The Experiment

In my first period GT class, we did an assignment called The Experiment. The concept of this project was to give people without experience, or even with experience, a chance to explore photoshop and figure out how to work with it. They can see how things work and what we can use later in the school year. Mr. Sanderl basically said "Make something, without any of my help." And so thats what we did.

One of the things that was really fun is using the new tools and making something that looks really awesome. I improved on my contour skills and also I got more used to using photoshop on my own. I guess the only thing that was difficult is figuring out what to do when something went wrong, because like I said before, we weren't supposed to have Mr. Sanderl's help.

Here are the two things I made:

Back To School

Well I'm back to school in eighth grade. Heres a little about what I like so far, one of my favorite moments I've had is meeting all my new teachers and realizing "Wow, I have awesome teachers this year." I feel like with great teachers I'll be able to learn a lot more this year, I think I'll improve on my weaker subjects like math or english because I see these teachers teach in a way that is easier for me to understand.

I guess if you hear the great parts about school you'd like to hear about the challenges of eighth grade. Like I said earlier, one of my biggest weak points in school is math. Last year I didn't really understand and ended up getting a C in math. This year I can tell it will be difficult because of all the complicated problems we are already doing. Hopefully I'll be able to overcome my struggle with math and pass with an A.

This year I will be successful by paying attention in class, studying with my friends and having them explain what I don't understand. I'll keep trying my hardest in my most difficult classes. I will be successful because I have confidence that I can pass with understanding in all of my classes.
