stolen shoes

My favorite high school memory is messing around with my friends. The most vivid memory was when we were still in the portables and everything was damp and wet because it was winter time. There was a little bit of snow on the ground and we decided that we wanted to have a little bit of fun at lunch. One of the quarks of Sam is that she hates having her shoes off, but it makes the rest of us laugh when she freaks out that her shoes are gone. Matt Kepner was still going to school with us then and he decided that we were going to hold Sam down and steal her shoes. As she was screaming Matt ran outside in the snow with her shoes and hid them. She tried running outside but her socks were getting wet and she had to find a way to get her shoes back. I bet it was annoying to get her shoes stolen from her but it gave us something to do. I think she has gotten over it but we don't steal her shoes anymore. we are nicer now.

Senior Project

My senior project was designing both yearbooks, the elementary and high school. I also was the head editor of the yearbooks. I chose to do the yearbooks as my senior project because my focus was visual arts with a major in photography. It was a lot harder then it sounds. Not only did I have to design each page but I also had to make sure that my staff was getting the pictures we needed to have, all the events were covered by at least one member of the yearbook staff and all the captions made sense. The hardest part was trying to keep my staff on task and making sure we hit all our deadlines a week early so that we could try and get the yearbooks here as early as possible. Not only did I work on the yearbook, but i also had to do all the anouncements and keep a running track of how many yearbooks we had sold. It was a craxy stressful job and If you don't have a lot of extra time or patience, i wouldn't suggest you try to take it on. I do think that the effort paid off and the yearbook will look great this year.
