Personal Essay

Journalism to me is an exciting adventure that never stops teaching. Some key components of journalism are communication and ethics. Through communication you hear about diverse ideas from a variety of people. It helps you learn more about not only different ways of thinking, but it can also help you learn a few things about yourself too. Ethics is always good to have, no matter what field of study you are into. Journalism can help you develop a solid foundation in the professional world. Journalism is challenging, yet inspirational and exciting. I decided to get involved in journalism in the seventh grade. I had always wanted a job that was different every day, but I also wanted to be involved in something that could help the world. Journalism seemed like an interesting subject so I took a yearbook class. The yearbooks in middle school were much smaller than the high school yearbooks, but I loved it. I was able to meet new people and make new friends. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to create a book full of memories that you know people will look back on with awe. I stayed in yearbook in eight grade and was editor in chief. There were many days where I would stay after school to help my teacher, but it was always worth it. I have contributed a different style to journalism. Many of the people I worked with in the high school yearbook team live near each other and have something that ties them together. I, on the other hand, am from the opposite side of town and did not know anyone besides the people from my Journalism I class. I like to think that I brought in a little diversity into journalism. In the future I plan on staying active in journalism. I want to continue to try different things like newspaper or tabloids to gain experience in a variety of different aspects of the field. For college I want to be in the newspaper class or the radio. I will probably minor in communications/media and get a bachelor degree in it. Journalism has really impacted my life and I would love to keep learning from it.

Self-analytical Evaluation

This year I have learned that time and communication is the key to success. Deadlines are easy to make if you use your time wisely. Planning ahead can help you organize your weeks causing less stress and better productivity. By communicating with your editors and team mates there is a greater chance that exactly what everyone needs will get done and there will be no, “I thought you were doing it.” Teamwork makes the whole book complete. When it comes to sales and advertising you have to get out there. Having an optimistic point of view helps you grow confident to talk to people about supporting your cause. Dedication and ethics can create a master piece. In order for your pages to be the best you have to put give your work 100%. Everything must be done the right way with the most respect for the people you work for and the people you talk to. All this I’ve learned in one year of yearbook and I know that it will make me a stronger journalist. I will use these skills in my lifestyle and them to continue learning.

Reflection

The football page is was my all time favorite page! This was the only page that I did not go to majors at all to get scored, but I chose to learn from my failures and I did. I felt the most pressure with this page since football is big in not only our school, but also in Florida. I really wanted to make this the best page it could be. A lot of my friends are football players so they would remind me every day how I needed to make it amazing and put them on the pages. Since this was my first deadline by myself I had a lot of revisions to make. I feel that this was my best work because I was most dedicated with this deadline. I worked with Caroline, the sports editor at the time, extremely well and made sure we were always on the same page so that I could get exactly what she wanted. There were many interviews and running after coaches. Pictures were also hard to get because the players are always bunched up together tackling each other. In the end, I loved how the page looked. The collage of players above the story is my favorite aspect of it because it is unique and it made a way for more players to be put on the page, but in a creative way.

The crowd screamed, the players jumped for joy and the coaches stood proud as they all took in the football team’s first win of the season against Winter Park. The season started slow with the close losses against West Orange, 20-27, and Timber Creek, 27-31, but progressed with the support of the community, even the local paper stating “hot Braves on a roll.” “[Winter Park was] the best game,” senior Michael Bennett said. “Everyone was clicking. This was the confidence we need.” At Winter Park, junior Aaron Turman had three rushing touchdowns, carrying the ball 19 times for 203 yards. Quarterback Sanford Meeks was 6-12 passing. “That was the first game we really played as a team, came together and made plays,”

Meeks, junior, said. Everyone witnessed the teams’ pride as the game was broadcasted live on the Bright House Sports Network. Junior Michael Willett and seniors Devin Griggs and Dominic Cox all made six tackles, while senior Austin Weller and junior Thomas Babb each made a sack. “The kids really rallied up defensively,” head coach Phil Ziglar said. Ending the night 28-21, the team continued their season with more ambition than before. Even though the team was predominantly compromised of sophomores and juniors, they continued improving throughout the season. “[We had] a lot of junior starters. There’s great hope; they’re more experienced, but young,” Bennett said.

They continued to a close loss against Wekiva, 21-22, but recovered to crush Ocoee 35-12 the next week. They had another close victory versus Freedom, winning 38-35. The team won the homecoming game against East River, 42-25, sparking great school spirit. “[When the team wins] everything picks up at school. It’s been proven,” Ziglar said. The team lost in the 60th anniversary game against arch nemesis Edgewater 7-21, failing to reclaim the famed barrel. Edgewater had 42 wins in this rival series versus 16 Boone victories and two ties. Despite this loss and a 5-6 record, the team appreciated the impact football had on their lives. “[Football] is a lot more than just a game. It’s a character builder, more than any other sport,” Bennett said. [monique soriano]

The Musical Arts page could still use some work. The problem I had with this page was that I wasn’t made aware of all the classes that should had been on the page. Here is where I learned that it is important to always talk to your section editor. Communication can save you a lot of time. If I had the time to fix this page up, I would get a variety of photos from each musical art class. There would be no more then one picture from each class so that it would fulfill the title “musical arts” instead of keyboard and orchestra. Pictures were not difficult to get, but I did have to get to school early to get orchestra during first period. I also had to go during third and fifth period to get pictures of other classes. When I look back on the page I am proud of my writing. I enjoyed talking to the orchestra and keyboarding teachers and students. It was interesting since my brother is in band and that was pretty much the only musical art I knew much about.

“I feel really relaxed and very creative [playing the keyboard],” Machado said. “I kind of feel like a mini Beethoven.” Orchestra had four performances: Fall Concert, Winter Concert, Musical Performance Assessment and Spring Concert. At the Musical Performance Assessment, they earned 17 superior ratings. Strang felt that their greatest accomplishment was performing the difficult piece “Vilaldi Gloria” with the choir led by chorus teacher Jossi Doherty. Strang’s favorite part about being a musical arts teacher was sharing music and being able to enjoy it with his students. He hoped that in three years he would have enough students audition to enroll band students to form a permanent wind and percussion section resulting in a full symphony orchestra. “My ultimate goal is that [the students] leave with a love for music and want to stay with it for the rest of their lives,” Strang said. After each concert, his students played the Alma Mater without him. It was the student’s chance to lead. “[Strang] is a nice teacher. He shows enthusiasm and determination,” Johnson said.

teacher helped students develop a new love for music After a childhood full of music, Kevin Strang, keyboarding and orchestra teacher, encouraged students to enjoy music and go beyond the technical aspects of it. Strang began formal music study in fourth grade, and further pursued his interest at the University of Miami, where he received a bachelors degree in music education, and the University of Central Florida for a masters degree in music. He started teaching musical arts in 1989 and started the Orchestra program in 2010. “I was excited,” Strang said. “It is a very big honor to start something where there was nothing.” The first year of orchestra started with one class of 23 students. In it’s second year, the program expanded into two periods, concert orchestra and beginning orchestra, with 33 students in the program. In class, students practiced and studied musical concepts and techniques. “[Orchestra] made me more articulate. It opens you up to more music and keeps me focused,” senior Christopher Johnson said. Along with orchestra, Strang also taught a Keyboarding I class. Senior Rachel Machado, who started playing the keyboard in Strang’s class, was inspired by her experience and considered a minor in keyboarding at the University of Central Florida.

This was one of my favorite photos. In the 2012 Legend yearbook this photo was cropped so that player 30, Michael Willett, and the player behind him, Marvin Bracy, were the only ones that were seen. Willett is in focus and everything else around him is out of focus creating depth of field. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bright orange jersey pops out in contrast to the black background that fills the whole frame. The light post pulls your eyes from the bottom of the picture up and acts as a spotlight on the scene happening in the photo. This photo shows a story of determination due to the dirty shorts and the determined look on Willettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face. It leaves you wondering whether or not he caught the ball. VFootball 10-27_soriano211

Although there is no action in this photo I like how it can make you feel suspense. The photo fills the frame. The pills in front are in focus and the background is out of focus. I am proud of this picture because this picture was one of the ones I took right after learning how to make one item in focus. Since the whole bathroom is made up of dark colors, the white pills emphasize themselves. The white pops out of the brown colored granite. There is nothing directly in the middle, giving the photo rule of thirds, but the bottle leads your eyes to the pills in focus. It has that spooky affect because of its dark colors and the contents itself. (pills,bathroom,etc) VFootball 10-27_soriano211

I thought that this photo was funny. It was unfortunate for our side so I did not use it on my pages. There are rule of thirds and leading lines on the track. There is great action. The football is also in the shot. You can tell that player number two, Marvin Bracy was ready to catch that ball before the interception. He is the only one in orange so there is also a contrast of colors. The black background fills the frame. VFootball 10-27_soriano314

Reflection

I was an asset to the Legend staff because I was willing to help who ever needed it. When I was told what to do by Ms. Burke or an editor I knew that I had to do it right away or else I would forget. When people ask me to do things I like to do them as soon as I can. The hardest thing to do was get the Varsity football team photo. Every time Caroline asked me for it I woud go to Ziglar to try and get it. There were times that I would go on interviews for other staffers while I waited for a layout or if I had nothing to do. One time I went on an interview for Lia, a staffer in Hi-lights newspaper, during my research class. When I sign up for something I always plan to give it my all. It is important to me to only make obligations if I know that I can meet them. This year I started taking college classes unplanned and it interfered with my time working on deadlines. I did not let that stop me though from doing the best I could. I showed my commitment by staying after school to make up time I missed at work days I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to and I would work on my pages during my research class. I take my jobs seriously and I enjoy making the work easier for other people by helping.

Problems and hardships make people stronger. The hardest part of being on staff this year was having the time to get everything done. Since I participated in many outside of school activities, for example Peer Ministry and VCC, I did not have as much time to do things at home or on the weekends. This taught me to plan ahead. When you agree to join a club or start something new, it is important to balance yourself. Now I know that if I was to take VCC next year and be on staff, I should take classes that do not interfere with work days and team bonding activities. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to go to most of the team bonding celebrations, so I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really feel like I was close to any one particular person. I think I handled the lack of time pretty well. If I was late on a deadline it was most of the time a day late and I would always leave Ms. Burke a copy of where I was at on my page so that she would know how much more I had to do. Time management is a life lesson that anyone could use to become better employees and/or people.

Reflection

In the mid-term, I said that my greatest weakness was time management. I would create a plan of how my day should go that would give me the most productivity, but I wouldnt factor in the outside impacts on my schedule. I worst thing I would do was waste class time doing things that I could have done at home. After the first semster, I got better with my time. I would get interviews at school and write the stories at home. I would also print out one copy of my page with the pictures on them so that I could write my captions whenever I had nothing to do in my other classes. The best tip I learned was to look through your pictures after the event you shoot and pick the ones you want. It saves you time at school. Plus if you pick the ones you want to use before you upload, you will know where exactly they are and you will be able to write captions. As I said before, I used my research class as another yearbook class, which helped my gain the much more needed time.

With trembling hands, she opened the pill bottle. The childproof cap fell straight to the tiled floor. She poured a hand full of pills into the palm of her hand, not bothering to count them. Junior Jane Doe* swallowed all the pills and hoped that by ending her life, the pain and depression would end with it. Every day there were approximately 11 youth suicides, according to Teacher Vision.com (2012). Hundreds of teens each day were diagnosed with major depression, a leading cause to a suicide, yet many others were not aware that they had depression, a form of mental illness. For Doe, depression consumed her life early on. In grade school, she was picked on and made fun of because of her mixed race of Hispanic and African American. “I was very emotional at that age. I guess as I got older, I became somewhat introverted. I never felt as if I belonged,” Doe said. To deal with the harassment, Doe began to cut, punch and physically harm herself. In seventh grade, when the pressure and insults got to be too much, she attempted suicide by climbing onto a ledge of a second story window in her science class. Doe was stopped when her teacher spotted her and sent her to a SAFE counselor. “I was really going to do it. The pressure started to build up and I felt so useless, so empty, that I just wanted to free myself from everything,” Doe said. According to Depression Symptoms 101, a survey of high-school students found that almost 1 in 5 teens had seriously considered suicide (2012). Up to that point, Doe had not received the necessary treatment and tried to end her life once again her freshman year of high school when she almost overdosed on unprescribed medication. This incident pushed her to seek help from a therapist soon after. While depression affected Doe directly, some were affected indirectly. Senior Annie Smith* was shaken last July when her father committed suicide. “[The biggest challenge I faced was] coming to realize that I’ll never see him again; I still have to grasp that,” Smith said. Smith’s father had attempted to commit suicide before, in the spring of her sixth grade year. The day he committed suicide, Smith’s mother discovered her husband at home with his wrists slit. Smith never thought that he would do it because he seemed to have been improving. Proceeding his death, Smith became deeply depressed and didn’t know how to cope. “At first I didn’t know how to deal with my depression. I thought, ‘what do I do now?’ Slowly you have to fix the

TEENS BATTLE

problems; you have to face it even though it’s hard,” Smith said. For months, she battled with depression and grief. Only through the realization that she had family and friends who loved her could she make a change in attitude about her life and depression. “[Making a change was] a slow process; it happened over the last four months. It’s cliché, but life is short so why would you want to spend the best years of your life in that state,” Smith said. The struggle towards recovery proved more successful for Smith and Doe than for senior John Lee*. A positive outlook was difficult for Lee to grasp as he felt overwhelmed with feelings of hopelessness and lack of worth. He was Baker Acted twice for attempted suicides. When Baker Acted, he was detained in a behavioral facility for 72 hours where he could not physically harm himself . “I never wanted to go anywhere or do anything in the morning. Feelings of strong dissatisfaction and worthlessness tied me to the bed every morning, and if there was ever any reason important enough to overcome the feelings keeping me down, I rarely looked for it,” Lee said. Local health clinics offered free or discounted treatment for teens with depression but some teens did not know about these venues. Less than 33 percent of teens with depression received help, yet 80 percent of teens with depression could have been successfully treated if they sought help from a doctor or therapist, according to Teenage Depression Statistics (2012). Lee, however, sought help to little avail. Neither therapy nor medication aided him to recover from depression. “I saw doctors and therapists for a few years. I was given medication, but all of the advice I was given did not help as much as I hoped it would. Looking back, the advice wasn’t bad; I think I just wasn’t willing to except it,” Lee said. Depression was, in cases, linked to suicide. It affected Doe, Smith and Lee, and continued to affect people throughout everyday life. “It doesn’t help to tell people not to be depressed so you shouldn’t go out there and tell them not to be because it is an internal battle. They have to realize it themselves,” Smith said. If you or someone you know suffers from depression, and is having suicidal thoughts, do not hesitate to call 1-800 -SUICIDE.

A Christmas gift made junior Elisa Castillo realize that she had an eye for photos. She received a camera, that developed into a new love for photography. She learned that she enjoyed it and later got herself a professional digital single-lens reflex camera. Castillo took her camera everywhere, but mostly enjoyed taking photos of concerts and sunsets. “[Good photography] is when you know how to use your camera and do the stuff yourself,” Castillo said. “[When you] take your camera off auto and use manual.” In the summer of 2010, Castillo put her skills to the test. At Warped Tour, a skateboarding and music festival, she took pictures alongside the professionals. She had the opportunity to take pictures of popular bands in action. “It was the best day of my life. I was so excited,” Castillo said. Castillo learned that she had a creative side and she could express herself through her art. “If anyone wants to get into photography they need to just go out there and take pictures,” Castillo said. She took most of her pictures during the weekends. She never took any photo classes, but planned to in the future so she could learn new angles to take pictures. “[My favorite thing is that] I can do it myself. The positive feedback I get is a bonus,” Castillo said.

just DANCE

He stared at him turn and flip to the music in awe. After watching a friend’s talent, junior Jejomar Sobrepena found his own. Break dancing is the oldest known hip-hop style of dance and is believed to have originated in the Bronx, New York, in the 1970s, but for Sobrepena it started on campus 2010. Sobrepena never thought about dancing until he watched his friend. Interested, Sobrepena decided he wanted to try it. He danced for the first time at his home. “[I just] felt the music,” Sobrepena said. The term “breakdancing” refers to the breaks in music, and the movements that correspond to them. After learning that dancing was something he wanted to do, Sobrepena began practicing with friends at school and at home. Sobrepena would break dance to any song with a good beat. However, he didn’t perform publicly because it was more of a pastime with his friends. “[When you dance you] express yourself,” Sobrepena said. “It’s like you dedicated it to someone.” Style, fashion, spontaneity, concept and technique are tributes to breakdancing. Dancers all have a unique style that is theirs and only theirs. “[If you are thinking about dancing], don’t give up, stay motivated,” Sobrepena said. “People can learn about themselves through it. I didn’t know I could dance.”

transform boredom to art What started in the third grade as an act of escaping boredom, later became a new hobby. Sophomore Mitchell Warner discovered his talent for drawing when he finished all his schoolwork and decided to start doodling. Warner continued to doodle and progressed at this new skill. Whenever the mood struck him he drew. “I have no boundaries; I can sit there and do it and no one can say I’m doing it wrong,” Warner said. Although Warner created his own short anime magazine, he usually drew random things. It took an hour or two to create one drawing. The time depended on whether or not he felt it was good enough.

Since middle school, sophomore Breana Mantuano lived for Japanese animation, television shows, Manga, conventions and sketching. “My sister referred a show to me and I got attached,” Mantuano said. “To this day she regrets it because I’m obsessed, but we share the interest together.” Mantuano’s anime cartoon shows included Bleach, Naruto and InuYasha. She preferred themes of action, romance, legend and myth. She watched every show, each week, when the new episodes debuted. On top of anime Mantuano read Manga, Japanese comic books with anime characters. It is a typical comic book similar to an American one, but reads right to left instead of left to right. “[It is] epicness. The stories and plots are awesome. The culture is great and it’s so diverse and unique. Each character has an intricate personality,” Mantuano said. She sketched images and recreated scenes from her favorite Manga and anime shows. Images of characters and symbols filled the pages of her notebooks. Mantuano attended anime conventions, where she dressed up in costume to express her love of animation with new people. They acted out scenes, took pictures with other characters and sang karaoke. As a part of the Anime Club, Mantuano reached out to other students interested in the anime culture. The club met in sponsor Wendy Ernest’s room every other Thursday after school to discuss and share anime. “[Anime] teaches life lessons and let’s you see situations in a new perspective,” Mantuano said. “I want to share it with everyone.”

Brushes swirled across her side as the cold paint spread down her back to create a black and red corset. After the acrylic paint dried, the artwork was clear and complete. Senior Megan Collins painted her friends in her spare time for fun. Her paintings included cherry blossom trees, corsets and face paintings. Her face paintings were usually designs which included intricate false eyelashes, rhinestones and glitter. “I think it’s enjoyable to do and I like to express myself through art,” Collins said. “It’s a fun way to do it.” Collins listened to music to help her concentrate on painting. She thought it created a calm work space. “I get relaxed when I body paint, and it gets my mind off of other things. It’s like I’m in a new world,” Collins said. Along with body art, Collins made dream catchers for her friends. She made several different sizes decorated with charms and feathers and sold them through her business, Creative Dream. “I’m an artsy person,” Collins said. “I don’t stay inside the box; I love making new things.”

CREATIVE

What started in the third grade as an act of escaping boredom, later became a new hobby. Sophomore Mitchell Warner discovered his talent for drawing when he finished all his schoolwork and decided to start doodling. Warner continued to doodle and progressed at this new skill. Whenever the mood struck him he drew. “I have no boundaries; I can sit there and do it and no one can say I’m doing it wrong,” Warner said. Although Warner created his own short anime magazine, he usually drew random things. It took an hour or two to create one drawing. The time depended on whether or not he felt it was good enough. If he didn’t think it was good enough he would try to finish it until he felt it was perfect. “The power you feel when you’re sketching [is my favorite part]. When you draw you don’t have [any] other feeling because you are creating something,” Warner said.

“I’m really excited [about the 60th year] because generations of my family have come here throughout the years,”

Around 5:30 a.m., custodian Nathaniel Small opened the school and the lunch ladies began preparing breakfast. By 7 a.m. the campus was bustling with students, faculty and parents entering the main office in need of assistance. Throughout the day, support staff helped the campus function. They assisted students with signing in and out of school, scheduling guidance appointments and getting forgotten lunches to them. Even though they were oftentimes referred to as the backbone of the campus, they too needed help getting items delivered and students located for parent pick-up. Each day, rather than leave early, senior Cynthia Gonzales signed in at Student Services ready to start her work as a student assistant. “I’m like a floating helper for them,” Gonzales said. “Whenever they need me I’m there ready to do whatever it is they need done.” Throughout her experience as a student assistant, Gonzales became close to one person in particular: Ann Cadman. This relationship grew when she discovered all the great things College and Career had to offer. With Cadman’s help and guidance Gonzales was on the right track to discovering her options. “Mrs. Cadman is just a really sweet lady. Last year I didn’t have time to see my counselor, but she was there to help me with all my college [search information]. She motivated me so much,” Gonzales said. “When I started helping in guidance I discovered all the opportunities they offered. You just have to go in and see.” Cadman, and other staff members, were able to help students like Gonzales, get all the information they needed, whenever they needed it. “I like to talk to students,” discipline clerk Laura Espinosa said. “A lot of these students just need someone to talk to and I like doing that.” Her efforts did not go unnoticed. Sometimes students needed someone to help calm them down, like sophomore Jovanski Dean Colon. “[Discipline clerks] get me calmed down. They lighten my mood,” Dean Colon said. “They [try to] keep me out of trouble and try to set me on the right path.” At the end of the day, the bustling lowered to a hum as the students, faculty and staff headed home. Then at 11 p.m. head custodian Leason Beckford set the alarms and locked the gates, closing another day on the Reservation. [allie sloan and monique soriano]

After feeding three kids at home, the Reservation’s new food service manager, Hollie Isaac, came to campus at 5:30 a.m. to feed over 2,800 students. Her job was to provide nutritious meals for students and to effectively run a kitchen. Immediately after serving breakfast, she had to make sure enough food was ready for lunch, which oftentimes proved challenging. Some days there was a high demand for pizza and the next, students wouldn’t want any, creating shortages or surplus. She also saw a surge in the number of kids eating lunch, as the school went from 33 percent free or reduced lunch in September to 41 percent in January. “[A typical day is] not stressful,” Isaac said. “But sometimes it’s more hectic with meals that are

Isaac grew up in the area, having graduated from Oak Ridge. Then she married a chef and worked at Oak Ridge and Jones in food services. “[My favorite thing about this school is] the family atmosphere. Everyone has been very friendly,” Isaac said. Isaac also ordered food for events like the Senior and Honor breakfasts. She always helped get meals to kids in need and had no problem helping anyone else in need of help.

Deadline 4 - Musical Arts

page 75 musical arts

[monique soriano]

After a childhood full of music, Kevin Strang, keyboarding and orchestra teacher, encouraged students to enjoy music and go beyond the technical aspects of it. Strang began formal music study in fourth grade, and further pursued his interest at the University of Miami, where he received a bachelors degree in music education, and the University of Central Florida for a masters degree in music. He started teaching musical arts in 1989 and started the Orchestra program in 2010. “I was excited,” Strang said. “It is a very big honor to start something where there was nothing.” The first year of orchestra started with one class of 23 students. In it’s second year, the program expanded into two periods, concert orchestra and beginning orchestra, with 33 students in the program. In class, students practiced and studied musical concepts and techniques. “[Orchestra] made me more articulate. It opens you up to more music and keeps me focused,” senior Christopher Johnson said. Along with orchestra, Strang also taught a Keyboarding I class. Senior Rachel Machado, who started playing the keyboard in Strang’s class, was inspired by her experience and considered a minor in keyboarding at the University of Central Florida.
