Tell me about your weekend. Share pics!

On Saturday, I stayed home with my brother when my parent went out of town. At home I played on my ipad and phone for...about the whole day. I would just snapchat and message my friends constantly without stopping. I remember I hopefully had my breakfast at like 4 pm. I know its crazy, but I just didn't feel like eating even though I was starving. On Sunday, I went out with my cousins to go shopping for new clothes. We came home at about 2 pm so my dad could teach me how to drive. I drove from my house to Blackbob and all the way to 888 international market. I was somewhat nervous since I was still not a pro at driving yet. When I got home I immediately went on my laptop, chatting with my friends once again. I was not able to fall asleep until 12 something am so I'm pretty tired at the moment.

What kind of background do you have with Photoshop? Have you used it before? What other types of design and editing software have you used before? Explain.

I have never used the program Photoshop before. I have very little experience working with graphic design apps. I never used other types of design or editing software before since I didn't need it at all. I am not so sure if I know how to use Photoshop or other editing apps. Using Photoshop might be a very hard thing for me to do because I am inexperienced and I don't really know what I should do with it. I know that graphic designers and other people who have works that are related to online programming and art will use it to edit photos or other creative art pieces. I have watch my cousin use Photoshop to edit her posters which made things look amazing.

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 thoughts have not change after reading this letter. In my opinion students should have the freedom to wear what they want. True, some clothes might be inappropriate looking, but it doesn't mean we can't express ourselves through the clothes we wear. Also even if the teachers would like us to wear appropriate clothes there are no need to point it out in front of lots of students. It has nothing to do with looking professional. We students do wear what will make us look mature and professional when something important happens. It's not like we always dresses ourselves like sl*ts or prostitutes. Its just simply showing some shoulders, legs and stomachs. Whats so bad about that? Its not like we are showing our butts or places that shouldn't be showed. That is why there will always be a gap between our generation. Just from reading this letter makes me feel like the teacher always think they're "right" because they are more "experienced" and "more mature" than us high school students. But no this is not true. Many high school female students would know what is right from wrong, if not then I would suggest they go back to preschool. Our parents have taught us since we're little so yeah... I think this letter is not needed and the teacher should just stop minding what we wear. Its not like out parents would let us walk out of the house with our chest or butt hanging out our shirt, shorts or skirts.

The life I want to live is being able to help the people in need. In order to do that the perfect classes that will help me success is law class and environmental class. If I were be able to name the class, the name will be Helping Hands class. I named it Helping Hands class because this class will teach you how to help someone in need. In this class people will learn about the different social status and what type of people would need our help the most. We will spend our class time observing people and learning what is the best way to help someone in need. It will be different from other classes because we wouldn't be in a classroom, but out on the streets observing.

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, I totally agree with Riley Miller. I agree with her because why does teacher and the administrator get to choose what we decide to wear. As a student in this school I think girls should be able to choose what they want to wear. Many girls would go shopping before school starts, but will be disappointed when they're told they can't wear something like this in school. Why does guys get to wear whatever they want but not girls. Girl teenagers these days like to dress to up to impress people, but the school is not allowing it which is frustrating. Like the article said why should we female students be told that what we're wearing are inappropriate when we barely even know the teacher.

If I were looking into this as a guy, I would sort of agree with this article. I mean guys are able to wear what we want too, but not the girls. As a guy I think the girls would know how to respect themselves and wear something appropriate to school. Also I don't think the male students will be distracted because of clothing issues. It's not like all guys have hormonal problems.

If I were a teacher, I would think the girls need something to cover up. Walking down the hallway the only thing you can see are legs, stomachs, and more legs. I would think the girl should respect their own body by covering themselves up. I don't mean that they have to be covered up from head to toe but at least cover the butt and body parts that we don't need to see.

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.

The thing I like about Kansas is that it is super quiet and people are sort of nice. I like it here because there are not a lot of places that are polluted with trash. I wouldn't say that I love Kansas because there are many other places I haven't been to. My favorite place in the city is either Town Center or Oak Park Mall. I like it there because I can spend times with my friends or family. My family likes to go on car rides and just drive around Kansas as we explore it. I remember one time we got lost because my dad thought he would remember the way back home. So that time it took us about 3 hours just to find our way home. It was pretty funny because my dad thought we could just explore anywhere we want. The other thing that I like about Kansas is the big beautiful houses everywhere. I also like how many kids are actually playing sports compared to other places. Also I like how people get so excited over the Royals when they win their games.

Tell me about your Homecoming weekend! If you didn't participate in the Homecoming festivities, what did you do? Share pics!

My homecoming week was....not so good. I did not participate in any of the homecoming activity. On Saturday, I went to homecoming with my friend from North and my cousin. I didn't have lots of fun because mostly nobody was dancing. If they were dancing....they weren't so good at it? Also there were many rude people who thinks they can ruin someone's night just by making fun of how people dance and etc. Also it was kind of awkward because there were many teachers walking around the dance floor. PLUS BACON WAS THERE! Then another thing is that the songs played was just a big NO. Lets just say that I didn't enjoy homecoming at all. To be honest this is my opinion about the homecoming dance, but other people might have their own opinion about it,

How was your weekend? Did you do anything exciting? Share photos!


This weekend my mom started helping me prepare for the homecoming. On Saturday, I went homecoming dress shopping with my friend Lexi and cousin Kelly. I bought many dresses, heels and jewelry. We went to Oak Park and stayed there for about five hours, shopping and looking for nice dresses. Then on Sunday, my mom took my friends and I to this salon to get our makeup done. It was fun because I got to hangout with my friends. My friends and I talked about what is happening in my previous school, BVN. That pretty much sums up my weekend.

Now that you are several weeks in to this class and have coded one (super small) website, what do you think? What are your thoughts on web design? Is it what you thought it would be? Is it better? Worse? What's your favorite part? What's your least favorite part? Explain.

After these several weeks, I am still struggling with couple of things. I noticed when we start a new coding page on notepad ++, I forget about how to start and what I should be doing. Also I am not good at css coding. I think this class is a very fun class because I get to learn new codes everyday. Plus I think it is very cool how we can get to make our own website. In my opinion this class will be hopeful for those students that are interested in doing some work involving codes. No, I didn't think that we will be making our own website. I just thought that we will just be learning the codes. It is better because I can learn quicker when I get to work on it. My favorite part was working on the Code Academy because it show me through all the steps. My least favorite part was the beginning code for the html and css.

What is the importance of deadlines? How do high school deadlines reflect or simulate "real world" experience? Give an example of when you met or or didn't meet a deadline that was important.


The importance of deadlines is that it helps people be on time. It helps things to get done on time so accidents or things wouldn't happen. The high school deadlines reflect the real world experience is that it gives a view of how things will be done in the real world. Also it shows us how many jobs are going to require a deadline. One time during middle school, I knew there were going to be a big project about the job I job-shadowed, but I was too lazy to do it so by the day I need to turn it in I didn't have anything. It was quite embarrassing because I was one of the first people who needs to present my power-point.

Reflect on this quote. Give an example of a time in your life that this might have been the case.


A time in my life that related to this quote is when I completely gave up on myself. Every time when I get extremely overwhelmed by stress and pressure I tend to shut down myself, and give up on things that are important. As this quote said if I prepare to fail then of course I will fail. So every time I feel like giving up I would go to either of my parents and cry or talk to them about my condition. They would often tell me by giving up isn't the answer, by facing your problems that is how it will lead you to success. I remember one time I was so overwhelmed by school I just completely stop trying to do my best on studying which didn't end well. It was a lesson to learn because without studying you know you will fail the test, but I didn't care. I was so stressed to the point I didn't care about good grades or making my parents feel proud of me.

What did you do this weekend? Share pictures if you have them!

During this weekend, I send my mom off to the airport because she will be going to New York for two days. I helped my mom pack and get ready. After, my dad brought our family to the airport to make sure my mom got on the airplane safely. It was hard being at home without my mom cooking for us. We missed her very much and it felt weird without seeing her at home with us. My and us exchanged phone calls everyday to check up on each other.



On Sunday, my cousins and I baked our favorite type of sweets. We made brownies and chocolate cake. The desserts were delicious. The hard part about baking is that we need to clean up. I am not a big fan of cleaning up so I just stood there watching my cousins clean. Afterwards, we went out and went shopping at Oak Park Mall. There we stayed in the food court eating and gossiping about the things that is happening around us.

Below is one of my favorite quotes that I found on Pinterest. Think read and think about what this says and then blog about it. What does this quote mean to you? Elaborate! Feel free to give an example of tell a story.


In my opinion, this quote is telling us to go out and experience life instead of sitting there doing nothing. Also don't complain about being bored when you can easily do something that you enjoy. Instead of being bored, I would find many things to entertain me. Sometimes if I don't have anything to do I would practice my piano or spam my friends with text messages or pictures. Also, there are many people who couldn't experience a free life because they might be too sick to move or paralyzed preventing them from doing the things they enjoy. So don't complain just use your brain and think.

How do you express your creativity? Explain.



I express creativity through singing. I enjoy singing to different type of musics such as pop,country,R&B, and etc. Through singing I can express my emotions and feelings. While singing it makes me feel free and that I can communicate with the people around me. I have practiced many different songs and some are in other languages. I often sing to my family members and close friends. I have been in choir for most of my life, but this year I quit because I wanted to get all my technology credits. During my free time I will usually listen to music and try to sing along with it.

What did you do this weekend? Share pictures if you have them!



This weekend, I hang out with my friends in Town Center and practice my piano. On Saturday, I went to Town Center with my friends Lexi, Abby, and Kelly. During our stay there we went shopping for new clothes and watch a movie. We had pizza for lunch and ice cream for dessert. We had a awesome time together. Hanging out with them made me miss my old school and friends even more. On Sunday, I stayed home with my mom and younger brother. I helped my mom pack for her trip to New York. Then my brother and I was drop off at my piano teacher's house. There I listen to my brother play the piano before I went. I wasn't very happy about going to the lesson since I have no interest in playing the piano. When my dad came back home from work we went to Wal-Mart to buy more snacks for my brother. We also bought more food since our fridge was half empty. I had a great time with my parents since I rarely get to hang out with them

Kids these days are so into the social media sites and parties which made it different from when I was growing up as a child. These days kids are always on their phone,texting and playing with the newest things game. They wouldn't pay attention to anything but the tiny little screen in front of them. During our time. kids would be outside playing with whatever they can find. We were always moving around, while these kids lay around in bed or the couch playing on their technology device.

Tell me about what you have learned in this class so far. Have you learned a lot? Do you want to learn more? What do you want to be able to do by the end of the semester?



So far in class, I have learn a few ways to make a webpage look better. I learned how to create my own webpage with my class schedules. I also learned how to be better at coding stuffs. For example, <strong> to bold the letters and <em> to make the letters italic. I also learned the basic like creating a list by using <ul> and <ol>. The best part about this is changing the style of the code, by adding colors,size and font.

Yes, I would like to learn more about coding because this would help me create my own personal webpage. I also want to keep learning it because coding are pretty fun to play with when I'm bored. Also maybe in the future I might be able to help someone with coding to make an website. By the end of the semester, I would like to be able to create my own website. I would also like to master in coding and be able to read all the codes.

Tell me all about your Labor Day weekend. What did you do? Include photos!





This weekend I stayed home the whole time. My cousin Sophie came over to my house to celebrate her sixteenth birthday. Our parents bought her a cookie cake,which was the best part of the party. Then the next day my brother and I stayed home,while our parents went off to work. At home, I practiced my piano and played on my phone. During the whole weekend I wasn't feeling well. I have been sick for about two weeks which frustrated me.Then when my cousin spammed my snapchat I got super angry at her, she thought it was funny, but to me I thought it was just plain annoying. I can say I pretty much did nothing fun or exciting this weekend which sucks since it was a THREE day weekend. I am not an extremely active person so I think it was better being at home,snuggled up in my bed. That is pretty much how my Labor Day weekend was.

Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

In my opinion principal John Tapene has a great saying, but my only question is why aren't teenagers allow to have fun? They are only young for a period of time so when time comes that is when they will learn how to grow up and do SOMETHING for themselves. Teenagers make mistakes and learn from it, but if they are forced to grow up without knowing whats right from wrong then it will still be the same. When teenagers cries out for help, it doesn't mean they are looking for an excuse, they are looking for somebody who can teach them and guide them through the harsh reality of life.

Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted it, I should be able to use it."




I do not agree with this statement. I don't agree with this statement because not all the images online are free to use. Some pictures might be too private and personal to be use freely. If you use a person's selfie without asking the person it will seem like you're stealing that person's identity. If you have watch the show called Dr.Phil, then you would know how many catfish victims there are in the United States.

This year is my first year in BVHS. I am currently a sophomore. This year I would like to get involved in Kay club and environmental club. My favorite class at the moment is Spanish with Mr. Dean. My favorite teacher would be my math teacher Mr.Gill. I am looking forward to making new friends this year.

What do you know about Web Design right now? What did you know about Web Design before you walked in to this class? Tell me as much as you can about how web pages work. Try to use an example if possible.


At the moment, all I know about Web Design is that we do lots of coding and that this class helps us learn how to create an web page. Before I walked into this class I didn't know anything about Web Design. I simply thought it was a class where we learn how to create an successful web page. Web page works by coding and good management. If you're coding is plain and boring not many people would like to visit this site. Also if we can't manage the web page then the information will be overall the place.
