The BEST week ever

This week rocked! I had a lot of fun for a few reasons

1. For Yearbook, I was photographed as a model for our first assignment to do with the elements. Pictures were shot on an IPhone. My group and I originally considered going to ask Ms. Lineberger for a camera, but chose not to at the last minute!

2. I led a buddy ambassador training with Julia Banahan on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Both nights I saw our program manager, McKenzie Rosser. I really mentioned and emphasized how to be an inspiration and how Ms. Lineberger is one.

3. I took my first school advisory board survey. It was fun filling it out.

4. I ate lunch with my Best Buddy, Elaine Helton. She is the greatest buddy ever.

5. I got a compliment on my altered page from Ms. Lineberger. She said I was doing awesome.

6. We had a Best Buddies officer meeting. I got my last $50 dollar donation for Leadership Conference.

7. Starting to read Romeo and Juliet during English! I love the dirty language!

8. There was Lookout Club

LC 2011

Tim Lhotka, Lead Program Manager for Best Buddies and Whitney Brodersen, gave me the scoop on LC!

They went into saying its a fun filled conference, which are constantly going and doing something. Nights run late. We party for Best Buddies! They aren't sure if there will be a pool party. Anyhow, Arizona will bring it!

Anthony Kennedy Shriver will be there and I hope to meet him.

Basically, there isn't much downtime in the dorm. So if you need to shower, shower quick. The other thing I learned from Whitney is to bring my own water bottle and keep refilling it.

Of course, photographs will be taken and posted to Facebook! Best Buddies Arizona will post an album to their Facebook!

Staff members who are attending are

McKenzie Rosser, Tim Lhotka and Maggie Speer.

Ambassadors

Lindsey Eaton, Louie Glass and Whitney Brodersen

Let me know if you want me to make a video on IMovie!

Memorable quotes and words (and firebird word news)

Photo quotes and words

Sebattiering (exists without ing)

"Man you are like making me famous." - Ms. Lineberger

Such a true quote since I am still making her famous by mentioning her outside of Photo 1 to Best Buddies!

Five things to BE

1. Be Independent

Whether its at Chaparral or in life, you have the chance to be independent. You can be independent by making your own plans, if you can drive.

If you are a Chaparral student and you ordered a yearbook, go get it with pure independence like I am going to do.

2. Be Inspired

Do you want to be inspired? If you do, then who inspires to you? To me, its our Photography teacher, Ms. Lineberger and Best Buddies staff members, Maggie Speer and Tim Lhotka. My last inspirational person is Best Buddies founder and Chairman, Anthony Kennedy Shriver. Anthony and his family have been through a lot as they lost their mom, Eunice and Sargent Shriver. Anthony inspires me to put the Best in Buddies and make it Best Buddies EVERYDAY!

4. Be yourself

Don't let others hold you back, be who YOU want to be! You are who you are. No one else can be you.

5. Be involved

Join clubs like Best Buddies, Art Club or National Honor Society. If Best Buddies sticks with you, volunteer with Best Buddies Arizona. Or if Muscular Dystrophy is your desired cause, be a counselor at MDA's summer camp.

Teacher of The Week: Dana Lineberger

It's official! Chaparral has a new teacher of the week! Ms. Lineberger won Teacher of the Week today during 4th hour which yearbook for Melissa and I and Photo II for her.. She was so surprised when KNIX walked in. Our broadcast will air next Friday (the 15th) on KNIX in the morning. They are going to send the link for the broadcast to the school. I am going to re-air the broadcast during Photo 1 so her Photo 1 students can hear it. Yesterday, there were a majority of Photo 1 students who asked me to air it.

The two of us posed for pictures. Melissa Chavez took a few with my film camera. KNIX took digital pictures. When the whole thing go started, she was helping students. Then, KNIX said "Ms. Lineberger, can we borrow you?"

I gave her a hug before it started and said "It's okay" so she wouldn't cry.

3 good memories that came with today's surprise were

1. Carolyn and the rest of the crew from KNIX wished her luck on her Master's degree

2. Principal, Gayle Holland was up stairs during the broadcast. I am not scared of her since I've been on the announcements with her.

3. When it came time for her say something, she said, "Thank you for letting me do this job. I love teaching photography everyday." - she totally loves her classes and job.

Everyone at VMI is excited for the muscle team. I am super excited as well.

Ryan is excited for prom and so am I. I saw Travis and Emily this week.

On the side note, track is cancelled tomorrow due to rain. ):

6 more weeks until summer break

This week was awesome! We had Lookout Club. Katie McGovern came to Lookout Club!

Life Skills teacher, Mrs. Michele Meyer said this, "There are only 6 more weeks left. Work hard and get good grades."

There are only 6 more weeks left in all my classes and clubs!!! (:

Today marked my final track practice before our Unified Sports teams Chaparral Track Meet. I get to have two cheerleaders come cheer for me, Morgan Meyer and Caley Chapman. Caley and I met through Photo 1. Morgan is my peer assistant for Computers. I guess they talked about me while they were in California with the Chaparral cheer team. I'd say they enjoy me and my personality.

During Yearbook, I received a bracelet that says "Photo" on it and I am going to show it to our Photography teacher, Ms. Lineberger on Monday during 7th hour. She really wants to see it.

April Fools Day was super cool! I pranked a few teachers by saying I broke my arm by doing homework. Ms. McGovern actually told all the teachers at lunch that I got her by saying that.

I pranked our photography teacher by saying do you want a chip? She opened the can of potato and snakes came out. She said this, "Oh no. I don't know how I feel for it." A few of her students came up to me afterwards and said "that was great joke, Lindsey."

For Leadership Conference, I am all registered and have raised $300.00 already.
