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?

All i know about taking photos is using the setting on my phone or my mom's special camera. the only editing I've ever done are using the options on my phone. I take photos of things that look cool, funny or interesting. I don't post many on social media so I usually only crop them. I have no prior knowledge in photo taking. I have no interest to learn about it.

Tell me about your weekend. Share pics!

My weekend was pretty bland. All I did was watch TV, mow a lawn, practice guitar, and listen to the comedy channel with my parents by our homemade fire pit. This guy John Capurela was hilarious! the song i'm practicing for guitar is hotel California but were still learning some of the cords for it so it will take a while. I have a lot of trouble with my bar cords. bar cords are where you  place one finger on most or all six strings and other frets further down and still play every string. Its harder for me because I have small hands.

Below is a letter written to the editor who wrote the article 'Enforcement of dress code creates negative effect' that your blogged about last week. Most of you wrote on your blog that you agreed with the writer. What are your thoughts after reading the letter below and seeing a different perspective. Are they the same? Are the different? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

My opinion is actually almost entirely the same. The only article above states a lot about being a professional adult and having a time and place to wear the attire being discussed but never tells what they're opinion about where this attire should be worn. There is also a difference between what a teacher can wear to school and what a student should be allowed. At school a teacher is at work, doing their jobs to educate us which calls for somewhat professional clothing. Students, however much they are learning are doing more than just cramming for tests. They are learning to deal with other people and situation they'll experience in life with their peers. They're socializing which calls for more freedom of dress, although not out of control. Other than that my opinion has stayed the same. I'd also like to say that yes the Administrations intentions are good, but the way they go about is often flawed,

I personally don't know what kind of life I will have but I do know if I were to take classes towards preparing for life there would be some big changes. If I wanted to be a business man for example I would be taking classes entirely focused on business and finance and real world situations of a business. these seven classes would be somewhat like the following.

1. Business Essentials
2. Personal Finance
3. Business Internship
4. Web Design
5. Marketing
6. Promoting
7. Real World Situations

We would study up on the basics of business and left to develop the finer points of it on our own. We would spend time in class by going over the basics of each essential topic but always using relevant real world situations. These classes would be vastly different from the current one because they wouldn't be confined to just what some book is telling you or what the school expectations of business are.

The following article was in the September issue of The Tiger Print. Read the article (even if you already have) and respond to it below. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Consider all perspectives of the article while you respond.

In my opinion, the teachers of blue valley high should not "sneer" at students sarcastically because they don't agree with that students outfit. I think that while some restriction is good that there should be limits to how much a teacher can limit. If the teacher knows you or is familiar with you than i think its fine if they speak up. But, if said teacher doesn't know said student, they should pull the student aside at a convenient time without drawing attention like as peaple are leaving at the bell. in my opinion, based of this article that a teacher should simply provide a warning and tell them if their outfit is inappropriate today not to wear it the next day. The students shouldn't have to change in the middle of the day, it can wait till the next day.

Tell me about your weekend! If you don't have anything fun to share, tell me about the city you live in. What do you love about Kansas City? Do you have a favorite place in the city? Favorite team? :) Favorite event? Explain.

Over my weekend i kinda blew some homework off till the last minute. But I also participated in a 2v2 FIFA 15 tournament with fellow JV soccer players and 2 from c team but me and my partner both lost. twice. the runner up team had a friend of mine on it but his partnher tanner botts carried them the whole way. it was kinda unfair because me and my partner hadn't played in 3 years and 6 months respectively and our opponents play it constantly.
