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?

I liked learning how to use Photoshop properly. I didn't know where to begin and it was fulfilling to be able to bevel and emboss my text. It gives the words depth and a more 3D look.

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

User Experience, also known as UX, involves a person's reactions and emotions felt about using a certain product, company or service. It includes how user-friendly a website is for a visitor. User Experience is normally used when someone is talking about using a computer for the first time and how it felt for them. Web design can be related to User Experience by seeing how people react to your website the first time they visit it.

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 displays the certain skill level or knowledge a person pertains in a subject. It can showcase about their career, accomplishments in their field and where they acquired their intelligence like a university or college. Some resume websites may include the person's social media profiles so a client can get a better feel for them before they hire them. Depending what field they specialize in, they may have some examples of what they can do or like to do when they are working on a project. For example, an interior designer may show her latest designs corresponding with the latest trends in home furniture.

What are you doing for Spring Break?

For the first five days of spring break, I'm going to be in Cozumel, Mexico! We're renting a house with two other families and I'm so excited to go. We get back on St. Patrick's Day and our family friends from Texas are going to visit us for the remainder of spring break. I haven't seen them since the beginning of the school year because they live in Austin, Texas. I'm going to be doing some homework assignments too, but I'm not focusing on that right now.

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 guarantee that anyone who is about to read this is going to think that I'm very stupid. But I look up to Nicki Minaj. Everyone sees her as this inappropriate, provocative woman who sounds like she doesn't have a single clue about what she's talking about. Nicki is a big supporter of feminism and makes sure her music represents that. Critics throw everything against her, saying that her music is too sexual for a woman. But men say the exact same things in their work toward women. She's creating this new world for women where we can say and feel however we want without men telling us that we're too pure or innocent to let those words slip past our lips. Nicki still believes in making sure that women remain educated and not to let stereotypes stop them from going to medical or law school because that's a male-dominated work area. Nicki Minaj deserves so much more credit than she receives.

This weekend my volleyball team got first place in our tournament! We were so excited to win the championship game, especially after the referees made some bad calls on our team. I know we deserved the win and it was worth being in that gym for twelve, straight hours.

If you were the Principal for a week at BVHS, what would that look like? What changes would you make? Why?

I would be playing some really bomb music during passing period that isn't from twenty years ago, get Papa John’s instead of Pizza Hut pizza to serve at our school, and install more outlets for kids to charge their phones from. I know these are all things I want to happen to the school so I'm sure other kids in the school are wanting the same things as me. I would probably need to make some adult decisions too so I would try to introduce new teaching ways to the staff.

This weekend will was probably one of the busiest ones I'll have this year. On Friday, my dad had his last day of work. He had worked at 41 Action News for eighteen years and had to miss important events in our family for his job. We're glad we'll be able to see more of him now. On Saturday morning I went to the World War One museum with my two friends, Brooke and Karen. We took some really cool pictures from the roof of the museum and walked to Crown Center once we had went through the entire place. I went to a birthday party on Saturday night and went night sledding. I accidentally fell into a ditch; luckily I didn't hurt myself. My weekend was pretty eventful and it's one I won't forget for a while.
