Substance Abuse

Today at school,  a narcotics police officer came to our school to do a presentation about the circumstances for substance abuse like street drugs, prescription drugs, and alcohol. He specifically told us the ramifications of driving under the influence of alcohol and how effect everyone involved in a alcohol related collision. I think that this is the most common occurrence in teens life. And Im very thankful that he made us aware of the dangers of alcohol. I think that all kids should try to be more responsible to themselves.  

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

My opinion on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is that we took for granted the health of the planet and we miss treated it. Pollution is a huge part of this and we must reverse the effects of it on the earth.

Photography

I learned that when taking photos you must keep distractions out of  the photo like unrelated bulidings and shapes. And to step closer to you subject instead of using zoom can offer a good composition. And that taking group photos it is better to get closer and focus in the faces.

Yearbook

This semester the new yearbook creation program Memorybook was used. I found it extremely easy to use and fun to play around with. I enjoyed using creatively in the pages. it was good practice for me to use creativity in my work.  I hope you all  like the work that the  yearbook team did!

Semester #1

This first semester was full of interesting learning experiences. I not only learned new things in my studies, but I also learned things about myself and how I operate in a school environment. This is my first year back in a class room because I was enrolled in the homestudy program through julian charter. So returning to the class room has been enlightening to how I organize myself and stay focused in a more busy lifestyle.
