Photography

Don't lie. I know you have a really great digital camera just sitting around the house. You got it a couple of years ago for Christmas and now it is just sitting on top of your shelf. Well it is time to bust that camera out because school has started and so has photography class. Photography is an awesome hobby that can be described as 21st century art. The vibrancy, the colors: Wow! After all your initial photography basics you will learn to love photography and even more so as your collection of photos grow.

If I had to rate this hobby out of 10, I would give it a 9 because of the advantages listed above but also because of the frustration you might experience when your first few photos aren't good.

Below are some awesome photographers and there pictures.

Cross country

Cross country is a very stamina requiring sport. It requires you to run 5 to 6 miles without getting tired or taking breaks.It helps build up stamina, strength and basically make you look buff! You get to go on road trips to places where you can run and do all sorts of cool things like this. Stamina is very useful for other sports such as football, and basketball where lots of training and conditioning is required.

If I had to rate this EC out of 10 I would give it a 7 because of the advantages listed above but also because of the stamina and time it requires.

Extra-curriculars

Robotics


Robotics is a really cool extra-curricular. It is pretty useful for people who want to go into the field of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Colleges really love to see this on academic reports. It is a really great competition because you get to travel and you get to apply what you learned in the classrooms in the field. This is the absolute best way to learn something and reinforce it to remember it later.



If I had to rate this EC out of 10, I would probably give it a an 8 because of the advantages listed above but also because it includes long meetings, complex processes and intense competitions.
