I think that it is hard to think about  what teacher goes through to try to help the students with their education. I think he is trying to say that he is ready to challenge the kids no matter how frustrated or mad they get. He wants to push them to overcome the greater adversities to come as they grow and have the strength to push through every problem that might occur later in their life.  The main point is to put more pressure one students to succeed in school and have that will to push through.

My groups stop motion project is a coke bottle rolling down the hallways then spinning down the end of the hallway and finally rolling into a trash can. We basically went down the 400 hallway and started about halfway through it and reach to the 600 hallway from there making it into the trash can.

What was your stop motion animation about? Why did you choose your video to be about this? Was it because it was easy, because it would be fun, or it would be challenging? Explain your reasoning behind your project (and be honest).
If you could rate your stop motion on a 1-10 scale. 1 being low effort and no very good and 10 being out of this world/mindblowing, how would you rate your project? Explain why.
In hindsight, what would you do differently the second time around? Better lighting? Time management? Explain yourself.
Explain what makes your stop motion animation unique. How do you believe you thought "outside of the box" on this project?
What grade do you feel you deserve on this project? Explain your reasoning. 

1. It was about a baseball traveling through different obstacles around the kitchen table. I thought it would be creative to try something different from what I originally planned to do. I didn't know if it would be easy at first, but once I got the hang of the process, it was pretty simple. I basically did most of the setups while taking the pictures and I made it work the way I wanted it to be.  
2. I would give my project a 8 because my obstacles were creative and that I made it look like a actual obstacle course. 
3. I would of put more obstacles in, spread out my obstacles a little more, and Use a more wide open area. 
4. I would say my obstacles where creative and probably putting a smile face at the end made it more unique. 
5. I think my project deserves like a 80%-85% because I didn't think I put a lot effort into it with not spreading my project out. I do think I made the obstacles more different from one another and that I made it seem like the baseball was enjoying the obstacle.

3 day weekend... how was it? Give me a good story or something funny that happened this weekend. Go. 

I would say I had a pretty good weekend and it wasn't as bad I thought it would be. I had rugby game which wasn't as bad we were playing the Rockhurst Jr. Blues which are the number 4 rank team in the nation. I thought we were going to get destroyed, but surprisingly we hanged there for a while until they broke away. I also got to hang with some my friends and managed to make some money working for my dad. So in the end it was a pretty solid weekend.

Tell me ALL about what your idea is for your stop-motion animation. I need detail. Who is going to help you take photos? What props do you need? Where do you plan on shooting? EXPLAIN everything.

I decided to change it up by putting a baseball on my kitchen table and putting it through a bunch of obstacles. I start at the end of the table, put a bunch of obstacles, and then make its way to the back to the end of the table. Then at the end it will smile real big knowing that it made it past all those obstacles. I do not need any help on this, but if I did I would have my brother help me.

Tell me all about your weekend and please share photos!

This weekend was good I worked and made some good money this weekend. I also had a rugby game that went really well, but sadly we lost. I had good game I scored and made some good break a ways through the last half of the game. It was a excellent game for my team to build on as the season goes on.

What do you love most about this time of year? Explain why you love it. 

I love that I can go outside and enjoy the beautiful, warm weather. The best thing about it is that rugby season rolls around during this time which makes it perfect because who doesn't play in warm weather. I can go on runs outside and not on a treadmill and get the grill going with some good food. Puts me in a better mood and makes me very happy person.

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 and I was able capture some interesting pictures around the school. I did Most of them at school, but I managed to do some at home. There are a lot ways to create a good picture with any setting and using a simple object.

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 know that it is considered art depending on the editing and detailing of the picture. I take take photos on occasions when I'm on vacation or some other big event and I usually take pictures with my phone or digital camera. Sometimes because editing can make the picture look better or worse. By filtering just to make it look really good and I don't really have any background knowledge  of photography because it doesn't really interest me that much. Not really intrigued by it, but curious about photography.

I went to Cancun, Mexico and it was really nice there! I got to drink legally and chill on the beach all day and the best part of my hotel was that everything was inclusive. I did a lot activities like play soccer with the locals, zip line, snorkel, and cliff jump it was really nice. I had really good time and I wish I can go again!

What are you doing for Spring Break?  

I am going to Cancun, Mexico and I can't wait it's so exciting. A week on the beach and relaxing by the pool sounds more fun than staying at home. I am going to try surfing, cave diving, and wind surfing I literally can't wait.

Tell me about your weekend. 

Well my weekend was good and all my rugby teammates came to my house to do team branding. I really didn't want one, but they forced me to do it and now I have a brand of a X. Now I have to live with a giant scar and I so regret getting a brand.

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

Probably look like a whole new school setting and I would have a giant office where I have enough room to play golf, basketball, and have a giant flat screen on the wall. I would have less assemblies and give more time for the students study during tiger time. I would also change the vending machines to regular snacks that are not to healthy and not to fating.

Tell me about your weekend. 

I basically stayed home because I couldn't really do anything because of the snow and my car can't really make it in the snow. Once the snow melted away a little bit I went to the gym and my family celebrated my sisters birthday. I would say it wasn't to bad of a weekend, but I wish I could of gone to Tulsa for a rugby tournament.
