Student of the Month Story

March 1st, Bowie High school has elected their new Student of the Month. This month's winner was Ellie Coulston, a freshman who dedicates her time to her studies and those around her.Ellie was crowned student of the month after her fellow peers anonymously elected her.

Coulston was elected for her great attitude and studious ways. The amount of community service she has put in allows her to be a good role model for her fellow peers.

Multiple of Coulston's close friends had nice things to say about her including, "Ellie is a great student and friend and i'm happy she is being recognized for it!" former Student of the Month Jenni Cootes said. Coulston agrees that to be Student of the Month you have to posses good characteristics. "Being Student of the Month means being a good role model, making good grades, being respectful and involved," winner Ellie Coulston said.

Coulston also enjoys spending time at Austin Pets Alive where she volunteers. "We love having someone as helpful as Ellie be apart of our team every weekend," Manager Micheal Summers said. Coulston enjoys volunteering at Austin Pets Alive, as well as the Students Tutoring Center.

Coulston describes winning Student of the Month as "a wonderful surprise!"."I was caught off guard... I wasn't focused on the award so it came as a surprise, a good surprise nonetheless" Coulston said. Coulston believes winning unknowingly is a better way to win then trying to run for the award. "I think I enjoyed winning the award more because it was unexpected. If i had known and pushed people to vote for me, i would have not appreaciated it as much" Ellie Coulston said. Coulston's parents were extremely proud of her for being selected. "We've tried our hardest to push the importance of being kind onto her, and she has definitely taken our advice and done great things with it," parents Anna and Chris Coulston said. Ellie doesn't believe she'll win again, but wants to continue doing what she believes will help the community. "All that I've ever wanted to do is create a positive difference within my community. I'll try to do my best in school, and hopefully inspire others to work hard even after the month is over," March Student of the Month Ellie Coulston said.

Architecture Preview #1

La Pedrera, Spain:

1) The architect is Antoni Gaudí .
2) It was built from 1906-1912.
3) It is located in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
4) You can visit this building. 
5) There isn't information on how much it cost to build. 
6) This building was designed as a  home for the Milà family, and was the last civil work designed by Antoni Gaudí.
7) I chose this building because of its very unique architecture. The many curves of the building make it very interesting to look at. It's definitely a normal-looking building and that's what makes it special. I also chose it because I think that it would be a cool place to visit. 


















Habitat 67, Canada:

1) The architect is Moshe Safdie
2) It was built in 1967.
3) It's located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
4) You can visit this building. 5) It cost $22 million to build this building. 6) This building was built to create a cheaper living area for many people. 

7) I chose this building because it looked very unusual and different. It almost looks like a young child's LEGO invention, but in a much larger scale; and that's why it's incredible to look at. Also I chose this building because it doesn't look like it should work, but it does work, and that's very cool. 
















Burj Al Arab, Dubai:

1) The architects are Tom Wright and Carlos Ott. 
2) It was built from 1994-1999.
3) It's located in Dubai, UAE.
4) You can visit this building. 
5) It cost $1 billion to build. 
6) This building was built to be a luxury hotel.
7) I chose this building because I have been to Dubai, so I wanted to research a building that was built somewhere that I've been. Also this building is unique because they had to build a mini island off the coast of Dubai for this building to sit on. The building is also very pleasing to look at because while it looks unique and different, it also looks polished. 














Guggenheim Museum, Spain

1) The architect is Frank Gehry,.
2) It was built in 1977.
3) It's located in Bilbao, Spain.
4) You can visit this building. 
5) It cost $100 million to build.
6) This building was built to be an innovative looking museum.
7) I chose this building because it looks very interesting, and is in a pretty location. It also kind of looks like half of a metal flower, and that makes it very unique. I also chose this building because I like how the light reflects off of the building. 


















National Centre for the Performing Arts, China:

1) The architect is Paul Andreu.
2) It was built from 2001-2007.
3) It's located in China.
4) You can visit this building.
5) It cost $500 million to build.
6) This building was built to be a performing arts center. 
7) I chose this building because when I looked it up, it said that it's known as The Egg, and that got my attention. It does sort of look like an egg, but it's also very pretty. The location is special, and the way it reflects like makes it look amazing.
