My Opinions Story
Is participation worth a trophy? I believe, that for young children, it is. The fact that they are trying is showing effort, and a young child should be rewarded for doing so. Receiving a trophy can be a very motivational thing for a child, and there’s no reason to take that away from them.
When a child receives a trophy, they feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. A trophy recognizes the work that they put into that activity, and it encourages them to continue to do so. A trophy should be seen as a motivational factor, not something negative.
By singling one kid out for a trophy, that causes tension among the other children. They will become jealous of the child who received the trophy and that can lead to violence and lack of motivation.
Trophies are especially important for young kids who aren’t as talented at the certain activity. They may not be the best, but they will have learned about teamwork and sportsmanship.
Giving trophies to kids also improves their self-esteem. When a child receives a trophy, they feel that they are important and special. Self-esteem is something very valuable to have throughout life, and by simply giving a child a trophy, you can provide them with that confidence.
When a child doesn’t receive a trophy and others do, that undoubtedly makes said child feel very poor about themselves. In extreme cases, feeling left out and like they’re not worth anything can lead to depression.
One may say that by giving children trophies that you’re providing them with the fantasy that life is easy and that things are handed to you because you participated. I agree that the world isn’t like that, but that’s not something you should be telling young children. You should be encouraging them to do well; rewarding them when they try hard or accomplish something.
When I was younger, I felt much more accomplished and proud of myself if I received a trophy. I would’ve much rather had everyone receive a trophy than have felt left out for not receiving one.
I think that, for young children, getting a trophy is something special that should be shared with everyone, not just one person. I was much more willing to try harder tasks if I was rewarded for doing well on an easier one.
I think that it’s easier to do something difficult if you have praising from others. When I did gymnastics, my coach started me out with easy skills and progressively worked up to the harder ones. When I would complete the easy tasks, she would congratulate me for doing so. Having that praise motivated me to do the harder tasks. The same thing works for trophies- they work as motivational items.
Giving a child a trophy doesn’t change the result of the activity, so I don’t see what the harm is. Whether or not a child wins shouldn’t be the determining factor for a trophy. Maybe for adults, but certainly not for children. A child should be recognized for the hard work that they put in, regardless of the result.
Trophies don’t prevent children from trying, in fact, they do quite the opposite. Children like to have trophies to have something to remind them of their experience or to have something of their own that they can feel proud of, not to give them an excuse to slack off.
To conclude, giving kids trophies is not a bad thing, and it doesn’t reduce their want to keep displaying effort.

Student of the Month Story
Who - Rachel Thompson
What - Student of the Month
Where - Bowie HS
When - April 2, 2017
Why - She was chosen as student of the month for her good grades, extracurricular leadership, and attitude toward others
How - Teachers voted for her to become student of the month
Lead: Rachel Thompson was chosen to be Bowie's Student of the Month for the month of April. Thompson was awarded this accomplishment on April 2, 2017 by the teachers of Bowie High School. Thompson was chosen as student of the month due to her good grades, extracurricular leadership, and attitude toward others.
Nut Graf:
Each month, one student from Bowie is chosen to represent the school's goal of success. That student is named Student of the Month, and is awarded at the beginning of the month. Teachers come together to discuss who should be the recipient each month, and it is very hard to be nominated.
Body:
Being chosen as student of the month, especially as a freshman, is very rare. "I feel very honored to have been chosen as student of the month, and I'm very proud to have been chosen out of all of the students in our school," freshman Rachel Thompson said.
In order to be chosen as student of the month, the student has to display qualities that show evidence of a hardworking leader. "We chose Rachel to be the Student of the Month because she is always working to better herself and encourage others to do the same. She is a smart girl who is talented in both academics and athletics. Rachel posses the qualities that make a great student, and that's why she was chosen," assistant principal Maia Adams said.
Along with keeping up with her academics, Thompson is involved in many extracurricular activities. "I participate in Student Council, Key Club, wrestling, and lacrosse. I spend three to four hours for sports everyday, and an hour for Student Council and Key Club on the days that I participate in those activities," Thompson said.
Thompson puts a lot of effort into maintaining her grades, in order to achieve her goal of success. "My motivation for success is the goal to succeed in life. That's my motivation because I want to have a nice, fulfilling life. I hope to achieve my goal by continuing to do well in school and in extracurricular activities," Thompson said.
The next Student of the Month will be chosen at the end of March, and awarded at the beginning of April.

1. Describe one photo that you agree with the judges on. Explain why you and the judges do or do not like it.
One photo that I agree with the judges on is in the third video. It is a photo of a light shining through the posts of a football field goal and there is no one in the picture. We don't like this photo because it's boring and it doesn't show a sports portfolio, it's just a picture of an empty field.
Video 1:
a. Name of photographer - Travis Haughton
b. General focus of portfolio (photoj, sports, stories, etc.)- Photoj on people with disabilities and sports
c. List three problems that the judges noted with the portfolio - One photo had the head as the main subject in the middle of the camera, you should know what the picture is showing without having to read the caption, some photos looked too set up.
d. List two things the judges like- the emotion in the faces of the people in the photos, a photo with many levels.
e. What is your overall impression of the photographer? What did you like or not like?
I like the photos that this photographer took because I like how each picture tells a story.
Video 2:
a. Name of photographer - Nick Adams
b. General focus of portfolio (photoj, sports, stories, etc.)- photos of sports and kids
c. List three problems that the judges noted with the portfolio - Some photos didn't tell them anything- they weren't very interesting, too many photos of kids, making the photo too tight.
d. List two things the judges like- using all four corners of a photo, using silhouettes.
e. What is your overall impression of the photographer? What did you like or not like?
I like this photographer because I like how they chose interesting things to take pictures of.
Video 3:
a. Name of photographer - Josh Bimbaum
b. General focus of portfolio (photoj, sports, stories, etc.)- photos of humor
c. List three problems that the judges noted with the portfolio - the focus wasn't great in some photos, some angles weren't great, the background wasn't great in some photos.
d. List two things the judges like- when the photographer got up close to the action, nice lighting.
e. What is your overall impression of the photographer? What did you like or not like?
I liked some of the photos, but some of the photos weren't very interesting.
Part 2
a. What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it?
They liked the color, the composition, how the photographer got up close to take the photos, when everyone in the photo is doing something
b. What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses?
For strengths- I liked unique angles, and how the photographer knew just what to take photos of. I don't see any weaknesses.
Part 3
Watch the contest recap video at the very bottom.

2. Describe one photo that you do NOT agree with the judges on. Explain why you think the judges are wrong.
One photo that I don't agree with the judges on is in the third video, the second place winner. The photo is in black and white and it's not very interesting to look at. The judges really like this photo but I don't think that it was very special, and I think that many of the other pictures were more creative and more interesting to look at.
