Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

Some students make it so hard on themselves if they get a B in their class because they think that they have failed themselves and their parents.  Not all of the time it's the student that puts pressure on them, but a lot of the time it will be their parents.  Some parents will have discipline if their kid doesn't get straight A's.  Then the student is so worked up with school that they don't want to be disciplined by their parents they aren't paying attention in class and always thinking about it.  Grades are not going to define you in the future, it will be your personality, kindness to others, and your passion about something that you are determined to finish.  Quitting will just make the situation worse because you knew you had a chance to do something and you were to scared to do anything at all that you just gave up.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement. Elaborate on why you agree of disagree.

If images are on the internet they should be "free game".

I think they should because if its out there any can see it and somehow get to the image.  I don't know why people copy right things because students might need to use the pictures for projects or something else.  Some people might want to draw a picture and sometimes you can't even look at it.

What's the coolest thing you've learned in Web Design so far? Why is it so cool and how can it help you in the future?

The coolest thing I've learned in web design is making the websites because its cool to see something I made by just typing in codes and making them appear on a website.  There is a lot of different things that I still haven't learned that I can  imply to new websites in the future.  Right now I still get mixed up and forget some of the codes and to think there is more codes just blows my mind.

Define 'User Experience'. What does it mean and how does it relate to web design? Explain yourself.

It means the overall experience the person has with a product such as a website or a computer application.  It relates to Web Design because we use a lot of applications on it like Google Drive, Gmail, Notepad to create websites, and the designs of a website that people might like and something that is easy to use.  The navigation bar and a button like 'Back to Top' make it easier for people to go through the website.  You want them to enjoy the website or applications so they will keep going back the the site.

What is a resume website? What do people put on resume websites. Spend about 5-10 minutes looking up resume websites and what they are used for. Explain what you find. Include an image of a resume website if possible.

A resume website is about the person who is looking for a job and so companies can kind of see what the person is like.  Linkedin is a resume website also.  The websites show where you have worked, where you graduated and in what subject you studied.  You are the person that gets to put the information about yourself and not have someone or something else do it for you.  It can show what they have done in life or what they'd like to do with a company.

Here is a website of a resume website:

What are you doing for Spring Break?

I am going to the Dominican Republic over spring break.  It is me, my brother, my parents and the Gunnerson's that are traveling to the Dominican.  We leave tomorrow and get back next Wednesday just in time for my baseball practice the next day.  When I am home I will most likely play basketball with  friends and just hang around my house.   It should be a pretty fun Spring Break!

Who do you look up to in your life? Why do you look up to them? Tell me about them and some of their characteristics that you admire.

I look up to Steph Curry because he had a lot of doubters in his life yet he still overcame it.  Now he is one of the best players in the NBA right now and he could win MVP this year.  He always got told he was to small to play and wouldn't make it anywhere.  Just like him I have been discriminated about my size for basketball and even for baseball which would bring me down but I still tried to keep my head high.
