Dear Mrs. Burke: Perhaps Hilights is looking for someone who has experience with InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and iMovie. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the case, you should consider me for a position as the Editor-In-Chief. I assure you that I will be a strong leader to the staff and I am willing to share my experience and passion for writing and designing with new staffers when needed.

After being on staff for two years and being the Index Editor this year, I have learned how to adequately manage my time. In our final deadline, I also took on some of the responsibilities of the Copy Editor, so I have also gained experience in copy editing and finding key errors in writing and style. I am always determined to meet deadlines and I have often stayed after school and during lunch to work on my deadlines. I will also have a period of Mass Media next year, which will allow me to spend even more time developing the paper. These qualities will definitely benefit your staff. I am aware that Hilights is an award winning publication and I would be honored to represent such a prestigious publication. I appreciate you considering my application for Editor-In-Chief of the Hilights staff, but I believe an interview would allow me to personally show you my qualities that would benefit your staff. Respectfully yours,

Natalie Disla

ANALYTICAL ESSAY When I first read my elective selection sheet in the eighth grade and realized journalism was an option, I knew I was interested. The idea of a group of students putting in dedication and commitment for a nearly perfect final product fascinated me. I wanted to be a part of something as special as that. When I first joined journalism, I thought I had my mind set on yearbook, mainly because I did not know much about newspaper then. Towards the end of the year, I was unsure whether I would have time to participate in such a time consuming club. Fortunately, Mrs. Burke introduced me to newspaper. I was hesitant at first; however, now I am certain it is the club for me. This year, I was the Index Editor, so along with the responsibilities of being a staffer, I had to assure that the right procedures were taken in producing stories and assure that all names were legal and spelled correctly. Throughout the year, I have demonstrated production skills, dedication, goal setting, and I overcame hardships. I had to make full page infographics for my first two deadlines and the final outcome of both demonstrated my productions skills. I had to do an ample amount of research for both because one of them was about ISIL and the other was on graphology. I also had to create a map of the Syria and Iran that represented their realm of power and lives affected. My photo essay on Evita in the March issue demonstrated my dedication and my ability to overcome hardships. I had never written a story on a musical, especially before it came out, so the writing was particularly difficult for me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also a fairly average photographer and I had to take pictures in our poorly-lit auditorium so I had to overcome this obstacle quickly to get quality photos for my page. I demonstrated goal setting in the February issue because I was determined to completely finish my story before our press date and I was successful in doing so. I am an asset to this staff because I always try to help my fellow staff members when they need guidance or assistance. I also try to incorporate different kinds of graphic elements into my stories, which may attract more readers.

REFLECTION #1

I believe my most significant piece of writing this year is my editorial on the legalization of medical marijuana because it actually addresses a topic that is controversial and timely. This was my first editorial and writing it was difficult for me because I was so accustomed to writing news and feature stories. I also had to do an inordinate amount of research to ensure my writing was ethical and accurate. Another challenge was assuring my points were cohesive with those of the writer of the opposing editorial. I definitely struggled with this piece because I had to resubmit my story several times. While this frustrating, I did not let it overwhelm me. Instead, it motivated me to improve my writing and prove the points in my editorial to the best of my ability. In the end, I was quite fond with this piece because it reflected my opinions with well-rounded research.

Medical marijuana goes Plant has potential to succeed

Alternative solutions lessen risks of drug

By NATALIE DISLA Hundreds of citizens in Florida are painfully struggling with cancer, yet Florida voters and legislators overlooked them when they voted against Amendment 2, which would legalize medical marijuana. Legalizing medical marijuana can make the lives of cancer patients and severely ill citizens less painful than it already is. When deciding whether this drug should be legalized, people tend to only see the negative factors and categorize it as an addictive drug. However, the fact that all painkillers are addictive is often forgotten. According to drugfreeworld.org, Fentanyl, a painkiller, was found to be thirty times more addictive than heroin, a highly addictive drug. As a matter of fact, marijuana is less addictive than these painkillers. According to drugabuse.gov, 91 percent of marijuana users do not become addicted and not one death has been documented from marijuana as a painkiller. However, more than 36,000 people died from prescription drug abuse in 2008, according to the CDC. Gov. Rick Scott passed Charlotte’s Web, a strain of medical marijuana without tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is what gives the high of marijuana Cannabidiol, the other major component in marijuana, impacts the brain and is active in Charlotte’s Web, however, it does not ease the pain because it suppresses THC. Therefore, it is only useful for those who suffer seizures and is essentially pointless for those who seek it as a non addictive pain reliever. Another positive of legalizing medical marijuana is that it is also cheaper than other nausea treating prescriptions, such as Marinol. A yearly dosage of Marinol costs $8,258 while medical marijuana costs $6,256. Both medications have a similar effect but one costs $2,000 more than the other. Generally, those suffering from chronic illness or a deadly disease have large medical bills for their treatments. Medical marijuana can be used to treat various conditions, such as glaucoma, inflammatory bowel diseases, anxiety, arthritis pain and symptoms of lupus. It also prevents cancer from spreading and reduces the side effects of chemotherapy. Its commonly known side effect of “the munchies” also stimulates an appetite among cancer and HIV/AIDS patients. One of the main reasons medical marijuana failed to pass was its lack of FDA approval. It is still classified as a Schedule I drug, along with highly dangerous and addictive drugs such as LSD and heroin. Attempts are being made to reschedule marijuana as a Schedule II drug, which would then categorize it with slightly less dangerous drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine. A drug that could heal citizens should not be categorized along with hazardous drugs. A more reasonable category would be Schedule III because it is less hazardous than Schedule I and II drugs and is currently accepted in 22 states. Medical marijuana should be legalized because it is a non habit forming option that costs less and has health benefits which may ease the pain of suffering patients.

Medical marijuana’s health benefits out weigh its opposition.

Medical marijuana’s risks out weigh its claimed benefits.

MONIQUE MAHABIR Paranoia, anxiety, m o o d - s w i n g s , suppressed immune systemthese are just a few of the risks medical marijuana poses, according to livescience.org. Cannabis, or marijuana, is an addictive plant popularized for its ability to give its users an instant taste of euphoria. Science has the potential to find multiple strains of the plant that have less side effects than pure marijuana. Each legalization should be gradual and treated with caution. Broad acceptance of medical marijuana in Florida should not be legalized, but rather specific strains of the drug that have been thoroughly tested and proven to treat specific illnesses. In June, Gov. Rick Scott made the conscious decision to not just legalize medical marijuana for the sake of it, but rather to legalize a specific strain of marijuana, Charlotte’s Web, proven to suppress seizures. The difference between the legalization of Charlotte’s Web and the broader medical marijuana tolerance proposed in Amendment 2 is their levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which releases dopamine within the brain, giving marijuana its addictive, euphoric quality. Charlotte’s Web consists of a lower amount of THC, making it safer than cannabis in its natural state. Had Amendment 2 been approved, it could have potentially caused an increase in the accessibility of marijuana. This would lead to more recreational use and drug trafficking. Abusers would find a way to take advantage of the situation and find loopholes to obtain medical marijuana illegally. The Amendment also lacks specificity in the types of medical marijuana that it proposes to be legalized, making the bill’s purpose unclear and open to misinterpretation. This is the reason many political analysts, including News 13 political analyst Michelle Ertel, find the bill insufficient. The FDA has not approved the use of medical marijuana for a reason: the drug, though helpful for some, is still risky and has not undergone the proper trials necessary to claim the drug a safe alternative to prescription pain killers. Although the drug may have alleged health benefits, it lacks FDA approval because of those assets not being officially proven. Thus there is no concrete research to back up the plant’s health benefits. “We believe the unintended consequences of Amendment 2 are serious and numerous enough for us to believe they constitute a public health risk for Floridians,” The Florida Medical Association said. Ingesting medical marijuana in its broad form is not necessary when there are alternative remedies in addition to prescription painkillers. These non-addictive remedies include menthol (used for pain relief), rhus tox (used for sprains, strains, arthritis pain and backache) and belladonna (used for shooting pain). Legalizing the use of a drug that is 1: not properly tested by FDA, and 2: can potentially harm a person is something Floridians should not condone.

REFLECTION #2 N34. Informational graphics “What handwriting says about you” November 2014 page 15 I would like this infographic to represent me because I think it is an informative yet creative piece. It also allows students to interact with the newspaper since it is something they can relate to.

N34 Informational Graphics “ISIL: the Middle-eastern religious genocide” November 2014 page 5 I would like this infographic to represent me because it concerns a serious topic that affects people all over the world. I designed this myself and did a lot of research to make this infographic as accurate as possible.

N10 Sports feature “Dancer’s determination on point” December 2013 page 10 I would like this feature to represent me because it takes an interesting angle on a dancer and was one of my favorite stories I have written this year.

REFLECTION #3

As I look back on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portfolio, I realize I could have done a much better job. Although my design was professional and unique, my overall portfolio was incomplete and there were several conventional errors in my writing. This year, my design was much more complex and I actually created it from scratch using Adobe Illustrator instead of using an already created pattern. Last year, I did not complete two out of three of the designs that were required. On the contrary this year, I completed both of the required designs.

We put up a great fight and that is all I could ask for. Ciara McCoy, senior

Squad stomps competition Softball ﬁnishes with winning season By naTaliE diSla A strong team chemistry, dedication and heart all contribute to a successful sports team. The softball team exceeded these expectations and had one of their most successful seasons (25-4) and nine out-of-thepark homeruns. The season began well, until the team faced West Orange on Feb. 11. Although the softball team was determined to not allow them to be victorious, they lost 0-11. “They defeated us emotionally and physically. I feel we could have put up a stronger fight if we would have gone in there pretending to not know who they were,” third baseman Kelsi Smith, sophomore, said. After learning to not let pressure get to their heads, like in the West Orange game, the team went on an 18 game winning streak, defeating teams such as Apopka, St. Cloud, Timber Creek, Dr. Phillips, Winter Park and Lake Minneola. In the beginning of the St. Cloud game on Feb. 20, the girls were ahead, until the Bulldogs scored, tying the game in the last inning and taking advantage of the girls’ overconfidence. The game then went into extra innings until sophomore Rachel Lopez hit a single and brought in the winning run. “We did not play up to the caliber that we should have played,” coach Robin Bradford said. However, the team evaluated their mistakes and tried to learn from them so they would be prepared in future games. “I learned to make every at-bat count because even though you may be ahead in the beginning, you never know if they will catch up,” freshman and first baseman Lara Dusing said. Consequently, the winning streak ended as they faced East River in the Metro Conference Championship on April 7. The game was close and went into two extra innings. While their defense was on point, they failed to produce the hits and runs needed to win the game. “They are a very tough team and we were not full headed into the game. If we were, we could have beat them. We did

not get into that mind-set until the last inning,” Smith said. They also lost their last regular season game against Astronaut High School, 3-4. “We probably should have won that game. We kind of just shut down,” junior Meghan Mansfield said. To offset the two recent losses the squad crushed and run-ruled, Cypress Creek and Dr. Phillips, 16-0 and 10-0, respectively, winning their district games and advancing them to regional semi-quarter finals. “I love [winning districts]. It’s history and nobody can take that away from them. It’s something that they’re going to remember forever,” Bradford said. After winning their district games, the softball team defeated Olympia, 2-1, in their first regional game. Senior Kayleigh Shumsky, Mansfield and Smith all made essential hits and contributed to senior Ciara McCoy and junior Meghan Sexton scoring. This win advanced them to regional semifinals and gave them another opportunity to face their rivals, West Orange. In the first five innings of the game, the rivals remained

in a stalemate and neither managed to score any runs because of the protective defense from both sides. Outfielders and seniors Sara Galvis, Ashley Vega and McCoy made no errors throughout the entire game. Both Galvis and McCoy made crucial defensive catches in the last inning. Galvis with a shoe-string catch in foul territory and McCoy with a diving catch in left-center field. In the sixth inning; however, West Orange scored three runs off errors in the infield and the softball team was not able to make a comeback and lost, 0-3. “Honestly, losing our last game to West Orange is the absulute worst feeling that you could have,” McCoy said. “But I am proud of how we played. We put up a great fight and that’s all I could ask for.” Although it was a tough loss, the teammates and coaches embraced all of the positive factors of their season, such as their strong team chemistry, winning district championships and only losing four of 29 games. “We have so much talent and we’re extremely passionate. We care about everyone on the team,” Chase Cassady said.

Girls tally Tds, dominate opponents Flag football ﬁnishes regular season 10-1 By naTaliE diSla Through a tight bond and strong leadership, the flag football team overcame obstacles they faced throughout the season. “In a lot of games we were tight in the beginning. But, after we figured out what to do, we were successful,” junior captain Emily Colvin said. The team’s first game of the season was against their rivals, Edgewater, so the pressure to succeed was high. They beat the Eagles 33-0. “[Beating Edgewater] is always a good feeling because we hate them so much,” senior Emily Stearns. Although, as the season progressed, the team was undefeated and only allowed three touchdowns within eight games, they still had several close games. On April 8, the team beat Jones, 24-6, with strong defensive efforts from juniors Katlyn Nicholson and Danielle Coqueran. “Beating Jones [was a major accomplishment] because they have a lot of speed on that team and our defense worked well to keep them from scoring,” Stearns said. The Timber Creek game was the teams’ first challenge. “[The game was difficult because] they have good, fast players who know

ßmyfavorites

the game well,” Stearns said. Instead of letting the skill of the Wolves intimidate them, the teamm used their opponents dexterity as a motivator and fed off of each other’s positivity. “Whenever we made a bad play or decision, we would give each other confidence and moral support to help us get through the game,” sophomore Jamari Ridley said. With this mindset and an eye on the prize, the flag football team defeated Timber Creek, 19-7. However, on April 14, their undefeated season ended as they fell short to Cypress Creek High School, 0-6. Although they attempted to come up with new routes, the Bears’ strategic defense made it difficult for the team to score the touchdowns they needed to win the game. They did not let the pressure get the best of them, though. “We tried to keep a good attitude and keep our heads up,” Colvin said. This positive attitude the team maintained helped them make a comeback in their next game on April 16 against University, 26-6, and helped them advance to district finals and maintain their record of 10-1. “It feels pretty great knowing we played hard enough and well enough to only have lost once,” Colvin said. The team’s strong chemistry also helped them win a majority of their

games this season. Before each game, the girls form a circle to pray and then do a pep talk. The teammates also made spirit shirts that say “Everybody Eats,” a slogan the boys’ football team invented. “We pray and hold hands which strengthens our connection and bond with one another,” Ridley said. The team also consistently motivates each other on and off the field. “We have a good bond. We’re more than just a team,” Stearns said. This bond helped them defeat Winter Park, yet again, during their first district

game on April 27, which advanced them to the district championship game. On April 29, the team beat Jones High School, again, in the district championship game, 26-6. Coqueran, Nicholson and Stearns scored touchdowns in the game with the help of their quarterback, Colvin. Through their strong bond and leadership, the flag football team advanced to regional semifinals at Oak Ridge High School. Although their efforts were strong, they lost 6-12 against the Pioneers. They ended their with a total record of 12-2.
