The Big Day

A man is racing to meet his true love at a church and races, it looks like across the country to get to the church. The bride and her dad are looking out the window for him and anxiously waiting you could say.

Who- A man driving, a bride, the groom, and the dad.
What- Wedding Day
Where- Roads in the country. Church
When- During the day
Why- he was trying to stop the wedding
How- by getting there in time

2nd time:

  Henry is late to the wedding and the bride, and dad wait anxiously for him, but he never shows. It is her special day and she is obviously very special to him and he to her. Henry drives across Switzerland to make it in time for Betty's final moment so he can profess his love. A couple of years ago, Henry and Betty were in love, but he went off to war and came back to find that she had left him for someone and they were getting married that day he came back. He finally arrives and she is too embarrassed to look at him and the groom is confused. We never know who she chooses as her true love.

iMovie Preview

1. In order to make an iMovie is to have a camera and a computer. You want to select New Project on iMovie. Name the project then save it. Widescreen is the DV mode. To view one of your clips, highlight it then press the play button. In order to stop press the play button again. In order to import an clip or still picture you will need to press import, then you place the images or videos in the order you want. Then you are ready to watch your final product.

2. I already knew how to import photos and how to put the videos in order.

3. I learned how to format the item and how to save it correctly.

4. I'm concerned that for some reason I will mess up and not do everything right.

5. I am confident because my family know a lot about iMovie and they will be a big help in getting it done early.

6. I would probably take pictures of my mom's cooking process.

Student of the Month Final

   Jesse Borunda is the 2015 Student of the Month, his first time getting the title. Jesse is a freshman and  goes to Bowie High School. He received this award for the month of April. He received this title because he excelled farther than any other student in his class.

   Jesse likes school and finds it interesting and sees that he learns new stuff every day. In order to receive this award you need to excel and stand out amongst the other classes. For example, he passed all of his classes with all A's. Your teachers also have to like you in order to receive the Student of the Month award. Thankfully for Jesse he was a perfect student in the eyes of his teachers. Jesse is very outgoing outside of school, like hanging out with friends and being social. "I like hanging out with my friends and whatever we do is fun," says Jesse. Borunda usually stays after school to do extra credit every chance he gets. He received the award last week during lunch in the office. Everybody knew about it and he was excited because he set an example to his friends which don't think much about the award. Jesse said that he was never home schooled and also has never failed a class.

   I was interested to hear that Jesse knew some of the administration and also most of his teachers. Also Jesse said that his favorite class was World Geography and his worst was Spanish. As the interview kept going I learned that Jesse like soccer and also track during school hours. Knowing that Jesse is only in 9th grade means that great expectations are yet to come for a young star like him.
