For the past week or two we have been focusing on developing our logo. So far I have made my concept design, but I still need to improve on this by our due date, in 2 weeks. It was easy for me to get my image into Photoshop so I didn’t have to draw it, but getting the text in was quite difficult as I couldn’t get the specific font I needed in Photoshop so I had to take a screenshot of the writing on docs and use that instead, but this was more difficult to adjust as needed. My Stakeholder suggested I change a section of my image that could be difficult to print, and also suggested to put the logo in a box so it has an frame, which brings the focus in and makes it more effective.

Problems of being smart....

I’m really busy! This year I am president of FCCLA, editor of the yearbook, take 6 dance classes, teach 3, volunteer at my local hospital, and am treasurer of NHS. I love being busy, and I don’t really get overwhelmed easily. It does get stressful sometimes. This year I am taking Government, Economics, English 101/102, Calculus, Chem II, Spanish IV, Microbiology/Genetics, and, of course, PE. :D My biggest piece of advice is to not give yourself the option to give up. I have never had a B, but I have FOUGHT for every A. No matter how rough it got. For example, my alarm is set for 40 minutes earlier tomorrow so I can meet with my teacher to understand some problems I don’t get. Next year I am attending the University of Illinois at Chicago’s Honors College, and have been pre-accepted to their medical school, so I will begin those classes too. I plan to be a pediatric oncologist. That goal and the reasons behind it push me every day. Let me know if you need/want to know anything else anon! GOOD LUCK! You’ll do great (:
