Yearbook Experience Analysis

I conducted an interview with a friend of mine to help my journalism class to create ideas for this year yearbook. My interviewee name is Xitlalic Salazar. She is a 10th grader at MAST @ Homestead. The interview took place in the school cafeteria on August 28, 2015. I mainly focus on asking her questions about how the yearbook should look inside and outside and the price of it.

I have many strengths that can be asset to the yearbook club. Most importantly being my sense of creativity. I have a keen eye for color scheme, layout, and photo perspective. Secondly which I feel is important is a great sense of teamwork . In the past I have worked with classmates to successfully complete projects on time that have exceeded teacher expectations.

I would like to be a member of the yearbook staff because it includes many things that I find interesting. I enjoy working with a team to accomplish something, working on a project that will have a finished product, and I love photography, writing, drawing out plans, and anything that includes having fun. I think I could contribute a lot to the yearbook with my skills of leadership, creativity, and determination.

One of the main reasons of why I want to join the year book committee is because of Photography. I always wanted to join the photography club but our school never had one. I was never able to join the cheerleading

At Whitney Young, I participate in many clubs and extracurricular activities, including cheerleading, student council, Chicago Student Union, African American Culture Club, and I Am S.H.E. While also attending

My interest in the arts stemmed long before my entrance into high school, however that does not mean it did not have an impact on that career choice. I feel that several of the classes at Monrovia High School have either introduced or prepared me in certain mediums of art. Starting freshman year I took two art related classes: Intro to Art and Intro to Computer Graphics. If I had any doubts about my career choice, they were quashed by my experience in these classes. I was definitely appreciative that there were art related classes available every year of my high school career. Coupled with art classes through Ryman Arts, I feel that my art skills have improved considerably. Currently I am taking AP Studio Art at the high school, and although the class is rigorous in that many art pieces need to be finished quickly, it definitely has given me an accurate view of several art careers that require many art pieces quickly. All in all, I believe that my high school has

With a year full of hurdles I was set to overcome, senior year did not seem like the right time for me to defeat my dragon. My introverted qualities have grown tremendously over the course of my life due to traumatic events I have been forced to face on my own. Since adolescence, I have always been known as the “quiet girl” in the room. I always took this as a compliment, until recently, when I realized I was missing out on crucial events that would help prepare me for the future. Through careful consideration, I decided that senior year would be the ideal time to slay my dragon, introversion.

Sophomore year I was told to go to a community college for a two-year degree. By my application to Ohio University, I picked the road that everyone thought I was not capable of. Although my transcripts are not perfect, especially my GPA and ACT score the reasons are complicated. The Tuesday of my ACT week I got into a survive car accident which left me with a brain swelling concussion. I had never taken the ACT and did not want to have October be my one and only time. Therefore I took the test anyway, which led to a horrible scoring rate. Although it was not my best overall I think that for having a concussion my writing was well done. Unfortunately my car accident injuries lasted for five months, leaving me busy and injured. I again took the

I have many a few positive contributions to Buckeye Trail High School. I was on the schools levy committee, and helped mail out flyers to all of the residents of the district. Another contribution would be that I have made good grades for the two years I was at Buckeye Trail, the two years that I was at MidEast, and the year that I have been attending college. My obtaining my LPN looks great for Buckeye Trail because it shows everyone that kids from Buckeye Trail are very intelligent. Thank you so much for the opportunity to apply and please consider my

The first class I took part in was weaving and fibers, and similar to that of playing an instrument, art influenced my life. Weaving and fibers opened up a whole new world I had never experienced; my grandfather built me my own loom, and my whole family became interested in my art projects. After taking my first art class I chose to participate in many more: arts & crafts (twice), ceramics, and stained glass. Art opened up many opportunities for me both socially and intellectually. I participated in art competitions including the contest for the Erie Times News 100th year anniversary (my school placed second) and the Vans Custom Culture contest. I collaborated and built friendships with diverse groups of individuals, worked on group projects (such as stained glass windows), and a plethora of independent study projects (macrame hangings, dream catcher’s, gnome houses…). Through the arts both musical and visual I experienced unimaginable opportunities and experiences that allowed both self-expression and

So far this year, I have joined five clubs/ organizations and I find it to be extremely rewarding. I have not been able to be a part of many after school activities in past years because I was focused on keeping my grades up in Governor’s School, but now I have much more time to dedicate to other areas.

The Dr. John Grieco Campus of Bergen County Academies High School appears to be an excellent school for me to attend, and I would love to spend the next four years learning there. Ever since I began sixth grade, it was clear to me that I would want to enroll in this school. I feel that I would make a wonderful addition to this academic institution because I have been an overachieving student all my life. I have participated in school programs such as Advanced Math, WEL (Wyckoff Extended Learning), and TAP (Talented Art Program). I have also been on the Honor Roll at Eisenhower Middle School since the sixth grade. Going to this school would be a fantastic experience, and I hope that I will be accepted.

I am presently a student at Buckingham Charter Magnet High School. I have obtained many experiences and skills throughout my time in high school. Taking several different Art classes provided I was able to express myself and show my creativity. Through my History and English classes I gained knowledge of the past that I will always consider in my future.
