After having such a fun year as seventh grade representative, Emily decided to run for eighth grade rep for next year. Elections are today, and she is NERVOUS!!!! She had to make a few posters and a video. Posters were easy, the video stressed me out. Oh, we also had only 36 hours notice about the video. Factor in piano, baseball, school and sleep'; and I had 6 hours left to devote to making a campaign video. She knew what she wanted to do, but it was up to me to figure out how to make the camera, computer, and editing program all work together. After downloading several programs to make everything compatible we got it to work!
The next day, when the videos were to be shown to the school, Emily's didn't work. Luckily, several other students videos didn't work either, so they were shown again the next day.
When I asked Em what the students who didn't know how to make a video did, she replied to me that a teacher was staying after school with a video camera to record people making a campaign speech. WHAT?!? Six hours of my time when she could have just stayed after school for a little bit? Oh well, I do have to admit her video turned out pretty cute.
As an update for Emily. She is officially a cell phone carrying teenager. Where did the years go?
Good luck today Emily!
