Closing the book

SENIORS:

Well, it's the last week of your high school career.  Congratulations!!  I'll avoid all the cheesy quotes and just tell you that I am so proud of each and every one of you!  I've been extremely impressed by the Class of 2016 and you've left a positive impression on me (although, there is still time to change that...but please don't).  I can't wait to see what your future holds and to hear stories of success.

For your final blog, please write a farewell to MCR-1 and leave behind a list of advice for the underclassmen.  




UNDERCLASSMEN:

This is also your final blog for the year.  Did you accomplish all your goals for this school year? Why or why not?  What do you wish you could have done differently?  What are your final thoughts for this school year?


I hope everyone has an awesome summer!  Work hard.  Play hard.  See you in August :)  

Your turn

I'm going to change things up this week.  I want you to create a post topic.  It can be about anything that we haven't already wrote about this year.  In addition to creating a topic, you must fully reply to one of your peers' posts.  In order to do this, you'll have to wait a day to respond (or at least til later in the school day).  This post will be worth 20pts, instead of the usual 10.  Be creative in your topics and in your responses.  One sentence will not cut it.  

Have fun!

Job Interview

How would you respond to two of the most infamous job interview questions:

1)  What are your strengths?

2)  What are your weaknesses?

Please answer these just as you would in an interview (no listing or bullets...think dialog and be sure to thoroughly explain why).  I also want you to answer honestly.  Think about your skills as a potential employee.  These questions are tough, but it's time to start evaluating your skill set and building up your weak points.  

Spring Break Destination

Many college students (and some HS) are hitting the beach for Spring Break this week.  What would be your #1 pick for a Spring Break getaway?  Who would travel with you?  Describe what your week in paradise would look like.

Responsibility

 Were you ever given a responsibility that you couldn't handle? What did you do to get the task done?  Or, how did you get out of doing it?

The BEST!

If you could be really good at one thing (a sport, a craft, a hobby, etc) what would it be and why?  

**Many of you are getting short with your responses.  Please remember 4-6 sentences and proper sentence structure for full points.  Happy Leap Day!!

Your album

If someone made an album about your life who would sing it?  List 5 songs that would be included and make them relevant to you and your life.  

Miranda Lambert would sing the songs about my life.  A few of the tracks include:

1)  Momma, Momma, MOM!!!

2)  Is it the weekend yet?

3)  Coffee gets me through the day

4)  It's not gray hair, it's glitter

5)  Blessed
