delaney arkeilpane 1018 S. Lake Davis Drive Orlando, FL 32806 delaney.arkeilpane@gmail.com (407) 902-5540 April 24, 2012 Manager Panera Bread 296 East Michigan Street Orlando, FL 32806 To whom it may concern: If you are looking to hire a cashier with great organizational capability, dedication and strong people skills I think you should consider me for the position. I feel as though I would be a great asset to your staff because I am a very well rounded person, and I know I have what it takes to maintain this job. I have attached a resume, and I think that you will find that with an interview, my lack of real job experience will not hinder my performance. I currently hold the business manager position for my high school yearbook, and my experience in handling money qualifies me to work as a cashier. As a business manager I am constantly writing receipts and working with our financial accounts, so I can definitely be trusted, and I won’t need too much coaching in this area. I am also highly capable of multitasking, while still performing to my fullest. I always meet deadlines, and balance my work as a business manager, while staying on top of my other schoolwork. My background in yearbook has further developed my people skills. I’ve learned to interact well with others through interviews and shared deadlines. These experiences I have gained have led me to extend my request to you for the opening position as a cashier at Panera Bread. I feel that everything I have learned in the classroom will transfer well into this line of work. I am well aware of the morals Panera Bread stands upon, and I feel they match very closely to my own. I find the fact that your company gives so much back to the community through programs like DoughNation to be very refreshing. I can see myself being a part of a company like this, and I feel that my own extensive volunteer work through church organizations and National Honor Society reflects that. If given the opportunity I will fulfill all the standards the company stands upon. You will see that I have also attached a resume, but I feel that an interview would ensure you that I am a great fit for this job. I would appreciate your consideration, and I look forward to hearing back from you soon. Sincerely, Delaney Arkeilpane

personal essay


Journalism really caught my interest in high school. I enjoy the variety of aspects it engages me in. I like being part of a publication, taking pictures, writing stories and meeting deadlines. I feel as though journalism is a huge part of my life, and it’s hard for me to think about where I’d be without it. My interest in journalism sparked in middle school, as I was a part of the yearbook staff. I got my start into journalism freshman year beginning in Journalism I with Mrs. Burke. A lot of the reason I took these coursed was due to the influence of my peers, not realizing when I signed up that it would have so much weight on my life. In order to succeed in journalism I had to fail first. For instance, during my first year on staff I rarely met deadlines and struggled to thrive under the circumstances, but I returned this year with the right determination in order to meet every deadline. I don’t really feel like I’m strong in one particular area of journalism, but I consistently get my work done. I feel like I contributed to journalism because I was always on time to my editors and I made myself available to help other staffers if they needed it. As far as my future goes I can’t really say whether or not journalism will remain consistent throughout my life. Of course I plan on doing yearbook next year, but I’m not sure if its necessary a career I want to pursue. The skills I’ve learned in journalism will be applicable throughout my life, and in that matter journalism will always be a part of my life.

self-analytical essay


Throughout the course of this year I have gained a lot of actual production skills. The actual production skill that I valued learning the most was writing for a publication. In years past I really struggled with this, but this year I was able to develop my skills a lot more. This will defiantly benefit me in the future because I will be able to use these writing skills throughout the rest of my education and career path. Deadlines always seem to be a stressed, but for me they were definitely a strong point. I learned how to consistently meet deadlines and manage my time. I really feel like this is a great skill to have. I think it will be a great asset for me when I go to college because I know how to commit myself in order to succeed and meet deadlines. During deadline seven I worked on a layout with a partner. I feel like teamwork is a very important ability to have because it’s something that is always applicable to life. When it comes to working together it is vital to communicate, my

partner and I set these standards from the start, which is why we worked so well together. I definitely feel like I learned the most about sales and advertising this year. As the business manager I was in the position to manage and advertise the yearbook sales. It was a struggle this year, but had we not faced the hardships I wouldn’t have gained so much knowledge. In the future if I have to advertise something I will make sure to recognize my target audience prior to advertising. Journalism takes so much dedication. Sometimes I feel like it would be easier to just edit layouts or change quotes to my advantage, but journalism ethics are important. Without them we wouldn’t have a creditable publication. Although sometimes it would be easier to cheat yourself of doing the right thing, committing the time and the work is the way to go because in the end its worth it. I feel that I will carry on everything I’ve learned in this class. The things I’ve learned are more than just techinal, they’re life lessons.

I feel that my best work this year was the Polyester Paradise spread I completed during deadline two. My main purpose for this page was simply to make sure that we had enough decent pictures in order to cover the dance in the yearbook. I was able to follow through with this by taking over a thousand pictures at the dance. From start to finish my layout changed a lot along with a few of the pictures I had initially selected. In order to complete this spread I spent a good majority of my time shuffling through pictures, so that I could choose the best ones from the page. After my first submission for body I had to get a few more interviews, but other than that it was pretty much smooth sailing. I learned how to manage my time in order to meet deadline during this deadline. I’m really proud of this page because I took most of the pictures and it represents my initiative.

The page I had during deadline one could use more work. It was inarguably the most stressful page that I had all year. At first, I had a really hard time finding three sets of childhood friends that varied in gender and race. Once I found them and conducted the interviews I realized that they weren’t really giving me a lot to work with because their quotes were weak. My first submission of body to the final product went through a lot of edits. I had to focus my angles a lot more and find more quotable quotes. Shooting pictures for this page was a real struggle. I had to rely on them to meet up with me, and it was really complicating when all I needed was one picture and one girl kept blowing me off. In all honesty I really didn’t like the content this page covered, so if I could do it differently I would find a more interesting topic to cover. What I learned from this page was that you can’t always rely on people and sometimes you really have to commit yourself to get what you need.

Honesty

stregthens ties

Jamea Wiggins and Ashley Washington

When her best friend asked her for her honest opinion, senior Jamea Wiggins was never anything but blunt with her. Wiggins’ friendship with senior Ashley Washington was defined by their honesty towards each other, a trait which allowed them to remain friends since the fourth grade at Blankner. “Despite all my other friends telling me what I want to hear she tells me what is true,” Washington said. “Sometimes her opinions can hurt, but I can’t be angry because she tells me what I need to hear. I feel like I can tell her anything and she can

be honest with me.” At times honesty caused conflict resulting in temporary separation, but it was also what bonded them together. “I feel like I can tell her anything and she can be honest with me,” Washington said. Whatever the issue they relied on each other to be honest in their opinions about the situation, providing the feedback a true friend would give. “We’re not afraid to tell the other person the truth about each other because if we’re friends we know we’ll understand,” Wiggins said.

Separation builds bonds

Staring out into a fourth grade classroom full of strangers, Axell Hernandez was looking for a new friend. He found that friend in classmate Mishelle Zambrano. From there they began a friendship that remained strong throughout their high school years. Following a brief separation during middle school, Hernandez and Zambrano were reunited again their freshman year. “I would say that the biggest struggle [we faced] was not going to the same middle school because we were friends in elementary and then she just fell off the face of the earth,” Hernandez said. “She was a girl that was always there for me. [She was] my first friend in town.” They reconnected in high school and their friendship grew as they saw each other more frequently than they had before. “When you have a really good friend that you connect to, you just pick up where you left off and it’s not any different,” Zambrano said.

David Skarlupka and John McGrady chow down to fire up. Long time friends enjoy a meal at Firehouse Subs. “He buys me food and I buy him food, so we bond over food,” senior McGrady said. The friends had known each other since kindergarten.

Agree to

DISAGREE

Since kindergarten at Pine Castle Christian Academy, common interests have tied seniors John McGrady and David Skarlupka together. Sharing the same classes over the years they grew close. Although they were close, their mutual interests sometimes proved to be an obstacle in their friendship. “There was a time when a girl tore us apart briefly [because we both liked her]. I thought she was a better friend than David, but he was actually more loyal than her,” McGrady said. “Eventually I got tired [of the awkwardness between us] so I apologized.” As inseparable as they were, Skarlupka and McGrady still had their common disputes, but they overcame them by agreeing to disagree. “We’re so close that we argue over everything,” Skarlupka said. “It has made us grow closer; he has [become] like my brother because I’ve known him for so long and we grew up together.”

“[My favorite tradition is] the Senior Snake because it’s fun,” senior Le-Roy Mormontoy said.

I feel like this picture I took of Delanee Bogan during the JV girls soccer game is one of the best photos I’ve taken this year. I really struggled getting good action shots of the girls, but when I took this one I was instantly pleased. The main reason I am drawn to it is because of the depth of field and the action it displays. 210-004_bogan.jpg.

It took a lot of trial and error to capture this moment, but I like this picture because of the action it displays. It also has a very clear center of visual interest that draws your eye to it. I even like the fact that he has his thumbs up because I think it adds to the overall atmosphere at the event and the emotion he has while he high jumps. 17-001_jagger.jpg.

I had a lot of fun taking pictures at the Polyester Paradise dance because everyone was super energetic and I was able to get a lot of good shots. This one was definitely my favorite I took from the event because it is really interesting and it makes me laugh. I like that there is a clear center of visual interest and a good rule of thirds. polyster 10-1_ arkeilpane201110010862.jpg

I was an asset to the staff and the 2012 edition of the Legend yearbook because of my dedication and hard work. This year, the staff as a whole really struggled to meet the set goal of yearbooks we needed to sell in order to remain an award winning publication. It was devastating to hear that if we didn’t reach our objective we wouldn’t have the budget to include a spring supplement. Through my role as business manager I was able to commit myself towards reaching this target. I encouraged the staffers to set statuses and promote the book sales as much as possible. I literally did everything I could possibly think of to save the yearbook. I stuffed thousands of lockers as well as cars with yearbook flyers, but we still weren’t selling nearly enough yearbooks. It was then that I scanned through the master locator and listed off every single student that had been pictured or quoted, removing students that had already purchased a yearbook from my list. I proceeded to design an eye catching sneak peek flyer that I sent out to these students. Thankfully, sales shot up. In addition to this I also created five large posters to hang around the school. As the final extension for pre-ordering yearbooks neared my commitment finally began to pay off. I counted up all of the receipts, payment plans and online sales and we had just barely made the cut, but I feel like without my dedication the outcome would have varied. I strongly believe that my loyalty throughout this year to the yearbook and my staffers was undeniable.

The biggest hardship I faced this year was the lack of book sales the staff as a whole experienced. As business manager I felt like this reflected bad on me, so I devoted myself to overcoming this. I think I handled the situation well because we eventually did meet our goal. On my own I created and distributed locker stuffers, car flyers, posters around the school, footprints in the hallway, a BBC commercial and a sneak peek flyer for students already in the yearbook. I also encouraged the staff to get the word out through social media and by talking about it in classes. The most important thing I learned from the situation was that it is vital to target parents prior to students. We wasted so much time trying to get students to buy yearbooks, while we still weren’t seeing results. If we had immediately went to the parents the sales would’ve been a lot different, and we probably wouldn’t have faced this problem.

During the mid-term I felt like my biggest weakness was that I was trying to take on more than I could handle. At the time I was overwhelmed with the lack of book sales, and the stress I was putting myself through to increase them. Balancing this along with deadlines was clearly getting the best of me. Since my last assessment I feel like its not much of a weakness for me anymore. I’ve learned to manage my time for yearbook as well as all my other classes. Through my developing time management skills I was able to achieve this goals. Instead of spreading all my time focusing on yearbook spread my time out among my classes more evenly. By recognizing my limits I found that I can produce more quality work. I learned that if I am able to fully commit myself to one thing at a time I get the best result.

After looking over my previous portfolio and my work in yearbook I can tell there is a definite growth from last year to this year. I think that my portfolio this year was constructed a lot better. I devoted a lot of my time last year to the design, and it wasn’t even that good. My design for this year’s portfolio is a lot stronger and shows clear improvement. Even just glancing over my spreads I could tell that I was lacking the organizational skills and experience I gained this year. Seeing some of the edits from reflection one and two of last year’s portfolio I noticed that my writing has focused more, and doesn’t face nearly as much changes now. In the past I feel like I was still getting the hang of yearbook, but now I feel like my photos, writing and designing are much more solid.

DISAGREE

Since kindergarten at Pine Castle Christian Academy, common interests have tied seniors John McGrady and David Skarlupka together. Sharing the same classes over the years they grew close. Although they were close, their mutual interests sometimes proved to be an obstacle in their friendship. “There was a time when a girl tore us apart briefly [because we both liked her]. I thought she was a better friend than David, but he was actually more loyal than her,” McGrady said. “Eventually I got tired [of the awkwardness between us] so I apologized.” As inseparable as they were, Skarlupka and McGrady still had their common disputes, but they overcame them by agreeing to disagree. “We’re so close that we argue over everything,” Skarlupka said. “It has made us grow closer; he has [become] like my brother because I’ve known him for so long and we grew up together.”

“[My favorite tradition is] the Senior Snake because it’s fun,” senior Le-Roy Mormontoy said.
