May 6, 2016 Anna Wintour Editor in Chief U.S. Vogue 1 World Trade Ctr, Fl 25 New York, NY, 10007 Dear Ms. Wintour: As a girl I had always dreamed of working for Vogue and this is my chance. I understand all the difficulties of making such a popular magazine, and I would like to apply for an internship over this upcoming summer because I believe I can channel new ideas into your magazine. As a staffer and 2015-2016 Academics Editor of my high school yearbook, I have learned valuable skills in the field of journalism including the use of Adobe Photoshop, Bridge and InDesign. Over the course of the year, I performed interviews with fellow students, wrote body copy and shot numerous photos of various events. Working with other people throughout deadlines enabled me to learn how to work in a tight time frame and how to collaborate with others on a group project. My involvement in these areas will directly help me with the standards of your magazine. I know you probably have myriad people applying for internships, but I’m your best choice because I am diligent, hardworking and a perfectionist to the max. I realize that your magazine is designed to fit the perfect group of people, just as the yearbook I worked hard on all year was made with the student body in mind ergo qualifying me for this position. I appreciate your consideration of my application for an internship, but I still hold the position that meeting me in person would allow us to connect better rather than through words on paper. Attached to this document is my resumé outlining my qualifications. Thank you again for your consideration, and I hope to hear back from you soon. Respectfully yours,

Megan Pirino Enclosed: resumé

analytical essay Throughout my childhood I was always very interested in the field of journalism because my mother just happens to have a degree in it and works for Scholastic Book Fairs, so I was constantly surrounded by it. I never wanted to be one of those kids who followed in their parent’s footsteps I wanted to make my own trail. Similar to Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken, “I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” But as people say, “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” and I couldn’t stay away from the enthralling vines of journalism. I enrolled in Journalism 1 my freshman year in high school mostly because I didn’t find any interest in the remainder of the elective choices and figured it would be an easy A. If only I had known how wrong I was. Throughout my educational career I had never approached anything that challenged me to such an extent. Through the whole of this school year I mastered my time management skills by juggling activities like yearbook, school and club soccer and school sponsored clubs. Compared to my first year on staff, I believe that I have grown immensely in the field of photography. I have become more accustomed to the camera’s settings and began to master them while shooting both swimming and the spring musical. The increased number of photos I have published in the book this year is a testament to the advancement of my photography skills. Because I was the Academics editor this year, I learned what it means to be a leader. A leader is a person who can direct others and guide them through assigned tasks. I began to learn how to manage staffers and aid them on their deadlines; next year I hope to refine and master this skill. A leader must also learn to cooperate and communicate with others to reach subordinate goals. I learned this year how to work with the other editors to tweak spreads and stories. Since last year my design abilities have blossomed. I have learned how to take design risks and stand by them even through criticism. The disparity between my 2015 and 2016 portfolio is an excellent example of this. I created the design of my 2015 portfolio with the idea that I wanted it to be easy to make, keeping me in my zone of comfort. In my 2016 portfolio design though I shied away from the easy task and embarked on a design that was graphically complex yet simple and professional looking. These skills in the future will aid me in getting a job and chasing my potential journalism degree. I was an asset to this staff and the 2016 Legend because I was dependable and powered through my work from start to finish, enabling me to also help the staffers assigned to the Academics section. Yearbook was the reason I job shadowed careers in the field of journalism and am now considering a career in it. Without the influence of yearbook I would never have tapped into my hidden graphic design and leadership abilities. Although Yearbook led me through unforeseen adversities, I would make the decision to join again, any day because in the end they only made me stronger.

reflection one Boone’s Declassified High School Survival Guide is my best work from Boone’s the year because I made every aspect of the spread from start to finish. I Declassified took all the pictures, wrote all the captions and got all the information for the numerous secondary coverages featured on the spread. I think this is High School my best work also because it’s a unique spread and I had to create it off the top of my head. It’s not like anything we’ve ever designed, you could not Survival have just designed around the photos because this spread is entirely made Guide up of various secondary coverages. This spread forced me to take a leap in the design field and go for something really unique, yet not too far fetched.

The purpose of designing this spread was to achieve a look similar to Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide. This spread was easy and difficult at the same time. It was easy because it was made up of only mods and I didn’t have to write body copy. At the same time it was difficult because without the elements of a typical yearbook spread I didn’t know how to design it because all I had designed up until that point were typical yearbook spreads. I also considered it difficult to make because I had to take the photos for the wood grain that is supposed to look like a desk and the composition notebook the information is on. This was hard because the resolution of both had to be super high because of the sheer size of them on the spread. Making these photos look good would make or break the spread. I tried several methods to get these photos. At first I tried to just take photos of both on the center table in the yearbook room, but that didn’t work because when I leaned over to take the photo there were shadows. On my second attempt I put the notebook under the computer desks to try and avoid the shadows, but that was too dark and still had some shadows. My third try was the charm and I turned off the lights in the room and put the notebook on the center table to take the photos. From the very first edits to the final PDF the spread changed drastically and for the better. To begin with the spread simply had a white background with the tilted composition notebook on it. This looked awkward and for a while and I couldn’t figure out why, but it was because it didn’t look realistic. To make it look more realistic I placed a wood grain background behind the composition notebook so it would look like it was on a desk. The final version of the spread also featured a much larger COB of a student than the original because initially there was no dominant element. As I placed the map of Boone that I drew, I also added pieces of tape to give it the appearance of a high schooler’s journal, all messy and randomly placed. From making this spread I learned that even though a spread might not have body copy doesn’t mean it’s going to be easier, for the most part it won’t be. As far as the finished product I particularly like the wood grain background because it creates a dimensional look and the hand-drawn diagram of the 300 building because it gives it a handmade feel.

reflection two Y6. Personality Profile I would like this personality profile on principal Dusty Johns to represent me because I think I wrote an awesome story. I had the opportunity to interview him for 45 minutes and really got to know him and his story allowing me to go home and write a fantastic profile on his life and his achievements.

Y18. Academic Photo I want this photo to represent me because it was one of my best photos I have taken this year and I’m proud to call it mine. This photo shows how I have grown in my knowledge of camera settings. CAPTION: WHIP IT. In his HOPE class, freshman Therion Joseph jumps rope on the track. “[I enjoy HOPE class because] I get my exercise out of the way since I like to be active every day,” Joseph said.

Y32. Academic Spread I want this spread to represent me because it was an overall challenge to create and I think it came out really well. This isn’t a conventional yearbook spread and I think that’s why I consider it one of my favorites I’ve ever made.

30-31,

This spread was not assigned to me, but was in my section so I ended up putting a lot of work into it. Before this spread shipped I had to rewrite the story. Because the interview was the main issue the story was weak I also had to reinterview. The interview was the main challenge because the interviewee spoke Vietnamese and very little English so I had to have a translator over the phone interpret what he said.

This spread was not mine originally, but I had to take it over before it shipped to rewrite the story. It was difficult to rewrite because the interviews were weak but copy editor Morgan Smith and I didn’t have time to reinterview because the spread was shipping the very next day. Overall I think the new rewritten story is a major improvement from the first one and actually ended up being one of my strongest pieces of writing.

I put this story in my writing section because I consider it one of my best in my journalistic career. Whenever I hear there is a story that will be written on the principal I volunteer for it because principals give good quotes and good quotes build good stories. This story was strong mainly because Mr. Johns gave me good quotes and had an overall inspirational life story.

This spread was not originally mine, but because it was in my section it fell to me to redesign it. The design was decent before, but it was still a bit confusing to determine the digital and non digital sides and wasn’t on par with the high standards of our book. So Matt Casler and I redesigned it overnight so it could ship the next day. I put it in my design section because its design is unique and atypical.

14-15,

I loved this spread from the day I volunteered to make it to the day it shipped. I liked it mostly because the design was so different from the typical yearbook spreads we design and I wanted to have fun making it. It was difficult to make the background for the design because the resolution had to be extremely high. This was a design feat because I had to piece together several mods into a cohesive spread.

Clubs, SS 4-5, Deadline 7

I chose this spread for my design section because it posed challenges that I overcame. I had to fit eleven photos on the spread. I did this only by putting five of them in mods. I enjoyed this spread because it was nice to have a clubs page after designing only academic spreads all year.

86-87,

I chose this spread for my design section because it was one of my favorite designs. The photos were easy to get because they were of people on publications, yet hard because I had to filter through thousands of photos taken throughout the year at numerous events. Getting the photos early enabled me to finish the design early.

On Oct. 7, sophomore Chad Vanscoter got ready to compete in the 100 backstroke in the meet against Cypress Creek High School at the Wadeview Pool. “[I chose to swim] because I liked doing it and it made me feel good,” Vanscoter said. Before this season, Vanscoter had a goal to win a race before the season ended. Although there were doubts due to his Down Syndrome, Vanscoter achieved his goal and won the 100 backstroke for junior varsity. “I felt really happy,” Vanscoter said. “My goal [had been] to win and [after the meet] I got to push my dad in the pool because I got first.” Vanscoter enjoyed how his teammates cheered him on during his races and how close the team was. “My favorite part [of the season] was the friends I made,” Vanscoter said. “I also liked my coaches.”

Returners shared how they balanced their commitments with swimming and school. Providing the underclassmen with advice so they could achieve success in and out of the pool. “You definitely have to give school all your attention,” senior Noah Hughes said. “But whatever you have left, you have to give to your sport, whatever it might be.” The seniors’ commitment to swimming enabled the team to be victorious. “[The seniors’] commitment [stands out because] the fact they swam for all four years shows how committed they are and shows how great the program is,” Creighton said. The boys strengthened their relationships with each other, which contributed to their success at meets, such as those against Cypress Creek (109-61), Osceola (127-42), and Dr. Phillips (142-33), their highest scoring meet. “We are like brothers, but not [by] blood,”

Freshman year, eight boys walked into the Wadeview Pool for swim tryouts. Four years of varsity swim later, they took on their final season and worked to make it their most successful, ending it with a 6-1 regular season record. The four-year swimmers shared their wisdom and provided leadership to the underclassmen so they could succeed during the season. “A lot of the underclassmen see me as a leader or a captain. I motivate them before a meet and tell them tips so they can get better,” senior Giancarlo Ottone said. The returning senior swimmers knew what coach Rosalie Creighton expected of them and provided leadership by acting as examples of how to be good teammates and demonstrated how to have fun and enjoy the sport. “They are entertainers at practices,” Creighton said. “[They] jump in the pool with wigs and scooters and we laugh a lot.”

At 5:30 a.m. on a summer morning, juniors Grace Easterling and Victoria Pratt dove off the block, ready to swim 2743.2 meters to prepare for the season ahead of them. “Going to morning swim has helped me a lot and getting an extra two practices in is wonderful when it comes to a meet,” Pratt said. Swimming year-round helped Easterling and Pratt when it came time for the school season. Easterling swam the 100 and 200 butterfly and Pratt’s strengths were the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke for club and school swim. Combining their club swimming skills, Easterling and Pratt won the 200 medley relay at five of six meets. “[Easterling and Pratt] have been great [for the team], especially for the relays. We like to put [in] experienced swimmers,” coach Rosalie Creighton said. In the district meet at Winter Park, Oct. 28, Pratt won two district titles in the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke. “[When I get my best time] it feels amazing. If you go to morning practice all the time, you get you’re best time [and] you feel so high,” Pratt said. Through wins and losses at meets, the sport taught Easterling and Pratt about the importance of commitment. “Club swimming has really taught me dedication to the sport and that it’s really important to think about every detail when you’re swimming,” Easterling said. As well as commitment, swimming provided them with wisdom and taught them lessons that applied to everyday life. “Swimming has taught me a lot about staying humble and being respectful and just giving everybody the same respect that you deserve,” Pratt said. The technique Easterling and Pratt perfected at club swimming helped improve their times in their individual races. “I’ve seen a big improvement since [Easterling’s and Pratt’s] freshman year because they swim year-round and not just high school swimming,” Creighton said. After taking sophomore year off from club and school swim, Easterling worked to get back to her original speed. Breaking her records from previous years was a major accomplishment after coming back from a year off of swimming. “I’ll wake up in the morning [and] I’m super tired, but I just think about what I want to accomplish and how important it is to attend practice,” Easterling said. The amount of practice Easterling and Pratt put into club swim showed in their performance at school meets. “When you’re at a meet [and] you’re the one who’s worked the hardest, it shows coach that you actually have dedication for what you do,” Pratt said. Easterling and Pratt had a combined total of 27 first place wins in the 200 medley relay and various individual races. “[When I win, I feel] excitement. It’s mostly adrenaline right before you win and you get really pumped,” Easterling said. The girls swim team ended with a 5-3 record. They placed fourth in the metro and district meet.

Science teachers had their classes conduct labs after lessons to help their students better understand the material being taught. Labs provided hands-on learning, which benefited visual and kinesthetic learners, as opposed to traditional note-taking from PowerPoint slides. “[The brain dissection lab helped me understand the material better because] it was [a] really hands-on lab,” senior Miracle Phillips said. “I’m a visual learner so it helped [me] put [things] into perspective, [like] how the brain is able to function by its structure.” In addition to breaking up the class flow, labs applied material to student’s lives. “[Labs] get [the materials] from being numbers and letters on a page in a workbook to something real that is right before [students’] eyes,” chemistry teacher Erin Blackerby said. “I try to make all my labs fun for the kids, and I

They really take the instruction to a whole new level by applying the material to everyday life,” Rispoli said. In the science classes, students completed labs to help them understand the material. “Chemistry had some really neat labs,” Phillips said. “We were able to see how different substances would react with each other.

Scalpel gripped in his right hand, junior Jack Buckley sliced open a frog in his biology class and observed its internal organs. “[The frog] lab helped me understand placement of organs and functions. Also, it was cool working with amphibians,” Buckley said. Biology students, as a part of a dissection, cut frogs’ stomachs open and used their hands to disassemble the amphibian’s bodies. “[When] I dissected a frog, it was really cool because I had never done anything like it before,” Buckley said. Science teachers had their classes conduct labs after lessons to help their students better understand the material being taught. Labs provided hands-on learning, which benefited visual and kinesthetic learners, as opposed to traditional note-taking from PowerPoint slides. “[The brain dissection lab helped me understand the material better because] it was [a] really hands-on lab,” senior Miracle Phillips said. “I’m a visual learner so it helped [me] put [things] into perspective, [like] how the brain is able to function by its structure.” In addition to breaking up the class flow, labs applied material to student’s lives. “[Labs] get [the materials] from being numbers and letters on a page in a workbook to something real that is right before [students’] eyes,” chemistry teacher Erin Blackerby said. “I try to make all my labs fun for the kids, and I

“I think the concerts helped showcase our talents by allowing us to show off what we’ve learned since we started the program and express our developed talents,” sophomore cellist Angela Quinones said. In addition to displaying the band’s developed musical abilities, the shows gave them a forum in which they could gain courage in front of the crowds, which was a goal of the directors. “Hopefully, [the concerts were] a confidence boost for [the students] to get a positive response from their peers and the crowd,” Cook said. For the musicians to become more relaxed on stage, they had to enhance their ability to accept audience reactions and learn to continue performing even if they began to feel anxious. “I wanted [the audience] to have a good time and enjoy what they listened to,” Jalca said. While the concerts entertained the audience, they also provided the students a chance to grow as musicians and performers. “[The concerts were important to us because we] were able to experience what it was like to perform, which boosted [our] confidence and also got [us] comfortable with being on a stage,” Quinones said.

As the audience filed in with a quiet shuffle and the auditorium lights dimmed, performers rushed behind the curtains to finish setting up for their first piece of the night. Music directors Stephen Cook, Joshua Jackson and Kevin Strang stood on the podium and led the bands into their beginning pieces. On their cue, “Rocky Point Holiday” started to play. The Veterans Day and holiday concerts on Nov. 9, Dec. 10 and Dec. 15, served as ways for the musicians to show the audience the caliber at which they could perform. “[The day of the concert I felt] really anxious all day because of the logistics of the show. We really have to plan for everything,” Cook said. The students also felt nerves on concert day, and they faced the challenge of the limited time available to create the show. “We went straight from competition to [winter] concerts and we only had three weeks to put the pieces together, so I think it showed our true talents,” freshman percussion player Aaron Jalca said. Though they had limited time in preparation for these events, the musicians made the best out of the situation and efficiently compiled the lessons they learned to create the performances.

The NJROTC program participated in a variety of events that provided points towards a total at the end of the year. The top six totals of 60 ROTC programs in the state would go on to earn the DUA. As one of the instructors of NJROTC, Commander Craig Rouhier felt pride in the growth of his program and their ability to compete for the DUA. “Overall it is a good year, [the cadets] have grown a tremendous amount. Not only [in] personal experience, but also in their attitudes and everything that they do,” Commander Rouhier said. I find it enjoyable to see that they can lead and lead by example.

The DUA honored the top 10 percent of the state’s ROTC programs and assisted cadets with college scholarships. To receive the DUA award, cadets participate in field trips, overnight trips and boot camps to gain points. “I feel proud of the distinguished award and proud of my unit, it makes me strive to be a better role model,” West said. As the physical training commander, sophomore Elsie Afonso also helped the team reach their DUA goal. “We have to make sure our unit participates in everything we can and we

In preparation for a Naval Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps competition at Lake Howell, senior Ebony West taught five female cadets a six minute and thirty second routine. “I feel equally nervous and excited going into a competition,” West said. “I am nervous because I am leading the team and hoping I won’t mess up; [however], I am excited because we have worked hard and get to show everyone.” As a cadet in the NJROTC program for all four years of high school, West took pride in her accomplishments. Those accomplishments included earning Master Chief rank, participating on four competition teams and leading a Distinguished Unit (see QR code).
