     I never did the first semester reflection, because I was out of town. But I should've done this and made it up. If I did do it, it would probably say, I need to be more prepared for when I take pictures for the projects and i should take my time while doing so.

     Dear Past Self,      To succeed in the future classes of Photography 1, you must very patient in everything you do. Sometimes you might not get what you want and you can't just give up. You have to keep going and pushing through. You might get lazy and do a project that isn't good enough, but just remember to take your time with these projects. When taking photos make sure the lighting is good, and take the photos from different perspectives. Look for symmetry,and use the grid lines to make a photo more straight.

Some students even need these type of classes to reduce all the stress in their lives, and to not think about the negative. If students want to be actors or an actress they will need the theater classes to help them with becoming better.      Art classes will help students develop skills and have a creative mindset. There are students that would want to become an artist or a musicians. There are some students who can't afford the tools they need to use in art, and the taxes are there to help with that so they can get people the tools they need.
