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.

We finished the scavenger hunt in school on Friday, so there wasn't any pictures we had to take at home.  My favorite is our birds eye view of a trashcan.  I think we can edit it to make something frowned upon in our society and make it look cool.  It will be hard to make trash look cool though.

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?

The only thing I know how to do is edit on Instagram because it gives you the option right before you post it, but I never post any picture on social media anymore.  I just never found the need to.  I would like to learn how to Photoshop pictures though; it sounds fun to combine two unlike things.  I  think you can tell from my other blog posts that I don't take a lot of pictures of my own.  Taking photos doesn't really interest me.

Welcome back! Go ahead. Tell me all about your Spring Break. Include photos!

For the first part of my Spring Break, my family and I went to Chicago for a vacation.  We visited the city and all of the huge buildings such as the Sears Tower and the Hancock Tower.   We went to Chicago because that is where my dad grew up and we have family there, so we visited them as well.  When we returned it was a lot of sleeping until 1 P.M.  I enjoyed this Spring Break and I'm not going to lie, but coming back sucks.  I apologize for no pictures, but I couldn't figure out Google Drive.

Who do you look up to in your life? Why do you look up to them? Tell me about them and some of their characteristics that you admire.

I look up to mom.  She is an amazing woman, hard worker, and super laid back.  She is a single mom with two boys to take care of and we always come first. Her personality shows she loves us, but she isn't too strict about the things we do, as long as it isn't illegal.

Tell me about your weekend.

My family and I went out to eat a lot this weekend.  For my mom's friend's birthday, we went to Kyoto, the Japanese Steakhouse.  After that, I stayed up until 3:00 AM on Friday night and Saturday night.  On Sunday, we went to that new place that replaced Wil Jenny's.  I think it's called the Tilted Kilt.

If you were the Principal for a week at BVHS, what would that look like? What changes would you make? Why?

I would change the schedule requirements.  I do not understand why we need art credits if we know that art doesn't appeal to us.  The school lunches need to change.  I don't like eating flavorless cardboard and microwaved paper.  School lunches all around the world are way better compared to American school lunches.

If you were to give somebody advice about presenting, what are the top 10 things you would tell them?

1. Maintain eye contact- It shows confidence
2. Don't talk too fast- People will be overwhelmed
3. Don't talk too slow- People will lose interest
4. Use your hands when you speak- It will help the flow
5. Dress to the occasion- if it's for a job, wear a suit
6. Do not wing the presentation- preparation is important
7. Don't have a bunch of words on your slides- pictures are more appealing
8. Posture is important- It looks more professional
9. Include your audience- It keeps them more interested in your presentation
10. Have some comedy- people will actually enjoy being there

Tell me about your weekend.

My weekend was just getting prepped for baseball tryouts this week.  I had a hitting and pitching lesson on Sunday.  We were also dog sitting a Beagle named Daisy and a Boston Terrier named Oreo this weekend.  Our family had an entire pack of dogs in our house, so I guess you could say it was a fun weekend.
