1. What did you learn in the first week of Technology/Leadership?
I learned how to use Macromedia Flash. I now know how to make a short animated movie. I also learned about trust, and what it really means.

2. What did you learn in the first week at Animo Venice?
I learned about the Poor People's Campaign and Martin Luther King Jr. I also learned many things about our environment, like global warming, and in English I learned how to make a life map, and to really think about the things that shape me.

3. How do you feel about high school so far?
This week went by pretty well, I made new friends and hung out with different people, but I did notice that high school is a lot more serious than middle school, and that I really have to pay attention all the time.

4.What do you need to do so that you can succeed in high school?

I need to learn how to manage my time, like being able to manage my school stuff and my social life. I also need to be really organized, and I definitely need to keep up with all of my assignments. I think I need to push myself to go beyond just "okay" work, and that will help me get good grades.
