2011 GOALS

For my first goal, I want to hit the ground running with my grades and classes. Last semester wasn't the greatest so yeah, I have to get in shape with all my classes especially my Pan-Am classes. I would also like to get organized in my secular life as well as my church life. Get my priorities set straight. And lastly I want to become this years State Sergeant-at-Arms for Texas TSA.

A Yearbook Change

I never really cared about the yearbook when I was a freshmen but this year is going to be different. In the years past only the popular kids would come out. Here at BETA I'm trying to include those kids that people never really talk to and are real quiet. In order to make the best yearbook ever we have to include everyone three times. And not only taking pictures of those unknown kids but including them in quotes and stories.

Better Than Just A Face

1. Great memories are recorded on a book
2. Because you could put dislike on a picture
3. the yearbook will always be a yearbook and Facebook might not exist in the future
4. It is more personable
5. You don't have to tag everyone on your photo
6. Facebook won't have awesome captions

Tips for Taking Better Photos

I think that these tips are great. I do have most of these tips down but I do need to work on some. I do  have a bit of problems with the looking at your subject in the eye one. Though doing that is not hard, it is pretty tough for me to get closer to the subject. I usually take far away pictures. And I also sometimes use a distracting background instead of a plain background. I also find it hard to be a picture director. But I will have to work on all of these tips to become a better photographer. Yearbook pictures are not supposed to be posed.

Bieber Frenzy

Would you like to able to maybe sell your yearbook for a couple of thousand dollars?? That's all I would say. I mean that would catch some people's attention. This craziness of some guy becoming famous and his yearbook selling for over $1,500 sounds pretty sweet so that should be a catch to buy any yearbook. People would definitely buy something for about $40 dollars and then sell it for a couple of G's. Come on! Buy a yearbook!

Response to Bullying from Single Laughing Dad

I've seen bullying. I've experienced bullying. And subconsciously might have done it. This powerful story really speaks. It talks about those things we all ignore. Those things that lead to what we see today. Death. I don't really know who will read this but please stop bullying. Lend a hand. Care.

Are we safe?

Personally, I've never felt safe down here in the valley. It might be because I live in a rather messed up corrupt town but overall I still feel uneasy. I've lived in the valley and our security hasn't been that great. From killings everyday to drug trafficking, we are not so safe. Though I might be arguing that our security is not that great, it still is safer than Mexico. The only sad part about it is the fact we live so close to Mexico. Safe wouldn't be a great word for the valley. More like uneasy.
