Student of the month

Who - Chantal , a sophomore 
What - won student of the month Where - schoolWhen - aprilWhy - because teachers and students love herHow - by getting straight c

Chantal Jacqout a sophomore won student of the month  during the April 2015.

Her grades were all straight c’s and she told us that the reason she thinks She won is because her teachers and classmates love her and voted for her.

The school named her student of the month, she was really surprised "I’m really excited because my pairs voted for me,” She told us.

Even thought her grades are not the best, this was not her first time winning this award ‘my teachers love my grades, that’s why this is not my first time,’
The fact that her average is a c made many of her friends and her family not believe her when she told them ‘my family did not believe me at all, they thought I paid for it,’.

When we asked her about her hard work Chantal answered us with ‘I did not work at all, it is all about my talent,’.

Her favorite subject is history “All we do is watch videos and power points’. Her favorite teacher is also the history teacher ‘he doesn’t mind if we use our phones during class’.

We also talked about her future ‘I picture myself living in a huge house with a lot of money’.

She was really positive about her future and her dance career ‘I want to be a dancer’ She told us. ‘She loves dancing so much’ her mom told us ‘I think she is going to be a brilliant dancer’

detail.
the door in la pedrera is on of the many things that makes this building special. This picture of the beautiful door really represents the details of the whole building.
lighting
the artificial light of this picture and the angle makes this picture my favorite. I think it captures the feeling you would get if you were there better than other pictures.



pattern
this picture of the inside of the building represents pattern. also you can see where the houses are and you get to know the building better.
angles and shapes
in this picture of the building we can see a very different shape. Also the angle is very dramatic and it makes it a really cool picture.
surroundings 
this picture makes it more clear to recognize where this building is, before it could've been everywhere and now we have a pretty clear view of the city and everything.
