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.

Yes I just completed this very fun scavenger hunt! I captured some fun pictures with my best friend Rachel Trout along with Hannah Judy. I completed all of the photos at BVHS. This is one of my favorite pictures!

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?

Photos are a captured image from real life or other things. When you edit images you change them is some way, either the size or the color or any other details of the image. I take quite a few photos, not as many as I used too because my camera no longer works. I take photos using the camera on my phone. Sometimes I decide to edit my pictures but usually I do not! I use the filters that are avaliable on Instigram and Twitter.

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

Spring Break 2k15 was a rather uneventful event. I had to work every single day from the Wednesday we got off school until the following Wednesday! I saw a lot of dogs, but was also very tired of work. I saw a cat get it's leg amputated because it refused to wear a cast or splint. I clocked more than 35 hours at work in 7 days. The rest of break was spent with my sister and family eating out and enjoying the nice weather. I didn't take any pictures during the break because I was busy with my family and working.!

What are you doing for Spring Break?

This spring break will not be one for the books. :( I have to work every day from this Wednesday to next Wednesday with only one break, at that is on Saturday- to take the SAT. After work I will spend time hanging out with my friends, going to the park, and hanging out outside. My sister is coming home from college on Monday and we will spend time together because I never have time to see her! My parents are both working so I won't see much of them, but I will still have fun.

Tell me about your weekend!

RELAY!!!!!! This weekend was centered around the annual Blue Valley Youth Relay for Life! I arrived at JCCC at 4:30 in the afternoon to help set up for the event. We had a record number of students attend this year's Relay! Over 1600 students, parents, and teachers were there to help fight cancer. I was the Junior Chair of the event so I had the responsibility of dealing with all the fun problems that arose during the night! We raised over $213,000 for the fight against cancer. I got home at about 8:30 in the morning and slept all day! I then went to the girls basketball game on Saturday night, and spent all of Sunday relaxing and doing homework!

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 of Blue Valley for one week I would make a lot of changes, first off to the dress code. It is not the responsibility of girls to keep boys attention on their own work, if boys can wear tank tops, then girls can wear shirts that are backless. If boys are allowed to wear saggy pants with their underwear showing, it is okay for girls to wear Nike shorts. My second change as principal would be to redesign a schedule that allowed for more than 6 minute passing periods, students are expected to be fully invested in one class and then another and change on the turn of a dime. Allowing more time for students to relax and unwind between classes for make them more prepared and more focused in their next classes.

Tell me about your weekend.

This was quite a fun weekend! I went to the girls, boys, and staff basketball games on Friday, these were very fun games. On Saturday I had a hair cut at 10:30 in the morning, I then went home and relaxed. I went to a movie on Saturday afternoon, and then went to a Ping Pong tournament with my friends on Saturday night. On Sunday I worked with my friend Anna, and then I did all of my homework and watched some Netflix.
