Finished News Story

My story was about the hurricane season in Hawaii. We had interviewed people that were effected by hurricane Iniki, and hurricane Ewa that occurred in 1982 and 1992. We had the interviewers talk about the effects, aftermath, and how bad hurricanes really are. In our group, it was Seth Kostelecky, Russel Fu, Leleaka Anakalea, Lilio Masi, and me, Noa Harrison. The interviewers were Leleaka's dad Blake, Russels mom Tracy, Lilio's mom Sheleah, and 3 little girls named Mahealani Bryan, Ili Anakalea, and Leilani Weber.

In my opinion, the final video turned out great. I think that we worked to the best of our ability to make it the best Hiki No that we could. I was very happy with the final outcome. I think that it was very good, but not perfect. I feel that it is actually good that is was not perfect, because nobodies stories were perfect and that is a good thing. Its good because we know that we need to spend more time on our projects to improve them in  every way we can. I definitely agreed with the critique comments because they were all good points on how we could have made it better. 

Back to School

My favorite moment about coming back to school is seeing all of my friends again. I also like meeting my new teachers for new classes. For me, since I came late in the first quarter, it was very interesting but also exciting meeting new people and going to school with friends I have not gone to school with before. Once I chose my classes, met my teachers and new friends, I felt like I made a very good decision to come to KMS. The biggest challenge was going into the classes and getting straight to work and having to figure out what to do on my own. Also finding my classes and which period was next was quite a challenge

To be successful, I will work to the best of my abilities to get good grades. I will work on not getting sidetracked, and I'll focus so I can exceed in my classes. Another thing I will do is not get sucked into doing bad things that will get me in trouble. Therefore, I will hang out with kids that won't distract me from keeping my grades up. I will listen, behave, and be the best student to the teachers as I can to overachieve in every subject!

The Experiment

I think that we did this experiment to learn how to work on programs on our own or get out of our comfort zone. Also, I think since it is a very fun project, it was good to start out with it in the beginning of the year to get us students used to one of the computer programs since we are in a tech class. I am glad that I learned to use the photoshop app, because now I can use it on my own to make other designs. Lastly, it is a very fun way of learning because you can make your project very colorful and put cool designs in it.
