Anononymous “BowieBulldogs” Instagram account creator speaks out about the popularity and the future of the page, “it’s a pretty B16 deal”

By reading your article, “Anonymous owner of online Bulldogs Instagram revealed,” I was concerned and flattered about some things while reading it.

As the founder of the account, I am well attached to it by giving my free time to tell our students about what’s happening. This Instagram account means a lot to me because I want to make it very successful for the school. That is why I’m going tell you why this account means a lot to students. I also wanted to mention some problems that I saw in the article you wrote about it.

First, I’d like to state the fact that this account is a big contribution for the whole entire school of James Bowie High and that it’s going to continue growing. Second, I’m trying my best to run this account and post pictures so that students have an idea of what’s going on at school and important events that could be happening.

Furthermore, you asked what would happen with this account when I graduated next year. I am still looking for someone at school to see if they want to take my spot and run it or just completely delete the account. Another thing that bothered me was that the story was on page 9 of “Student Life”. That was a thing that really bothered me because I was so pumped about it until I realized the story of this account was the bottom one of the last page. I think I deserved to be on the front page or one before page 9.

 

Another thing is that I like to mention big things to the school. I mean school events about Homecoming, football games, events outside of school, and others. I’m a very informative person that wants to let students know about what’s going on. I give time to express and think before what I say while posting a picture. If people want this account to be changed and more appealing, then I’ll give it to them if that’s what they want from me.

It’s each students decision to like or dislike this Instagram page and that’s fine by me. It doesn’t bother me that one student said “It’s okay,” because critique is good. I’m trying my best of making a fun, informative and school spirit account. I understand that each student has a different opinion about this page.

In the end, a question that you should’ve asked me is “are you famous.” Some students that I know asked me if I’m “famous.” My response? Is no, just a simple “no.” I’m not famous for a page that changed the school’s popularity; it’s the students that go to this school who make the account famous. This account speaks for the school as a whole. Either way, this has been the best two years of running this account but I’m still deciding to look for that person to fill my spot. It’s a pretty B16 deal.
