After a humbling year filled with defeat and disappoinment in the video-editing presentation category, I knew that giving up was not the answer. My team stuck it out with me and this year we decided to try AGAIN knowing that we would be happy with whatever outcome was given and we came out successful, it made us appreciate our achievement and hard work all the more!
For BPA we competed in the video production team for the 2nd year running and the theme was "local hero", we interviewed Bill Vandever (WWII veteran in Sophie's ward) and he told us his phenomenal story from the Battle of Iwo Jima. On the regional level we competed against 9 other teams and came out 1st place! It was such a boost after loss and it was great for our team to feel victory for once! We will compete on the state level in March.
For National History Day we entered on the regional level for the 2nd time as a team and the theme was "Innovations in history". We chose to do the Polio Vaccine and it's effect on the human race for a new hope. We also excitedly ended up taking 1st place and recieved a cash prize. We will present at state in April.

I have gained so much knowlege about both subjects along with teamwork skill and, it was really awesome. But all-in-all, I would definately have to say that we had much more fun creating our work than actually presenting it...you can judge for yourself:)
We speak no evil, See no evil, hear no evil
We love each other's company
Even though we ganged up on little emily...
We're pretty cool...
We have Edelweisse sing-a-longs!
It's rare for us to be serious...la la la la la la
Sophie is a scandal (nothing new:)
...not to mention a snaggle
We grew together
It has been a fun ride
We love to hang out, around, and upside down
Laughing is a nessessity in each other's presence
self-explanitory moments of humor
uh oh...
FAIL
:)
