Did you complete the photo scavenger hunt? What kind of fun pictures were you able to capture? Did you do all your photos at school or did you do some at home over the weekend? Share one of your favorites.
I completed the assignment using pictures from school and home. Because I was using my phone to take the pictures, I didn't get very good quality photos. However, most of my photos turned out pretty well. One of my favorites is a picture of old library books that I used for my "something forgotten" picture.

What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest?
I don't know much about photography and I have never taken a photography class before, but I have taken lots of pictures with my phone before. I know that you have to focus on whatever you're trying to capture to get a quality photograph. I also edit a lot of photos before I post them on social media. I know from this that you can't over edit the photos, or they will look fake. You have to limit your use of the editing tools and use them only to enhance the photos, not cover them up. I enjoy photo editing a lot and I am excited to use my editing in our next project.

Welcome back! Go ahead. Tell me all about your Spring Break. Include photos!
Welcome back! Go ahead. Tell me all about your Spring Break. Include photos!
I had an amazing Spring Break this year. My family and I went to Cancun, Mexico for 5 days and it was really fun. Our hotel was right on the beach and we had a beautiful view of the ocean. The beach was less than a one minute walk from our hotel room. My brother, sister, and I woke up early almost every morning to watch the sunrise over the ocean. We had an amazing time at the beach. Also, the three of us got to swim with dolphins, which was by far the highlight of my trip. When we got back home, I went to my cousins' farm in Missouri and brought back 4 baby ducklings that my cousins gave to us. We are now raising them until they get older. My Spring Break was lots of fun and I didn't want it to end.

If you were to help someone have the best presentation possible, what are the 10 pieces of advice you would give them?
1. Make Sure All Your Information is Relevant and Readable: The most important piece of your presentation is the information you are sharing, so make sure the audience can understand it.
2. Stand up Straight: If you stand up straight you look more professional and confident about what you are presenting.
3. Don't Just Read the Slides: Make sure you aren't just reading the information directly from the slides, you need to elaborate and further explain your information to the audience.
4. Engage Your Audience: Make sure the audience stays interested in your presentation so they will absorb more of your information.
5. Demonstrate Your Knowledge of the Topic: By elaborating on the slides and remaining confident, you can show your audience that you really know your information
6. Be Confident: Be confident in what you are presenting, you know what you're doing.
7. Use hand Gestures When Needed: It is okay for you to use hand gestures when you're presenting information, just don't use too many or you will distract the audience from your information.
8. Look Interested: If you are bored with your topic, your audience will be too. Let your facial expressions and body language demonstrate your interest in the topic.
9. It's Okay to Move a Little: You don't have to stand stick-straight the entire time, move around a little bit if that makes you more comfortable.
10. Stay Focused: Stay focused on your information, don't get sidetracked by the audience or other ideas you may want to share.

Tell me about your weekend.
Over the weekend I participated in Relay for Life, went shopping for Spring Break, and had a volleyball tournament. On Friday night I went to JCCC with a lot of friends to participate in Relay for Life. It was my first time participating in Relay and it was a lot of fun! After Relay, I went shopping for new swimsuits and summer clothes for my trip to Cancun. On Sunday, I had a volleyball tournament in Independence, Missouri. Our team played up a division in the 17s tournament. We placed third overall and I am very proud of my team.

If you were the Principal for a week at BVHS, what would that look like? What changes would you make? Why?
If you were the Principal for a week at BVHS, what would that look like? What changes would you make? Why?
If I were principal at BVHS for a week, I would strive to make school an educational and fun environment. While it is important that we learn the information we need for college and our future careers, school should also be focused on enjoying education and spending time making relationships with real people. I feel that this is an important part of high school so if I were principal I would set aside time for just socializing. I would also incorporate fun activities that the students would enjoy into all classrooms so they would be able to better comprehend the information and enjoy learning. I feel that these changes would help our school and everyone in it.

This weekend I had a volleyball tournament and went to the World War 1 Museum with some friends for extra credit in AP Euro. My tournament was on Saturday in Lawrence and my team did pretty well! We got 3rd overall but we all played very well as individuals. On Sunday, my friends Kailey, Lydia and I went downtown to the WW1 museum. We looked at the main exhibit and took notes for the paper we are writing for AP Euro. It was a very educational trip. After the museum, Lydia and I lead worship for youth group at Legacy Christian Church.
