Proactive or Procrastination?

To be honest, I am sometimes both proactive and a procrastinator. I say this because sometimes I get lazy and restless and procrastinate, but other times I am very anxious to get my work done and complete it with greatness. Usually, if i enjoy the project I will be very proactive, and try hard to get my work done, and turned in on time. However, if I do not like the project, it is more likely that I will procrastinate. Overall, I think I am more proactive rather than a procrastinator.

I think that my level of productivity relates to my amount of free time, because when I get my work done when I am focused, it does not take long where as when I am getting side-tracked and taking a very long time on my work that I could be getting done quickly. When I finish work with authority and I focus, I am provided with more free time to do fun things. When I procrastinate, I can take up to an hour on assignments that should only take me a half an hour, and that gives me a lot less time to enjoy the rest of my day.I would change my work habits by getting my work done quicker but still focus and get it done right. I will do my best on all subjects and assignments and will not procrastinate.

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!

Lessons Learned

In my opinion, the most interesting part of the project are the live interviews to see how other people feel, and what they know about the subject. I find this very cool because, with the different people, you get different information, different opinions, and different perspectives on the subject.


The biggest roadblock in our project for me so far was probably just figuring what was going on since I came into the class late in the year. This was hard because I was put in a group and was told to do what they were doing so I had no idea what I was supposed to do to help my group with my project. Now I know what to do to help and it is going very well.


I think that the most valuable part of the filmmaking process is that when you are filming something you want to be focused on what you're filming, and that the camera is not shaking or moving around. Also, it is good to block out other sounds like wind if you are filming someone speak so that it is easier to hear the person. Last, if the person talking has a microphone pack, you really don't want the people watching the video to see the mic because it will remind them that it is a cast and they wont feel as connected to the subject in the video.
