Journal #32

1. Describe a memorable experience.

My memorable learning experience was when I learned how to make the almost "perfect" video. It was hard for me because even though I had done media in middle school, I had to come into high school and make it better than I have ever done. Not only that, but I had to learn a new editing program called, Final Cut Pro. I had to edit and film to the best quality and make everything into excellent work. There had to be good sound, lighting, and still shots; meaning the camera is not shakey. I always had to make sure the editing was clean, and that there were no jump cuts.

2. What is your vision for the ideal school?

My vision for the ideal school is a school where there is good education and the school would be very safe. The ideal school would have many different clubs and programs for students based on different careers. This school would always serve healthy foods for good diets. It would teach the students everything about the real world; to help them survive on their own. Sports would also be part of the programs because a professional sports player is also a career. These things would be an addition to what we already have currently.

3. What do you think you need to learn and how?

I think that I need to learn more about managing money and about taxes because when I graduate, that would be part of my life. I also need to learn about the different kinds of jobs and life skills; also, communication skills. I would learn these things by asking questions and practicing these activities.

  1. Hi Jisel,
    Your ideas are good ones but they need to be way more specific...that is kind of a skill we've been working on for a while now, isn't it? Notice that you talk about the "perfect video" that was a memorable learning experience and, nowhere in the paragraph can the reader tell what that video was.
    You finally get specific in the last paragraph, when you talk about taxes. If being able to be on your own and be independent is a passion for you, you might want to actually learn about taxes or about living on your own as your project :)
