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've enjoyed learning how to make my own website. I thought it was surprising how easy it was to code things and learn CSS.  I like how I'm able to design the website the way I want and personalize it to my liking. The other cool thing that I think we've done is creating this blog.  Its a fun way to share what I'm thinking and its nice being able to read other peoples and learn more about them.  These skills will help me in the future by allowing me to create a website for anything I may need and when having to deal with HTML I will know what to do.

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

User Experience is the overall experience of a person using a product such as a website or computer application, especially in terms of how easy it is to use.  User experience typically focuses on understanding the user, and making it easier for the user to navigate the website.  It also takes into account the business goals and objectives of the group managing the project.  This relates to Web Design because when making a website you want it to be easy to navigate for anyone that might be using 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.

The purpose of a resume website is to provide a summary of your skills, abilities, and accomplishments.  Things people put on their website is previous job information, education, awards and achievements, and hobbies or interests. Resume websites are looked at by future employers, professors in college, and for some people its a way to share their information with other people.

What are you doing for Spring Break?

Tonight I leave for Branson with my family.  We're going with my aunt uncle and three little cousins. My grandparents have a place down there at the Greens which is right on a golf course so my dad and I spend a lot of time there.  During the summer we go down the Tablerock lake and spend 8+ hours there. This time though we are just going shopping, playing golf, go-karts, and bumper boats.  We have lots of fun and I'm very excited.

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 my cousin Alyssa.  She has been a very successful person her whole life and I admire her for that.  She went to KU and there played on the girls golf team.  Now she is graduated and is living in California where she works at an office building.  In her free time she takes mission trips around the world to all different places for months on end.  The longest one she ever went on was for a year and every month she went to a new place.  Alyssa has always been my favorite cousin and shes always been very successful and had a great life.  I don't see her as much I used to when she lived here but I still talk to her every once in a while.

Tell me about your weekend.

Friday night I had Relay for Life.  There I walked a total of 10 miles and didn't sleep at all! I got home around 7 in the morning and took a 3 hour nap before I had to work at 4.  After work I went to sonic with a few friends for some ice cream then went home and slept.  On Sunday I helped my dad with yard work and went to the driving range.  Overall it was a pretty good weekend.

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

If I were the principal at BVHS I wouldn't change anything.  I really enjoy our school and don't think there is anything to change about it.  If I was forced to have to change something I would say I would like to have more guest speakers when we have assemblies but that's not anything major that's affecting me on a daily basis. I really enjoy our school and I truly believe there's nothing that needs to be changed about it.
