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 did complete the photo scavenger hunt, and I captured lots of fun pictures from fire alarms to people fighting. I tried my best to finish my pictures at school, but I ended up having to take some at home so that I could finish the scavenger hunt.

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 or photo editing, because I am not that much of a "picture taking" person. If I were to be a picture taking person, I guess I would take pictures like a normal person, not too close up or not too far away, but just the right distance. I don't really upload pictures I take onto social media, but when I do, I prefer not to use a filter because I think they are basically pointless. I don't really have any background with photo editing, but I do hope to learn a lot this unit. I'm not really sure if I will like this unit, and that I will just do my best to get an A in it, because I have never had an interest with taking pictures.

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

My Spring Break was lots of fun and I had an amazing vacation. Over the break I got to go to Winter Park, Colorado to go skiing with my family. Skiing was tons of fun because the first two days I was there the weather was amazing, but the last day I was there, not so much. On the day that we were supposed to head back home, we found out that there was going to be a snowstorm! So my family and I decided that we could stay another night at the condo and wait out the storm, but when we woke up there was only a dusting and the entire storm went to Keystone, another ski resort in Colorado. So we left as planned and the car rides seemed like they took forever, and they really did because each ride was 12 hours long! But when I got home I felt like I could finally relax and then the next day, I watched the new episode of The Walking Dead.

What are you doing for Spring Break?

For the first time in a few years, I am actually going somewhere for Spring Break! In a few days, my family and I will be going skiing in Winter Park, Colorado. I am really looking forward to this because skiing is one of my favorite things to do, and I get to do it for 5 days straight! The only downside to the vacation, is that I will have to drive some of the way to Colorado. Even though I will only drive for an hour, I am not looking forward to that.

Tell me about your weekend.

My weekend was great, and I got a lot of good news. On Saturday, my mom got a condo in Winter Park, Colorado to go skiing for a whole week and I am really excited about that. Also on Saturday, I got to stay at home, relax, and watch TV. But Sunday Wasn't the best because we lost an hour of sleep, but that wasn't that big of a deal. Since I didn't have baseball that day, I just sat at home and waited for The Walking Dead to get on. The episode was great! And I can't wait for next week.

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

If I was the principal for a week at BVHS, there would be quite a few things that I would change. First off, I would unblock the school WI-FI so students could go on websites such as You-Tube, Spotify, and Snapchat. In the hallways, you would see vending machines with food students would actually buy, like gum, candy bars, non-diet soda, etc. Because with the vending machines that we have now, there aren't that many good options to choose from.

1. Have something interactive that the audience can do such as a small survey.
2. Have an interesting topic that the audience wont get bored hearing.
3. Have good ideas to go along with the topic.
4. Don't stutter while you are talking.
5. Know the topic to the best of your ability, so you don't sound like you are just reading from cards.
6. Look confident by standing up straight and maybe some hand gestures.
7. Make eye contact with your peers so you are not just staring at the screen.
8. If it isn't too serious of a topic, crack an occasional joke to keep the audience interested.
9. Lots of pictures and not very many words on a slide to not make the audience bored just hearing someone talk.
10. Have an attention grabber to get the audience's attention at the beginning, and to get them focused on the presentation..

Tell me about your weekend.

This weekend was just like any other weekend I have had, because it is the same schedule every week. On Saturday, I didn't do much besides sitting at home and watching TV. But, since there was snow on the roads, my dad decided to take me driving so I could get used to it. That was pretty fun because I would spin out and do donuts in the snow. On Sunday, I had my basketball game then after that I did all of my homework. Thirdly, I went to baseball for two hours and then I got home and watched an episode of The Walking Dead.
