Photo Story: MCW

Multicultural week started out with slow sales because many juniors and sophmores took advantage of long lunch and went out to eat.
However, those who could ont drive stayed to buy food. Freshmen and juniors walked around the horseshoe deciding what to buy for lunch. 
Many clubs worked hard to publicize the food they were selling in hopes of selling out by the end of lunch. This was their opportunity to make money for their club. 
What makes Multicultural Week so special is different club selling food from different cultures. For example, Leo club sold Chinese noodles. 

Because there were so many different types of food from different cultures, it was difficult to decide what to eat. Food prices were expensive as well, so it as difficult to buy food in a certain price range.


As multicultural week came to an end, MSJ celebrated different cultures by hosting an assembly that showcased different dances from different cultures.

Story with a Photo- Mission Impossible


At a school were academics are of the utmost important, stress lurks from student to student affecting all those who want to achieve great things. At Mission, students value their education and would do anything to bump up their grade and get an A. The number of hours students spend sitting and studying is unbelieveable. Furthermore, the number of hours students sleep lessens throughout the year. Mission is known for its hard working students and outstanding academic achievements. However, behind the glorious picture is the amount of stress and pain students go through to achieve good grades. Increasing competition between other students to get into good colleges also increases the stress that students must face at school. Understanding the situation from firsthand experience, I believe that Mission should focus less on grades and find more effective ways of teaching. Alot of teachers on campus barely teach and give hard tests, this I find absurd. To improve, Mission should teach students things that they will remember and bring into the future.

MSJMCW Story

Multicultural week started out very hectic. As an officer for American Red Cross, it was my duty to set up and make sure the food arrived on time. On the first day of mulitcultural week, our food almost came late. The parent who was picking up the food went to the restaurant at 11AM, but was not able to pick up the food until 11:30. By the time the food got to school, the bell had rung. The next problem we had was when one of the officers forgot to bring bowls to put our food in. I was forced to drive home during lunch and bring plates and bowls. Our overall sales were slow because the food we sold, Hawaiian barbeque, was considered expensive to most. However, by the end of the day we managed to sell all of our food. 

Each year multicultural week presents people with many different food choices from different ethnic backgrounds. What most people don't know is that each day represents a different culture and students participate by wearing different colors.The most downplaying aspect of this year's multicultural week was the ticket system. Because all must pay with tickets, people must wait in line during lunch to purchase tickets. Hopefully next year, L2 will improve multicultural week.

Shutter Speed and Everything After

1. This photo shows fast shutter speed because although the truck is on the ground and not moving, the other two trucks are still moving. In order to capture there movements without any blurriness, a fast shutter speed is needed.

2. This photo shows rule of odds because there are three trucks in this photograph.


3.  This photo shows form because the trucks are three dimensional. The form of the truck shows length. width, and depth of the trucks.

4. This photo shows movement because the viewer's eye follows the path of the trucks and down the road.
