Prom

I'm looking forward to the weekend/prom night for a couple reasons. You will usually never hear me say this, but I'm looking forward to the picture part of prom. I actually want to take some pictures with people because I'm not going to see a lot of them when August rolls around. Almost all of my friends are going away for college, so this is a good time to get some decent pictures. I'm not that excited for the actual prom part, but I'll enjoy dinner and the after party. With all of that and Monday off, I think it will be a good weekend.

April 8 Blog

Audio and video projects are very different because in audio projects you can only focus on what you are saying. With video projects you have to worry about lighting, editing, and many other factors. Although radio commentaries are more simple, you have to really focus on what you are saying because there is less room for error. I prefer audio projects because you don't have to worry about everything like you do in a video project. You can spread your message through your voice and get a little more detailed.

Free Blog

You may be thinking that this blog will be about my favorite teacher or someone who inspires me the most, but I will be talking about a serious issue that could end the structure of society and human life as we know it. You guessed it, I am talking about the rapid growth of reptilian humanoids in America an quite possibly the whole world. 
This is a very serious issue that many do not know about, so I am here to educate you about their sinister ways. The idea of reptilians on Earth was originally made by David Icke, a  mastermind conspiracy theorist who claims that  shape-shifting reptilian aliens control Earth by taking on human form and gaining political power to manipulate our societies. Icke has claimed on multiple occasions that many of the world leaders are reptilians. Although many world leaders are actually reptilians, humans can also be possessed by reptilians to do their dirty work in politics. 
Let me start off by listing some verified reptilians: Barack Obama, Bill and Hilary Clinton, George W. Bush, and many more. Why do reptilians want to be involved in politics you may ask? The answer is simple. World domination. All the reptilians want to do is to enslave the human race. It's all so clear, why would they not want to take over the Government? We have the strongest military in the world. If they take over, who can stop them? It can be tricky to figure out who could potentially be a reptilian. They best place to look is in political positions or at your local high school. In my school alone I have already confirmed at least 10 of them. One of the reptilians is my math teacher. You may ask, how do I know she is a reptilian? Simple. You ask them if they are a reptilian and if they cannot give you a straight answer, they are one of them. 
Reptilians have been studying the ways have humans for hundreds of years and have been abducting people to know our weaknesses. One of the earliest reports was in Ashland, Nebraska, where a police officer named Herbert Schirmer claims to have been taken aboard a UFO in 1967 by humanoid beings with a slightly reptilian appearance, who wore a "winged serpent" emblem on the left side of their chests. Through many therapy sessions, Schirmer remembers going on their ship and seeing small reptilian hybrids who were only about four feet tall. 
We need to work fast and figure out ways to stop the spread of these evil reptilians. If we do not act now, we will soon be enslaved by them. We should choose our political candidates wisely because many people who run for office have ties with the reptilians. They may be tricky shape-shifters, but we really need to fight back.

Finished Project

My passion project is all wrapped up. I collected equipment for two weeks at the high school and collected two whole bins of equipment. I drove with my dad to meet up with Vince to give him all the equipment and he gave me a shoutout on Twitter. Glad I did this project. It was the least I could do to help kids who cannot afford equipment.

7 Billion

The World of 7 Billion Project showed me that our planet can only hold a certain amount of people until the resources are depleted. We should make greater efforts to conserve water and have a plan to stop mass deforestation. It's very easy to just say, "we need to stop", without an actual plan. 
The video I created focused on water conservation. I showed different stuff in the house that uses water and then laid down some stats that shows how much we waste annually. If I had more than a couple days to make this video I could have included music and stock footage. Without those two thing, I couldn't really do much. And it is hard to make everything when I only used an iPad. I would prefer to work in a group because you can use each others ideas and I could have used some help because I had no idea how to do most of this stuff.

Passion Project Update


This last week I have made some progress on my baseball equipment drive. Blake and I went and met up with Vince Chelena to pick up the large bins and banners for the drive. While we were picking up the materials from the warehouse, Blake got a little footage of the process that can be used for our service via video project. I also finalized the dates for the equipment drive and contacted administration in the high school and middle school. I have recieved confirmation for announcements to be made at the high school, but no response yet from the middle school. It has only been one day so I think I can wait a little for the response. 
I am going to set up the collection bins outside the main office at the highschool and middle school. I am doing this just incase somebody tries to steal any stuff out of there (I doubt anyone will, but just to be safe). I also had one of my classmates make a really good flyer to promote the drive. I'll need to scatter those around the school and ask teachers if they can advertise them a little in class. I'll also need to ask some of my old teachers from middle school to advertise the drive to their students. I don't think flyers make an impact unless someone actually advertises them in class.

Video Project

In class we'll be working on a video project to promote different foundations. Fortunately I get to do a video for the foundation I'm working with for my end of year project. I am working alongside Blake Washburn and surprisingly Jacob Costa. Both of these dudes know way more about video production/editing than me, so that will help me out a little bit. 
Vince Chalena came to speak to our class Wednesday about the history of Turn Two for Youth and gave us an idea for what he wanted in the video. He would like to see us make a video on how to become an "ambassador" for the foundation and how to donate baseball equipment. His presentation went well and I'm glad to be working with him. He is apart of the "baseball family" and I know exactly how that life works. 

-Below I included a grizzly bear because of how strong and majestic they look. It relates to Turn Two for Youth because of how strong they're message is and the majectic feeling you get when you can give the gift of baseball to someone.
