Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.
I think that this teacher's blog post is very accurate and inspiring. He is trying to say that the main event of school is more than just getting good grades, it's about the friends and teachers you interact with, it's about the lessons you learn, and it's about the memories you make. Also, he is saying that teachers really do care about their students, whether or not they act like it. They see you everyday of the week, they've seen you on your worst school days and your best school days. They know what it's like to be a kid and they are there to help you. School may not be easy, but the whole experience is definitely worth it.

3 day weekend... how was it? Give me a good story or something funny that happened this weekend. Go.
This weekend went by really fast. On Friday night, I ate breakfast for dinner and watched The Breakfast Club because I had never seen it before. On Saturday, I did yoga and then I helped my sisters get ready for prom. On Sunday, I went to church and celebrated my aunt's birthday at Jalapenos. On Monday, I watched 24, which is an old crime series, for a long time, then I played a soccer game. After that, I went to piano.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement. Elaborate on why you agree of disagree.
If images are on the internet they should be "free game".

I agree with this because I feel like people should realize that once you put something on the internet, you can't get it back. I  that some images posted on social media can negatively affect your job and life, but you that person shouldn't have gotten themselves into a bad situation. I think it's a live-and-learn type of thing.

Reflect on your resume website. What would you do differently? What do you wish you would have known? How do you think yours compares to the other classmates?
I really enjoyed creating and designing my resume website. I liked how we could customize it however we wanted to, like the font, color, and background. Looking back, I wish I would have known the colors and font I wanted because I changed them a lot of times before I was satisfied and it took quite a bit of time. I would make the titles more creative if i were to change anything. After looking at my classmates' resume websites I feel like mine was very organized and creative.

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?
The coolest thing that I have learned in web design is coding. I had no idea what coding was at the start of this class, but now I realize how much it takes to create a website and have more appreciation for web designers. Coding allows you to create your own website that represents who you are and what you're passionate about. Coding has already allowed people to create thousands of websites, some of which we use daily.

Define 'User Experience'. What does it mean and how does it relate to web design? Explain yourself.
User experience is the experience that the person has while operating or using a certain program/website on their computer. Poor computer programs or websites give their users bad experiences because they don't how to use or operate it and therefore cannot accomplish what they need to get done. User experience relates to web design because if a website is very scattered and unorganized, the users will have a bad experience because they won't know what to do or where to go. Also, if you make the color too loud or choose a font that is really hard to read, users will most likely have a bad experience. The picture below shows the many things that web designers must keep in mind in order to have a successful design.

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 is created by a person either looking for employment or wanting to share their skills, knowledge, achievements, previous work, etc. They are designed so that anyone interested in hiring you can learn more about you and if you are qualified to do what they need. Resume websites can be created for almost any profession and they are very easy to personalize. The picture below is an example of a resume website and the link below it is another resume website that I think has a good layout
