Yearbook

beautification program. I also completed a fellowship during the fall election season of 2016 with the North Carolina Coordinated Campaign and I managed the yearbook staff of my high school as a photo editor. These experiences have allowed me to make meaningful and lasting…

The last 3 weeks have been a whirlwind of chaos with everyone running around like chickens with their heads cut off! Between preparing for and starting state testing, dealing with a less than helpful yearbook company, and a “heated” field day, I have decided that we really need more hours in a day. MAP Testing All of the testing scheduling I discussed in my second reflection has gone amuck this week. The testing company’s (Nextera) server went down on Wednesday morning which meant we had a…

How to Survive Jr. High Have you ever wondered how you are going to survive junior high? It may seem more different and intense than elementary school is. Though you have a right to be scared, the transition between the grades goes smoothly and easily. You get a lot more responsibility, and many more opportunities. You have a lot more classes and teachers, and get to make influential decisions. There are three main points to Jr. High: academics, personal responsibility, and social activities.…

a former high school senior who lived in Wesson, Mississippi, where she was required to wear feminine clothing for the yearbook picture, when she usually wore clothing traditionally associated with the male gender. The photographer noticed Ceara's discomfort, and allowed her to wear the tuxedo. Months later Ceara received her yearbook and noticed she was nowhere in the yearbook. Because she chose to wear the male clothing, the school administration refused to print her photo and name. Smith…

I dashed to the art room of my high school, sweat still dripped from my back. Although I had just finish a volleyball match, I still needed to make final revisions to the yearbook. Later, I would find a quiet place to complete my homework and mark down upcoming volunteer sessions in my agenda before leaving school. I thoroughly enjoy every activity I am involved in. From leading school clubs to playing volleyball, I have learned invaluable lessons on leadership and teamwork, which has nurtured…

After years of witnessing my dad lock my mom in the basement, leave bruises on her body, and make holes in the wall, my siblings, mom, and I packed up our bags and left. While I didn’t grasp the whole situation, I was ecstatic that I would no longer be subjected to the violence. I would no longer live in fear of being my father’s next victim. Growing up in that environment cultivated my timid personality. I didn’t want to play soccer, refused to talk, and rarely went to recess. Eventually, I was…

My passion for photography Have you ever wanted to live in a moment forever? I have, and that is why i am passionate about photography. Photography is the act of taking and processing pictures. My passion for photography came from a trip I had taken to Yellowstone National Park, where I saw so many beautiful sights and I wanted to save them all. My mom took me to a store nearby and bought me a camera and I took a bunch of pictures and had them developed. The reason I wanted to keep these…

Their 2017 Super Bowl commercial ad brought celebrity yearbook images to reality. The use of Tina Fey, Robert Redford, Amy Adams, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Steve Carell, Darryl Chalk, Missy Elliot, Stan Lett, Jimmy Kimmel, and Viola Davis is to capture the audience of the younger generation, but to anyone trying…

mom couldn't make it so i was stuck with my aunt. I was always used to either having 1 teacher or four, but know i had 8 classes in many different places. I had a good schedule. I had writing, reading, gym, AVID, lunch, history, science math, and yearbook. Middle school was a big transition for me and it’s very nerve-wracking. I asked a teacher where i would go for my classes, she explained how everything works. I headed to my first classes, it turned out i had the same teacher for first and…

WE don’t want bad looking pictures in our yearbook. I am the FFA reporter and don’t know how to take good pictures as if we had a photography class that would help me out. Adding photography class will help students when they get out of high school also. Finally, adding a photography class to our…
