For my Who do you think you are? I started by talking to my mother Christina and Uncle Michael and asking them questions to know more about the family for this project. After talking to them I had more information to use for this project. After that I emailed my Aunt Alicia to see what else she could help fill in on our family. After several emails I was able to start our family tree in FamilyEcho. I was only able to go back a few generations before I found a old Family tree on paper to help with the rest. It took awhile for trying to lay it out and getting it right, but it was worth finding papers on our first relatives that came here from Prussia and Germany. I was able to make a Prezi about some of the information. Also I made a infographic about other things I found along the way.

I am probably going to stay at home and just eat with my family. We don't really do a lot for thanksgiving. I will probably end up hanging out with William a lot, or with my sister. Since everyone else is most likely going out of town .

I Would have made sure that our hand weren't in the frame as much and made sure all the photos were more clear. I would probably pick a different background like a solid black. I would also probably make sure the smarties moved in more of a straight line and I had the way they move better planned out. Along with probably taking more pictures and speeding it up some. Then spend more time trying to figure out how to make the credits not just black and white.

They put major accomplishments on resume websites, while keeping it professional. You should put different contact information and things you are good at in specific job fields. They say you shouldn't put pictures of you relaxing or inappropriate things. It should be about how you can do things and your quality of work you can do.

Define 'User Experience'. What does it mean and how does it relate to web design?
User Experience is how a person feels and how easy the product is along with how friendly. Its like when a person goes into the Apple store and plays with the laptops or phones the see what they like best. That would be a User Experience because they are using the products to see what they are like.

The process was very slow, I found out afterward that I have hands on the sides. Moving everything so slightly is hard when it needs to go in a straight line. I don't seem to have that much patience to do it again but if I had to I would make sure that there was nothing on the sides and that the smarties moved in more of a straight line.

I've learned how to code HTML and CSS, and turn it into a website. I've learned that there are strategies to layout your website to make it more appealing to the mind. I've learned that for specific things you need different color schemes that relate to the subject.

Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest?
I know there are many different kinds or styles of photography out there and hundreds of cameras. I know how to enhance and edit pictures like contrast and things to male a photo look better. I normally take black and white pictures because I feel like they most of the time they look better. I usually edit them with contrast and shadows and highlights or blurring other things in the picture.

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 really used Photoshop. All I mainly know is that in Photoshop you can crop pictures and edit them. I normally use Pixlr+ when I use to edit pictures with contrast and things like that, or add my tags on main parts of the picture to claim it was mine and others couldn't steal it pretending to be me.

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 perspective is still the same, for reason being there might be a "time and a place" for certain things but that doesn't really mean much. There is a time and place for wearing jeans, like fall and winter or spring, but if I want to I can still wear them in summer. I could even wear shorts in the middle of 2ft of snow if I wanted and you're saying if its not the time and place for it then I cant wear it? We are High School students and we shouldn't be forced into to being so "professional" right now we still have awhile to go. We should not be force to do anything, if you have a problem with it than that sounds like a you problem and I don't want to hear it if it inter fears with my opinion, unless I ask for your opinion like you are asking for mine currently. If it is a choice I have made even if it is a little "riskay" its a choice I made, doesn't mean I'm asking for anything (unless verbally stated other wise) it means I feel comfortable in it, and gives me confidence in some way. If I am wearing something that you don't approve of IT IS STILL A CHOICE I MADE. If I do not ask you if I should change then don't tell me if I should. I am comfortable when people look at me and think "wow that's a cute outfit" I am not asking for you to over sexualize what I chose to wear because if you are over sexualizing what I am wearing you are creating me as a victim, and you are the perpetrator, victims should never be made to look like the bad person.

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.
I agree, things with young women's clothes is getting out of hand. Even though the so called "style" today can get sometimes ify. Us girls get targeted more than the boys do for obvious reasons, but that still doesn't mean we complain when all these guys wear those really tight Under armor shirts. They don't get told to go change, even if most of the time they are see through. If the young men in the school cant control them selves over a sliver of tummy, shoulders, or some legs then how are they going to control them selves in the so called "real world". If women who prefer the same sex over males are capable of controlling there selves in a locker room with other women changing then the men should be able to control them selves when we actually have clothes on and stop sexualizing what we are wearing as a "distraction" forcing us to take time out of our education so they can learn when all they have to do is ignore what I am wearing.

A infographic is like a chart/picture/informational piece or picture. They are used to give you a understanding of something. They are full of data and information to inform one on something.
Basically a picture that tells you something.

Instead of going to Homecoming, spent the day with William. We watched Where the Wild Things Are and Chernobyl Diaries. My sister also had her boyfriend over and was playing games on the Xbox. Also my Mom put a star on Williams arm with Henna.

There is plenty of things you could change about this school, but if you go and change something even if it does make things better it might not be doing much. School is the way it is for a reason and you cant really fix things for the fact that were a bunch of teenagers and teenagers just tend to create problems.
