During Spring Break I got to go do a photoshoot with my friends at Lake Brandt. I would say I was practicing the IB learner trait of an inquirer. I really am interested in learning all the different kinds of visual arts. I learned that pictures are cooler when they are not posed and you get the person in action. Also, I learned about taking pictures from different angles to get different points of view. So here are some of my pictures I took of my friends as I learned how the camera works and how editing can make a difference.

During march I have officially started school soccer. It takes up a lot of time and has made doing homework more challenging because by the time I get home from soccer I am so tired I just want to go to sleep.  This has brought a lot of effort out of me to get all my work done in time. So far I have succeeded. My team has set a realistic goal to win the state playoffs.  We call it ring-chasing. We have only lost one game so far in overtime. After losing that one game we realized that there is more to soccer than just skill and speed. It calls for desire and pure passion. After losing my team has given the seniors the opportunity to really step up and lead us out of the downfall we were in. I have been watching them closely and have already been planning for next year on how I can be the best senior leader. As a junior that has been on the team for 3 years, I have gained some respect and I have tried to be a good role-model to the many younger players by staying positive and reminding them that it is just a game. I think my team has showed a lot of character and I think we will come out of this one loss with many more wins.
