine is innovative! If we didn't have medicine, people wouldn't be able to survive the things that they have gone through in their lives.
For me, if there were no improvements made in medical innovation, I wouldn't be alive. I, myself, have survived things that only 10-15 years ago had a high mortality rate. So I am here today because of great strides in medicine and medical innovation.

When I took this photo, I was in my backyard watching the sunset. Then I realized that the sun is a giant light bulb, so I got a light bulb and my phone then took as many photos as possible, and then I found the perfect one before it got dark. Why my photo relates to this year's theme "Innovation" because it makes you try to think of more ideas than just one, and if we are stuck anywhere in life then we could try getting a new idea to try to get out of it.

My cousin and I were on a walk in Washington DC, and we stopped to look at nature. He found a new sense of peace from this. This is a symbol of new life growing with the older plants.

My parents were born in Hawaii and most of the family lives there, so we travel to Hawaii often. This time around, we went towards December and stayed through the New Year. Usually, when my family celebrates the New Year in California we stay up til midnight and maybe pop the little confetti cannons. But in Hawaii, we celebrated by doing traditions that were passed down in my culture.
My photo shows one of the many traditions, making mochi, a rice cake, to later have on New Year's Day. Traditionally, mochi is made by hand using a large wooden mallet and bowl, pounding the rice til it is smooth and sticky. This process is called mochitsuki. Over time, we have started to use manual machines that would do this process for us.
The photo shows my family forming the mochi after it has been pounded. Doing this with my family was refreshing after not doing these traditions back in California and helped me connect with my culture.

Brock Purdy was drafted as a quarterback, number 262 in the NFL draft as “Mr. Irrelevant.” This means he was the very last person to be drafted to a team in the 2022 NFL draft. At 22 years old, he expected to be riding the bench for a few years. Little did he know that the two starting quarterbacks would get injured early in the season and he would be the starting quarterback.
Brock brought his young and innovative way of thinking to the 49ers to become the 2022 NFC West Champions. He won 12 games in a row, beat many records, and won AP rookie of the year. Without Brock’s innovative way of thinking, the 49ers would have lost almost every game this season.

I took the photo on an overpass over a freeway with many buildings in the background. This refers to innovation in many ways. It shows how far cars have come, it shows how many buildings have come and it shows electricity and how easy it is to access it. There are many different bright lights in the image which is where I came up with the title of Night Lights. It took me a couple of weeks to plan and figure out but after I got my masterpiece. I think that my photo is great and I hope you do too!

This photo was taken in Paris, France of an Old Clock and fits the idea of innovation quite well.

Near my house there is a nice town that my friends and I love to go to. There are many shops and good places to eat. They make the area very trendy which attracts more people. This relates to innovation because it’s the development of a cute city.
