I have done a lot better with focusing on the content being focused upon and taking good quality and content pictures. But I am still procrastinating some and not always utilizing my class time wisely. I am also not putting in the effort that I wanted to when I wrote my initial reflection. Photography is still not the most important class to me right now, so that is most likely why I am not putting in the effort that I hoped I would be.

     I strongly disagree with quote "Tax dollars should not be wasted on art, music or theater classes in high school. Public high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce. Period." This quote believes that any form of art should not be taught or promoted in any public high school.
