1. it isnt shown till later in the video, but it appealed to the people passing and they started giving more.
2. the video made me sad because in the beginning basically no one was helping out, and it made me sadder to see what the woman wrote on the other side of the sign because she used words to appeal to peoples emotions. it made me feel a little better when more and more people helped out.

biography

I'm Melissa Weprin. I'm a sophomore and this is my first year on the Lone Star Dispatch staff. I write for the paper, and I'm excited to write some really interesting stories and share my view point when I write for commentary. I enjoy making art in my free time.

first day newspaper scavenger hunt

1.) With the start of the school year, changes have been made through out the campus. From little things like signs near the office with directions to the different halls and rooms to digital clocks in the hallways instead of the old, traditional ones. There was also a sitting area built near the student parking lot for officers checking for off campus ID. Tables were added inside the academic hall in the Bowie colors.

2.) Many returning students had different opinions on the school year than the perspective the freshman had. "It was confusing" sophomore Jet Hyde stated. Other sophomore Hajer Deyaf had the same thoughts, but she described it as "being somewhere that felt familiar but completely new at the same time".

3.) This year the bell schedule is the biggest change. Due to a student sharing program that AISD started, the bell schedules for the high schools that are participating in this. However, Bowie doesn't have anyone coming in because of limited space, we are still using this alternate schedule that shortens passing periods and start and finish 10 minutes later.

4.) GSA had their first meeting on the first day of school, football is practicing and have already played games. Color guard and band have started practicing too, so has silver stars and cheer. Theatre has already picked fall shows and their musical
