Rudolph Campaign and Other Stuff

This year at Christmas time I worked with my class to support a needy family by buying them food and gifts.  This was a single mother with a young girl and baby on the way.  I made a lot of the phone calls inquiring about places in which we could volunteer to raise money and this was a good way to do something I’ve never really done before as I’m usually a little hesitant to make phone calls.  However I was eager to take initiative for this and to make the phone calls anyway.  We ended up doing a bake sale.  I wasn’t able to attend because I was working, but I did bake chocolate chip muffins (which was also a challenge for me since I am not at all comfortable or knowledgeable about baking).  The muffins turned out great though and they all sold!  There was a fair amount of food that didn’t sell and this was brought to school the next day and I worked with two other students at lunch to sell the rest of the food, which we were able to do.  This was a great service project to be a part of, especially because I was able to work with a group of people, which was a change because group work is not something I do all that often.

I have been working on editing some of my photography as well, and playing around with different techniques and features, and I am learning a lot!  I have been also planning some more for my filming and brainstorming different shots that I can take, which I will hopefully be able to start shooting this weekend!
