PERSONAL ESSAY

Journalism has become an integral part of my life. I have come to rely on its presence to keep me focused and dedicated I got started in journalism when students on the publications came to Blankner and explained the program to us. After hearing about it, I realized that I would enjoy being a part of an organization that ultimately served the school. I liked the idea of working with a group of people towards a common goal: to produce a yearbook that would please the student body. Also David and Jessica always referred to yearbook as a family; I wanted to be a part of it and have that type of connection with my friends. Success came once I grew up. Freshman year I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take yearbook very seriously. As a consequence I was always stressed and behind. By sophomore year I realized the type of commitment I had to make to succeed. Through time management and dedication, the year was easier. Junior and senior year I was an editor. This position is always trying and time-consuming, but it is the most rewarding experience I had in high school. Being an editor pushed me to succeed because I always had part of the staff relying on me. This responsibility is sobering, causing me to work with a new level of dedication and seriousness. Ultimately, yearbook was the most rewarding and memorable experience I have had in high school.

SELFANALYTICAL EVALUATION

This year I have learned many things that will help in yearbook, school and will be beneficiary in life. Being on the yearbook staff for four years has taught me that to make a good book you need to be good at interviewing, writing and design. I also learned that I needed to possess certain important life skills that I can use throughout life, when I have schoolwork or even in a job such as: the ability to meet deadlines, dedication, efficient time management and teamwork. This year I learned how to effectively manage my time and stress. These were important production skills because, for example, when I did not manage my time effectively in the first deadline, everyone who depended on me to design was behind as well. I often had to modify the design of the page to fit the content because I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure what I wanted on each page. This proved to be confusing for the staffers because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a clear vision of what I wanted to cover and stressful for me because I was scrambling to finish pages. I learned that by being prepared and determined making deadline is easy. I did have difficulty meeting my second deadline, but this was because I had to wait for a professional photographer to send a picture. I think that because I made my deadlines it was easier to inspire others to make deadline as well. I had time to motivate and help staffers without having to stress over my own deadline. I recognize the importance of working together because without teamwork the yearbook would not be possible, but I know that I generally prefer to depend on myself and help others because I am confident that I can complete the work assigned to me. This was the first year that I had a positive experience sharing a page. In third deadline, Amy and I finished our page early. We kept each other on task and affectively shared the work to maximize our efficiency. I had another positive experience sharing a page during seventh deadline. Blake was a hard working partner who was always willing to go take pictures, and he even continued to work on the page while I was in New York. We shared the work and worked well together, even when it was necessary to work outside of school. This display of dedication made it easier to finish the page on time. Truly, by this year I realized that advertising is hard. I dreaded selling ads more than any other task on yearbook. Last year I decided not to rely on my family to purchase ads from me, even

SELFANALYTICAL EVALUATION

though that is what I ended up doing. This year I recognized the fact that I was going to have the usual difficulties selling ads, so I just asked family members to sponsor the yearbook by purchasing an ad. I realize this is the easy route, but I did sell my full page. If anything, I have a newfound respect for anyone on staff that was able to sell a page by themselves. This year I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn much about journalistic ethics, but I did put them into practice. When writing stories for other staffers, I often ran into boring quotes that could not be used in the story. It would have been easy to change around their quotes to make them sound more interesting, but instead I went back a re-interviewed. This ultimately led to a better story. I was definitely dedicated to the staff this year. I knew that in order to lead a section and inspire the staff, I needed to present an example of what dedication was. I stayed after school and worked over the weekends in order to meet my deadlines and proof deadlines during deadline one, three and four in order to show the staff how to stay committed.

REFLECTION

My most significant piece of work this year was my issues designs; particularly, the layout for teen with alcoholic parents. My purpose for this piece was to create a spread that captivated the student body, aptly displayed the subject and lived up to Erin Tachiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design (this was my biggest worry). This was my best work because it displayed the best of my design this year. The page was not only ascetically pleasing, but it also was a layout that best conveyed the information. The story is long and informative. The headline is eye-catching, and draws the reader into the story. The graphic was my favorite part of the page because it is aesthetically pleasing and it captures the readerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention. The hardest part of this page was finding a design that fit the subject and was aesthetically pleasing. I redesigned the page three times and spent hours trying to find an inspiration. Despite the time-consuming process of finding a design, the execution was not a problem. I re-sketched the figure multiple times and worked with the layers for a few hours before I finished the graphic. It took a lot of time, sketching and layers to create the final piece, but it is a piece that I am proud of. It best displays my abilities.

informed her of the real reason on the drive home from the department of motor vehicles, after receiving her license. “I think it all started because he wanted to have fun, but then he drank because he was stressed, and then it just became an everyday thing. He blamed it on me,” Doe said. “When I called and talked about the situation a few months after I found out, he told me ‘I drink because of you; you did this to me,’ and I never understood that.” Doe’s cousin was there for her and helped her work through the hard times that followed after finding out about her dad. “It was a lot to take in. She’s my cousin and I love her so my heart broke for her. I just wanted to be there for her in any way I could,” Doe’s cousin said. “It was hard for her, but she was being strong.” Although Doe’s father never abused her, there was maltreatment, including not being an adequate parental figure during the weekends he was responsible for watching her. Forty percent of maltreatment cases involved alcohol or other drugs, according to childabuse.com. “I remember when it was his weekends, the first thing we would do is go to Hooters so he could drink,” Doe said. “There didn’t need to be an occasion [for him to drink].” According to Hope Networks, there were about 26.8 million children of alcoholics in the U.S., as of 2005. Despite her father’s issues, Doe was able to live in a stable environment with her mother and stepfather. “My step dad has tried to legally adopt me, but my dad won’t sign the papers,” Doe said. “I’m okay with [my step dad trying to adopt me] because legally, if anything happened before I turned 18, I would have to live with my real dad. Just knowing that’s the situation sucks.” Environment and social situations influence acceptable standards of substance use. Research by the National Association for Children of Alcoholics shows that children of alcoholics are four times more likely than children of nonalcoholics to develop alcoholism. However, if children of alcoholics are brought up with strong, healthy family traditions, if there is a high religious observance or if they have close relationships with other people around them who are not alcoholics, they can be protected from the consequences of their parent’s alcoholism. Doe had these factors, and because of them, there is a higher chance she will not be an alcoholic. “It sucks to know that someone would rather have alcohol over a person,” Doe said. “From this situation I learned that I would never jeopardize my family, future or anyone’s well-being [over alcohol],” Doe said. “It just isn’t fair to that person.” n AMY COMSTOCK *name withheld

senior found closure after traumatic past through insight, perseverance and support

She was only in kindergarten when her father, sitting in a bar, left her alone for hours at school. Picking her up never crossed his mind. When he finally stumbled his way to her school, he took her home and started a bath. Hours later, as she sat in a cold tub with pruning fingers, her screams echoed through the house to no response. While senior Jane Doe* was driving with her mom 10 years later another traumatic memory was made. Doe’s mother decided she was old enough to understand the reason her parents divorced. She told Doe that her father was an alcoholic. The reason he never responded to her cries years before was because he was passed out drunk in another room. He was completely unaware of his surroundings. “I was in complete shock,” Doe said. “I was driving on Orange Blossom Trail, about to get on the 408. I will remember why I was driving, where I was going and how my mom said it. When I found out I was really hurt because everything started clicking.” Doe was not alone. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reported that almost five million alcohol dependent or alcohol abusing parents have at least one child living at home with them. This not only affects the drinker, but also other family members, and creates a burden on the children. Studies on living with an alcoholic parent revealed that children will often feel guilt, anxiety, embarrassment, confusion, anger or depression resulting from the parent’s abuse. “I can’t trust guys. Whenever a guy starts yelling at me my automatic instinct is to cry. My dad never hurt me, but he would yell in a threatening manner; whenever a guy raises his hand I get freaked out,” Doe said. “When I was in third or fourth grade, I asked him why he just drank [alcohol]. He said ‘it’s all I like,’ and I didn’t push it because I felt like it wasn’t my place to keep asking. When I did keep asking, he was very defensive.” Doe’s mother and father separated when she was 2-years-old, and Doe’s interaction with her father was limited to him watching her on weekends. When they separated, Doe was told that it was because her parents didn’t love each other anymore. Doe accepted this without question, until her mother

“I’m lucky to have the family I have now. If [my dad wasn’t an alcoholic], I wouldn’t be blessed with the step dad that I have,” senior Jane Doe said.

REFLECTION

The spread that I think could still use the most work is the brand vs brand page. Although the finished product is different and definitely an improvement from the original, I believe that it could still use work. Originally we planned to cover “staff picks”, “dressing for a cause”, a fast food poll, the different frozen yogurt brands and we planned to have a quote page. We ended up covering staff picks, but we turned it into a student picks because it would apply to the student body (a good decision). We also covered the different frozen yogurt brands, the fast food poll and we included the quote page. We had to change “dressing for a cause” to a comparison of jean brands because we used “dressing for a cause” on the fashion page. Despite all of the content changes, I believe they all made the page better. The difficulty of this page came with trying to find a design that fit the content of the page. I redesigned the page multiple times and I often changed the content. I wish that I had more time to design the page because I am not completely happy with how it looks. I don’t like the placement of the threshold, nor do I like the actual picture. Looking back at this I would like to change this. I am also not happy with the student picks section because one of the pictures is flipped; I wish that I had noticed that sooner. If I could improve the page I would make sure to flip that picture. Also, I would rework the design of the layout to minimize, what I consider to be, awkward space. From this page I learned how to create a layout using modular design. Before this page I had never attempted to design modularly. It taught me how to create an affective modular layout, without awkward white space or awkward design packages. Overall, I am not upset with how the page turned out, but given the chance I would go back to fix a few mistakes and to rework the layout to create better flow.

I am proud of this picture because it shows great emotion. I am also proud of this picture because she is obviously the center of visual interest because the light is on her and her body is filling the frame. The picture has good lighting because the light hits Coralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face and hair.

REFLECTION

I was an asset to the staff this year because I designed and managed the Student Life Section; I kept improving, I tried to do fun things for the staff and I was completely committed. I feel like I have improved immensely this year. I was an asset not only because I designed a section, but because I led the staff in my section. I was willing to do any work to help someone meet deadline. I did interviews, wrote stories, took pictures, corrected pages and provided motivation for those struggling to complete pages. I helped all of the staffers in fourth and fifth deadline to meet deadline, which I think provided motivation to any of the staffers who found it difficult to meet deadline before. I provided my help and attempted to lead by example to ensure that our publication was as good as it could possibly be. This year I have also been completely committed. As an editor I felt a special obligation to the staff to provide an example of hard-work, dedication and commitment. During first deadline I stayed after everyday in case someone needed something graded. I think my level of dedication was highest during fourth and fifth deadline. I was determined to have everyone in my section meet deadline, so I did whatever was needed to ensure that it would be possible. I also wanted to create the best issues section possible. I worked hard to create the most interesting design I could; I think that the issues deadlines ended up being a success. I also wanted to make sure that the year went as smoothly as possible and that all of the staffers had a positive experience on staff. I did this by staying positive and trying to have a relationship with most of the staffers. I also thought it was necessary that everyone on staff had fun and a chance to celebrate, so after every deadline I brought in a celebratory treat. I hope that I was able to contribute to making everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience on staff positive.

REFLECTION

Honestly, I didn’t experience any monumental hardships this year. I feel that this was the best and easiest year we have had on staff since I was a freshman. The whole staff seemed to get along; we truly were a family. We also always made deadline, and we didn’t have many technical problems (thanks to our Mac lab). My biggest hardship was not meeting second deadline, even then it was not a huge problem. Second deadline was the first deadline that I had pages to send, a page to work on and proofs. Because of this I didn’t help each staffer as much as I always did making it harder for Sarah to complete the Halloween page. This also made it harder for me to complete my own page (everything but the kitchen sink). By going to do interviews, taking pictures and helping to write the story, we were able to get the Halloween page done. Then the only problem was my own page because I was waiting for a professional photographer to e-mail me a picture. Although we had to ship this page with third deadline, we were not penalized for it. Through teamwork and dedication we completed everything; I feel that the situation was handled properly. I learned from this experience that helping each staffer, no matter how busy I am, is necessary. I also learned that I need to be more proactive when waiting for something necessary to completing the page. If the situation were to arise again, I would make sure to be more persistent in contacting the company, instead of just hoping that they would make contact with me. I would also make sure that when supervising someone, I would offer to help with anything they needed; I would carefully monitor their progress everyday. I believe that my biggest hardship this year hasn’t occurred yet; it will be saying goodbye to everyone. Over the past four years I have made close friendships. All of the senior editors, on both yearbook and newspaper, have bonded to the point at which we are a family. I am very thankful for the time that I have had to work with and get to know everyone on staff and Mrs. Burke. I really do care for and love everyone; it will be hard to say goodbye.

REFLECTION

The three goals I set for myself were to finish my own pages quicker, to make sure all of my pages shipped on time and to make every student happy when the book came out. I finished my own pages quicker in both fourth and seventh deadline by not talking to David as much as usual. Also I made sure to have all of my designs finished before class. I worked on the pages at home, which allowed me to have time to help people in class. I was able to ship all of my pages on time in fifth deadline by working with staffers everyday and insuring they were on deadline. I believe that we did please the student body with the yearbook this year. I contributed to this by designing the most interesting and intricate designs possible, so that the pages engaged the students. I also tried to insure that the pages in my section were factually accurate, and that they provided complete and thorough coverage of the topic.

This page has a good and consistent use of color. Also the graphic is complex and visually appealing, combining unique, hand-drawn elements with Photoshop technique. I think that the headline is the best part of the page because it is interesting enough to draw the reader into the story. I am proud of this page because it shows the best of my work. Y42.

I like how both pages of the double page spreads flow and look connected to each other. I also like the headline design and the length of the story. Finally, I am proud of the graphics because they are my best work with Photoshop to date. Y18. Feature photo “Pumpkin carving” page 16-17 I would like this picture to represent me because it shows great emotion. She is obviously the center of visual interest with the light on her and her body filling the frame. The picture has good lighting because the light hits Coral’s face and hair. The photo also follows the rule of thirds with her face being in the top third of the picture, and the main action of her carving the pumpkin in the bottom right corner. What attracts me to the picture is the look on Coral’s face because it defines how most people feel when cleaning out a pumpkin and it also shows how much fun the staff had carving pumpkins.

“[Rehab] is a helpful tool because no one can quit drugs alone. In rehab there are tons of people there to help you cope without drugs and hopefully, eventually quit,” junior Jane Doe said.

At home, he was surrounded by a family whose problems and addictions forced him to look for a much needed escape. Senior John Doe* went to his room and sat on his bed alone; he pulled out the evidence of his homemade Roxies. Laying the tin foil out and spreading the drug around, he sparked the bottom and inhaled the smoke ejected by the spark of a lighter. As he consumed the drug, he felt the sense of relief wash over him; it was a hit he could not resist. He had his escape; he had his drugs. “My household was completely screwed up and everyone around me used drugs to cope with their problems. That’s how I started and how I got addicted,” Doe said. Being brought up by a family that abused drugs, he was not devoid of opportunities to follow in their footsteps and participate in their destructive habits. At 9-years-old, he first tried weed, much earlier than the average age of 14, according to drug-rehabs.org. At 12-years-old, he tried Xanex. This followed him in his future like a shadow from hell. At a certain point, the darkness and disillusionment overcame him and he was in need of a more potent high. Once he entered high school he began doing cocaine, LSD and more Xanex, which took over his body. He never knew when to stop. “I was always too under the influence to realize I needed help. When my brother died August [2009] of overdose, it made me want to quit but I was just too addicted,” Doe said. After many years of living with his dysfunctional family, Doe decided to live with his grandmother. This gave him a better living environment and a chance for a cleaner life. He had the opportunity to start over and support for a better future. “My grandmother always supported me no matter what. Because she did, she helped me make many positive decisions in my life,” Doe said. Doe looked up to his siblings when he was younger. When they lost one of the five, it was a devastation for the entire family. “It just makes me so mad because a month before the overdose my brother was under the influence and was hit by a train and lived, yet a month later he took one shot of heroin and died,” he said. In February 2010, School Resource Officer Kenneth Pinkston took Doe out of class because he smelled like weed. Since he was still a minor, Pinkston escorted him to the Addiction Receiving Facility to take a drug test, which he failed for seven drugs; two drugs too many. While he waited to clean out his system before going to a rehabilitation program, he lived in a cell at ARF. According to therapistunlimited.com, about 8 million people go to rehab for drug and alcohol abuse in the U.S. every year. “I had drugs in my pocket [when I first got to rehab]. I got them from my secret stash while I packed. I used them before I left, but the next day I realized I just needed to stop,” Doe said. In his time in The Grove, the rehabilitation program he participated in, he went to weekly therapy, three narcotics anonymous meetings a day and had a serenity prayer before every meal. He also had to write in a journal to chronicle his progress and his frustrations. Eventually his journal became more of a habit than a responsibility. “I’m so bored here; I just want to listen to music. It’s the only thing that keeps me sane,” Doe wrote. In the program a patient earned home passes; this allowed the patient to leave the facility for up to three days. Some patients took advantage of this inch of freedom and smuggled drugs back from their homes to the facility to use and share with others. This is how Doe tried heroin for the first time. “After I did heroin I felt awful because that’s how my brother died. After I was straight [from heroin], it made me try even harder to stop,” Doe said. While in the facility, Doe was inspired by his girlfriend, of the time, to stay sober. Her company during home passes, and her phone calls and letters were his major motivation. Through her support, he was able to become dorm chief and earned perfect daily grades. “Mr. D wrote on my point sheet ‘Great leadership and has shown big improvements.’ I feel like I’m actually making a change. I guess that [my girlfriend] is actually making me want to change,” Doe wrote. After being dorm chief for two months, he began to gain respect from others in the facility and tried encouraging them to get clean too. “I mentored them the best ways I could. I would notice kids would get higher levels and get in less trouble too,” Doe said. He graduated from The Grove after being sober for seven months. He went back to his life, but three months later, he was put on probation for relapsing on weed in 2010. According to druglibrary.org, 39.9 percent of the U.S. population relapses the use of drugs after quitting. Knowing he would most likely not graduate with the class of 2011 if he was caught breaking probation, Doe decided to get clean. After graduation he planned to go to college at ITTech for gaming design. “I want to make it to college. No one else in my family has, and that would be an awesome accomplishment for me,” Doe said. By staying out of the drug world, he found ways to get around relapsing on drugs again. Instead of getting high to pass the time, he played Xbox, basketball, skated, played chess with his grandmother and visited his girlfriend. They were his new sources of escape. “I didn’t think I would be able to always resist the peer pressure. But I can change for the better, no matter what,” Doe wrote. n CHRISTIE RIECK *name withheld

“I’ve seen [cyber bullying] become a big problem with my peers because of all the social networking,” junior John Doe said.

As she walked down the halls, she crossed her jacket over her body and paranoia struck; every glance in her direction seemed to be one of judgement and hate. The night before, junior Jane Doe* created a Formspring in hopes of connecting with friends, but all she saw were derogatory comments. Reading one harsh statement after another, her heart dropped. Her anxiety bubbled into tears, which led to a minor attack. Trying to contain her erratic, uncontrollable breathing, she minimized the screen before the lies became her reality. “I was heartbroken. I wish they would have said it to my face because it would have given me the opportunity to tell them how I felt,” Doe said. Creating a Formspring was Doe’s threshold into joining the 42 percent of teens bullied via the Internet, according to isafe.org. April 2010, Doe was maliciously attacked by anonymous peers who bashed her personality and physical appearance. On Formspring, she was called a “leechy, obnoxious, attention whore” who needed to “stop wearing low cut shirts,” revealing “acne on her saggy boobs”. “I was taken aback. I wanted to fire back, to defend myself, to tell off the person who thought they had me pegged so well,” Doe said. After a month of bullying, Doe began to believe their comments and modify herself accordingly. Her mother warned her not to let the cyber bullying alter her identity, but that proved difficult. She went from wearing v-neck shirts to crew neck shirts to cover her body, trying anything to stop the attacks. She decided to keep her thoughts to herself and become unusually introverted rather than her normal outgoing self. “I was self conscious. Internally, it was the end of the world. I lost appreciation for myself because it was so emotional,” Doe said. According to safety.lovetoknow.com, 41 percent of youth who are cyber bullied don’t express their discomfort to anyone. Doe was spared this loneliness with the continuous support of her best friend and mother. Doe’s friend frequently called her and allowed her to release the stress and pain caused by the bullying. After hearing about it, her friend began to read the comments and tried to make the bullies seem absurd so that Doe would be relieved during this time. “I was just there to listen to her, no matter when it was. I was a stable support system. I would just tell her not to believe anything that people say because she is a beautiful person inside and out,” Doe’s best friend said. Doe’s mother found out about the online attacks and witnessed her

daughter’s withdrawal from her previously outgoing persona, and comforted Doe, warning her to ignore the harsh statements and to just be herself. “[My mother] encouraged me. She helped me realize that this is just what immature kids do,” Doe said. Because Formspring is open for anyone to post and see, teens were vulnerable over the Internet. The anonymous comments increased bullying, causing more teens to inflict harm on themselves as an outlet. Doe’s best friend knew Formspring made her an easy target and tried to decrease the effectiveness of the comments. “After that experience, I stayed away from Formspring. I don’t see the need to bully people. I mean, everyone is mean sometimes, but I have better things to do with my life,” Doe said. The bullying didn’t stop at Formspring; Doe was also attacked on her Facebook wall and cyberstalked through AOL Instant Messenger. According to safety.lovetoknow.com, Doe was part of the 49 percent of teens who were bullied and cyberstalked through AIM. Although she knew the individual on Facebook, she never found out who the perpetrator from AIM was. To stop the constant pursuer on AIM, she eventually quit using the program. “I never found out who it was, but I forgave them a long time ago. I’m not one to hold grudges so I kind of grew up. I realized how insignificant the comments were and they were only bothering me because I let them. If they are bored enough to go as far as finding out my AIM, it’s kind of flattering,” Doe said. After help from her friend and a new positive mind-set, Doe began to realize the criticism was just other teens’ projections of their insecurities. She came to terms with the fact that some people would interpret the attributes of her personality and appearance as inferior. “I still wonder who it was; I never found out, but the comments don’t bother me anymore. It was hurtful and it kind of knocked down my self esteem but I realized they are going to think whatever about me. So I say just wear what you want to wear and be who you are,” Doe said. While Doe had a traumatizing experience with cyberbullying, she grew from it, unlike four teens who committed suicide. In a Time Magazine article, four kids, unrelated to each other, committed suicide in October 2010 in the U.S. alone. These cases resulted from excessive and long term bullying, proving that this is a serious matter that is impacting teens at a fast rate. n CHRISTIE RIECK AND HOLLY SMITH *name withheld

REFLECTION

I have definitely grown in this class, mostly in the design aspect, which has led me to creating a more sophisticated portfolio than my previous years. This design has been more complex than any of my previous designs because I am combining hand-drawn elements with Photoshop technique (something I have been experimenting with this year). I redesigned my portfolio several times before I came up with an idea and design that I truly like. I like this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design because it is different from what I have done before. It uses new technique and different materials to create an interesting design. I believe that the quality of my writing in my portfolio is equal to that of last year, but that the quality of my writing in class has improved. This year I am particularly proud of the stories I wrote about water polo because I always have difficulty writing sports stories. I believe that the story accurately displays how underrated the teams were this season, but how successful they ended up being. I believe that this year my interviewing skills have improved. I have learned how to find the best story; with the better quotes and angles I have found writing stories to be easier and more enjoyable. My overall quality of work has improved in both class and my portfolio. Last year, although I did find inspiration from another designerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, I created everything on my own. This year I created the design myself. In class my work has also improved. Junior, sophomore and freshman year I believe that I could have improved much of what I did. Although I could still improve my pages this year, I believe that they are closer to the standard of perfection that I set for myself. I believe that I have improved immensely in class. I now find it easy to meet deadline, design, grade and lead the staff. I think that my improvement has mainly come from an increased confidence in my own ability and dedication. I have found through hard work and dedication, yearbook is easier.

Ogando began taking martial arts at Englewood Academy when she was 8-years-old. Her mother enrolled her and her sister so they could learn how to protect themselves. Since her first competition when she was nine, Ogando participated in seven competitions a year. Her last competition was the American Federation of Martial Arts in Quebec, Canada. There she participated in fighting and weapons divisions and received second place in both. “It was an international tournament, so pretty much everyone into martial arts came. I was really excited to go and win all of those trophies and awards,” Ogando said. Before entering a competition, Ogando practiced for days doing kicking and punching drills. Despite the challenges, Ogando’s instructor kept her motivated. “My instructor [is my biggest influence] because he is all about self-discipline and respect for one another,” Ogando said. “[In the future] I hope to help the community by teaching self-defense.”

Although the school dress code was common knowledge and strictly enforced, the basic rules were constantly being broken. These students were caught out of dress code. To be in dress code skirts, shorts and pants must reach one’s fingertips when arms are extended straight down and be secure on the waist. Shirts and dresses needed sleeves and could not show the midriff.

She walked to the bin filled with holiday gift bags and wrapping paper. As she pulled out the wrapping paper, she considered which scrap pieces were big enough for the pattern of the shirt she was about to make. “I started out making patterns from wrapping paper. My first was on Yu-Gi-Oh wrapping paper because it’s easier [to use] and cheaper,” junior Alexis Mauerman said. Mauerman’s mother made clothes for her when she was younger which inspired her to begin sewing. Her mother had a fashion design degree and had been sewing for 30 years. “[Alexis] started with lessons from someone else. Anything she wanted to try I would take her shopping and guide her on how to do it. I would stay close by if she had any problems,” Ceri Mauerman said. “She is artistic and creative.” Mauerman made shirts and dresses and did alterations to things she bought. Mauerman liked to make her own clothes so that she could add her personality

to them and express herself. “The [reason I sew] is because a lot of the clothes I find in stores I can’t wear because I have modesty standards. I can’t wear anything without sleeves or that is too short,” Mauerman said. “[My favorite things to make are] dresses. I think they are easier to make and they are prettier.” Besides clothing, Mauerman sewed linens such as bedspreads for her room. In the future, Mauerman hoped to sell the items she made through her own clothing line that would be named Raindance. Inspiration for this name came to her while running in the rain. Mauerman made clothes on the weekend because sewing took up a lot of time. School work and extracurricular activities, like swimming, water polo and French Honor Society filled up her weekdays, making it hard for her to sew. “I just like sewing; it’s almost addicting. Once you get started it’s hard to stop,” Mauerman said. n CHELSEA SABA AND LINDSEY WILHITE

DANIEL BORRELL, freshman ORIGIN: Brazil As they sat in the living room, clutching each other, with eyes fixated on the screen, the announcer yelled “goal!”. With the game won, the family cheered for Brazil. Because freshman Daniel Borrell was of Brazilian and Cuban decent, soccer was a key part of his family’s culture. “Soccer is [my family’s] big tradition; we have big parties, and if we don’t watch, it’s like we’re shunned,” Borrell said. Borrell, along with his friends, enjoyed going to Barber Park to play soccer. “I’m really proud of our soccer tradition because it’s Brazil’s national sport; it has been like that since I can remember,” Borrell said. Along with the tradition of watching all of Brazil’s games, Borrell’s relatives and family friends, gathered for traditional Cuban and Brazilian dishes such as Pastel, a type of taco filled with different meats and cheeses; Brigadero, a chocolate ball covered in sprinkles; and Pao de quejo, a breaded ball of cheese. “I really love spending time with my family and getting to watch the games with them and really close family friends. It gives me a break from everything else,” Borrell said.

Akinwolere and his family brought their passion for football (known as soccer in the States) with them when they moved to America five years ago. “I like the challenge [of soccer]. Some people may find the sport quite easy by just observing it, but in reality it can be tough,” Akinwolere said. In England, Akinwolere began soccer because it was easy to pick up. With football being the most popular sport in England, Akinwolere became fond of it and played since the age of six. “[I love soccer] because it’s more than what the eye sees, it’s deeper than that,” Akinwolere said.

WEANG RUACH, sophomore ORIGIN: Sudan Crammed into one place just trying to survive, families came and went, hoping and praying to get a green card and leave the country torn with civil war. For sophomore Weang Ruach, this was reality until his family got to come to America last year with the UN after his father was shot for being a priest. Being in America was different for Ruach’s family. Before they came to America they had never seen packaged meat; they had to catch their food in the wild and prepare it themselves. On dirt roads, multitudes of people rode one bus instead of owning their own car. “We were very self sufficient. Everyday my mom had to walk to get our water and other basic supplies,” Ruach said. Living in Sudan gave Ruach a sense of independence and respect. He did not have to rely on his parents to tell him what to do or where to go. Along with that, he learned his morals to follow rules and be respectful. He learned to treat other members of his family as though they were his parents. “[I am most proud of] my heritage and how my parents raised me. I’m not just black. I am African,” Ruach said.

MAY NIU, junior ORIGIN: Taiwan While walking down the crowded streets of Taiwan, the neon signs flash brightly and the sounds of street vendors yelling and scooters honking reached junior May Niu’s ears. Niu’s parents immigrated to the United States from Taiwan in their early 20’s. When Niu was six, she and her family moved back to Taiwan for six years so she could learn Chinese. “When I moved [to Taiwan, Chinese] became more natural to speak. [Taiwan] is not a cultural pot like it is here. It’s a small country and people there are more dependent,” Niu said. Being raised in Chinese culture, which centers around honoring ancestors, taught Niu respect and how to obey elders. “[My culture taught me] to know how to respect your elders but I guess here it is not as big a deal,” Niu said. “My grandma raised me and if you misbehaved, you got hit by a bamboo stick.” When Niu was 12, she and her family moved back to the United States, and although she still retained cultural practices, like studiousness, she also assimilated to American culture through break dancing. “[When you’re Asian] people think you are a nerd, but then they see you break dance; it’s fun surprising people,” Niu said.

WYNONNA KAUFUSI, senior ORIGIN: Polynesia Growing up in Hawaii with a mom from the Island of Togan, senior Wynonna Kaufusi experienced what it was like to be Polynesian. “My background is different [from the norm] so it feels cool [being raised in my culture],” Kaufusi said. Kaufusi and her family learned the cultural dance of Tahiti. Her whole family (cousins, parents and relatives) were professional Tahitian dancers. They worked at the Disney Polynesian resort as dancers. “It feels good on the inside; it feels fabulous just to learn how to dance. It lets me fill in what I left behind in Hawaii. Dancing at Disney felt emotional, learning different dances everyday has given me more confidence,” Kaufusi said.

EASAH RAHMAN, junior ORIGIN: Pakistan, Nicaragua Sitting at lunch with an empty stomach, he eagerly awaited the sun to go down so he could break his fast. Junior Easah Rahman was not eating because he was celebrating Ramadan, a holiday in Islamic religion. “[The hardest part] is trying to get through the day without eating and resisting the temptation. It handicaps a lot of fun things I want to do like going outside. Things that make you sweat, tend make you thirsty,” Rahman said. One tradition specific to Islam that Rahman practiced was Ramadan which is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. This is the time when, Muslims believe, the Quran was sent down from heaven. To celebrate and focus on their faith, Muslims fast everyday from sunrise until sunset. “All of my family does it; we’ve done it for years. It’s both a cultural and religious duty. It’s also a good way to learn restraint,” Rahman said. Rahman’s parents were immigrants from Pakistan and Nicaragua. Being raised in two different cultures meant he experienced different cuisines like carne asada (roasted meat). “[The best part of my culture is] I get to know the best of three different worlds,” Rahman said.

ELSA MEISTER, junior ORIGIN: Iceland Unable to sleep the night before, junior Elsa Meister wakes up to the sound of her mother’s voice calling out “Gleðileg jól,” Merry Christmas, and looks towards the window to see the anticipated present left in her shoe. Leaving a present inside of a shoe the child left out the night before is a tradition that occurs during the 26 days of the Christmas season in Iceland. “It is sped up a little bit because we don’t have enough time [for the 26 day Christmas] during winter break. We don’t put the shoes in the window that often because we don’t really have the time,” Meister said. Meister’s mother moved to the United States after her older sister was born. Although they lived in a new country, they still practiced Icelandic traditions including eating kleinurs which are similar to doughnuts and the Iceland favorite, horse meat. “[My favorite part of Christmas is] that I get to see my mom [who lives three hours away] and eat the food. My mom makes good traditional Icelandic food like fish and potatoes. It’s salty and buttery, but very good,” Meister said.

and two bathrooms. For six people, that’s not a lot of space, so there was a lot of compromising,” Doe said. According to a recent report from Condo Vultures, in the past three years, 250,000 homes were foreclosed in Florida alone and according to RealtyTrac®, throughout the U.S., one in every 136 houses received a foreclosure filing during each quarter. The percentage rate of foreclosures has continued to rise since 2007. “Now people don’t have money to spend [and] I think this is a crisis; it’s affecting a lot of people, but we have to move on,” Doe said. To deal with the recession and the cutbacks, Doe and her family started to take advantage of coupons for groceries, checked out sales and bought a cheaper car. Instead of going to Publix for their groceries, Doe’s mother got a membership to Costco to buy in bulk and refrained from unnecessary spending. These measures cut their shopping price by half. “Before we went out all the time for dinner and I was always buying clothes, but there is a lot less of that now,” Doe said. The escalating stress increased by the recession caused fractures in Doe’s family that made its negative impact more paramount. Divorce between her parents ensued. With isolation came less people to share the worry with, making her situation feel even more hopeless. Through that hard time, Doe learned life lessons. Throughout the recession Doe learned the value of a dollar. She got her own job and taught herself how to budget her money. “It never occurred to me how hard people had to work to get what they have and it opened my eyes to see how hard it was to keep that,” Doe said. *Name withheld  CHRISTIE RIECK

It sucked losing the house I grew up in,” Doe said. With neither parent being able to provide a stable income, Jane Doe and her family had to rely on their grandmother, who they lived with for three months. Eventually, after acquiring jobs, the family became economically self-sufficient and bought another house. “It was really cramped. We moved from a two story four bedroom and a two and a half bathrooms into a one story with three bedrooms

“I would brag about the interesting costumes I saw [during homecoming week],” junior Sumer Bonner said.

The typical Monday morning gloom was replaced by energized students. School had yet to begin for the day, but students filled the commons, crawling in the planters like ants. It was the Monday of homecoming week and freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors were decorating their class planter preparing for the week of spirit. “[Decorating the planter] got me psyched, especially for the dress up days. Every time I walked by it, it got me excited,” senior Tyler Johnson said. As Tuesday approached, girls started getting pumped for Powder Puff where it was time for girls in each class to compete against one another in a football game. The first game started and the reigning champs, the juniors, came out fighting against the freshmen. Staying tough throughout the game, the juniors won 43-0. The second game started and the seniors charged the field with energy hoping to crush the sophomores. Quarterback Bailey Florin led the sophomores, who outran the seniors, 22-0. In the final game the two winners faced off and the juniors shut out the sophomores, 10-0. “It felt great [being a two time champion]. I’m looking forward to next year,” junior Robbi Garrett said. “I am very confident.” Thursday night arrived and the festivities continued with Braves Brawl, the traditional homecoming week talent show. Each class, the Boone Dance Crew, the step team, cheerleaders and Bravettes performed. The competition was tight but the time-traveling Bravettes, last year’s winners, won yet again. Varsity cheerleaders came in second place and the Senior Class in third. At the bonfire, after Braves Brawl, football coach Phil Ziglar guaranteed a win for the game the next day. “[Winning Braves Brawl] was really exciting, it’s not something you can explain, it’s like a high,” sophomore Morgan Carr said. Friday afternoon the annual homecoming parade made its way around the block consisting of class and club floats. The contest for the best float was competitive with the Junior Class winning once again. The Senior Class

came in second and Key Club in third. The parade also set the anticipated mood for the big football game that night. “[My favorite part about the float was] getting to know people I wouldn’t normally talk to,” junior Rachel Peddie said. Pre-game events assembled as students tailgated and the Rowdy Crowd prepared for the game, guaranteed to be a victory by Ziglar. The stakes for the team were high; if they won the game it allowed them to stay alive for play-off opportunities. Within the first few minutes of the game the team scored a touchdown and set the mood for the rest of the game. At half time, cameras flashed as seniors Kyle Jones and Samantha Marozzi were announced homecoming king and queen. In the fourth quarter of the game, the momentum picked up as the defense stopped Freedom from advancing to the goal line. At the end of the quarter, sophomore Aaron Turman made a game deciding play, by catching an interception and ran the ball 70 yards. Boone defeated the undefeated Freedom, 24-10. “[Before the game, the team was] really serious because it was probably the biggest game of the year,” sophomore Sanford Meeks said. Homecoming week came to an end with the anticipated dance on Saturday night. At the dance, administration enacted a new rule; they used orange bracelets to help enforce appropriate dancing. If adults saw inappropriate dancing they would take off the bracelet as a warning. If they saw that same person “dirty dancing” again he had to leave the dance and could not attend prom. The jellyfish decorations added more light than previous years which made finding the offensive and inappropriate dancers easier. Despite these changes, other traditions of the dance remained such as: homecoming court making an appearance. “[I wanted] to have fun,” freshman Joseph Delavega said. “It was everything I thought it would be.” n AMY COMSTOCK AND VICTORIA LAI

While creeping around the house, searching for clues, she tried to figure out who the guilty person was. Freshman Danielle Lobozzo attended a murder mystery party to celebrate Halloween. The host assigned each guest a character to dress up as for the party. When they arrived, Lobozzo and guests toured a fun house when suddenly a clown took the victim (Tori the Count) and “killed” her. To help solve the mystery, they received clues as to why the killer disliked the victim. Finally after finding the murder weapon when the victim came back as a ghost and searching through the clues, which were found at the scene of the crime, the murderer was revealed. “It was a lot of fun because there were people that I didn’t really know,” Lobozzo, who was the bride of Frankenstein, said. “And

According to MSNBC about 85 to 90 percent of children in America trick or treated this year. For Ballard, trick or treating was a tradition since he was 4-years-old. Once in high school, he went with a group of friends and dressed up as the Titanic since his friend Blake Waranch was an iceberg. After trick or treating, Ballard watched scary movies and ate his recently obtained Halloween candy. “[I like Halloween] because I get to show off my costumes and it’s fun to hang out with friends and eat candy,” Ballard said. n SARAH BERLINSKY

Others liked dressing up and going to parties with their friends. While other students liked being scared by thrilling adventures through haunted houses or by being chased by monsters at Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights. Whichever one they chose, there were endless ways to have a good time on the Night of Hallows Eve.

“I’ve been given awesome opportunities to show what I can do [with my band],” senior Kyle Welling said.

They stood together with their guitars in hand pretending that their peers, who were eating sandwiches and chips from brown paper bags, were the rushing, screaming crowds in the concerts they dreamed of. Once a week juniors Daniel Bernal, Tyler Colick and Stephen Burton brought their guitars and amps to school to play during B lunch. “Lunch is the only time you can actually have 30 minutes to play, sing and have fun. I’m not a stage fright person so I ignore the audience, play guitar and do what I love,” Colick said. Since freshman year, the three boys got together at lunch to prepare themselves for the dreams they had for their future. Striving to be successful in the entertainment industry, they started small, hoping to gain audiences. “[Playing at lunch] gets me used to playing around people. If I ever become famous, I won’t be scared standing in front of a bunch of people,” Burton said. The band mates had already begun to move further in their musical endeavors by recording their music and playing in gigs at the Haven Lodge and The Social. They received positive feedback from their audience. “I already have my EP out. [Playing music] is something I plan to do for the rest of my life because it’s the best feeling in the world. I can be anything I want,” Bernal said.

She began writing music four years ago. n RAP IT OUT. Throwing down his lines, freshman Colin Serocifino performs a rap with friends at lunch. “When I rap about personal things, it all just comes out really fast,” Serocifino said. He has expressed himself through raps since fifth grade.

n EAT AND ROCK. In B lunch, juniors Tyler Colick, Daniel Bernal and Stephen Burton rock out on their guitars. These three friends played every genre from classic rock to country.

n STRINGS OF BEAUTY. In AP American History, junior Charles Glazer plays classical music to his classmates while they take a test. “I’ve gotten to the point where [playing violin] is something I’m good at so it makes it more fun,” Glazer said. He has played the violin since he was 2-years-old.

MUSICAL STUDENTS Sitting in his seventh grade geography class with his future fellow band member, Braiden Wood, junior Thomas Silvers dreamed he could end up touring the country with a famous band. His dreams became reality when Silvers along with the band, Before You Exit, traveled to cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Seattle, touring with All Time Low. “[Touring around the country] was incredibly exciting and inspiring. It showed me what the real world was like because I experienced new things and saw new places,” Silvers said. For Silvers and the rest of the band, it became routine to arrive in a new city, unload equipment, check sound, meet fans, play their show and watch All Time Low play. To get themselves noticed, they had to meet people in the industry, make lots of friends by meeting their fans before they played and entice them to come see the show again. “Our goal was to get our music out as much as possible. We would like to be selling out like [All Time Low],” Silvers said. BeforeYou Exit and All Time Low had a connection through their mutual manager who helped them by providing the experience of working together. “It was cool to be friends with the band members that have been my idols since sixth grade. The fact that we got to spend everyday with them was a dream come true,” Silvers said.

tour your dreams

Throughout the student body, there was a collection of students with a common dream to succeed in the music business. Students performed on campus while others toured the country, or sang in a choir, or even spat some rhymes like Lil’ Wayne. Along with having classes to teach students an instrument or vocals, there were students who taught themselves. They all strove to reach a similar goal whether they played for fun or in front of a large audience. The love they had for music was similar but they had their own way of expressing it. n CHRISTIE RIECK AND HOLLY SMITH

The Rowdy Crowd gathered in the junior parking lot before every home game to tailgate and paint themselves before kickoff. The tailgating soon drew a crowd of over 40 students. Cornhole and football scrimmages broke out, and the pre-game tailgating became a tradition. “We have a lot of individual people who are spirited and it rubs off on the rest of us,” senior Caitlin Killgore said. The senior girls painted the Rowdy Crowd boys, participating in the traditional spelling of “GO BOONE BRAVES!”; involving everyone in the activity and raising school spirit. “I wanted to show my school spirit and enjoy my last year. It’s been great to get close to all my classmates in my final year here,” Killgore said. “Being able to hang out and meet people who I’ve never known [has been great]. It’s made me much more involved, but it makes leaving that much harder.”

The spirit in the football stadium overflowed into the gymnasium as the varsity volleyball team had their best playoff run in school history. The student section organically grew into a force of over 65 strong, cheering the team on all the way to the state championship in Lakeland. “[My favorite event was] the state volleyball championship because it was the first [state championship] Boone has been to since football freshman year. It was just crazy fun,” Meredith said. “During volleyball, I think our attendance helped the girls play a lot better because they knew we were there cheering for them.” The attendance at these games created an atmosphere that traveled from location to location, providing support for the senior class activities. “We’re a very involved senior class and we love this school. We’re proud to be Boone Braves,” Killgore said. “I feel really honored and blessed to come to this school.” n DAVID BALLARD

Cheers flooded the campus, washing away the stress of AP classes and college applications as the most spirited senior class in years fused together to create a symbiotic atmosphere, one that was readily available for any school event. “I was really impressed with the enthusiasm of the senior boys during the football season. They set a standard for what spirit represents at Boone at every game. Once the football season was over, I was equally impressed that the football boys continued by showing their spirit and support for other sports -- volleyball and basketball,” Senior Class sponsor Sarah Kittrell said. The grass-roots nature of the senior support started with implementing pre-game activities for the football Friday nights on campus. “[I participated in the pre-game tailgating] because the Rowdy Crowd is something Boone is known for and I wanted to be a part of it,” senior Connor Meredith said.

People were actually volunteering to wheel me around,” Townsend said. Townsend also walked around with a boom box playing signature songs that described each day, like a Kanye West CD for Arch Nemesis Day and a rave CD for Orange and White Day. “It’s senior year and I wanted to have fun. I just went nuts and lost my mind,” Townsend said.

n CLAP YOUR HANDS. In her role as mascot, senior Mackenzie Sexton cheers on the football team. “[My favorite part about being mascot is] being able to show my school spirit and my love for Boone, and looking like a fool when people can’t really judge me [because it’s what I’m supposed to do],” Sexton said. Sexton used her background in dance to help fulfill the cheering requirements. n GET LOUD. At the end of a Senior Snake, Kailee Kovacs participates in a cheer. “I think [students] should show school spirit because this is [their] only chance to be in high school,” Kovacs said.

BAG Wild accessories, quirky bags and antique shoes dotted the campus with students expressing their personalities. From Jansport or Element backpacks to Coach or Ecko red purses, students expressed their diversity with their bags and what was in them. For junior Laura Gavern, there was a place for everything and everything was in its place in her light blue Jansport backpack. “I know where everything is. All the stuff I need is in my front pocket,” Gavern said. “I just like backpacks better than purses and bags.” The neatness of her bag reflected Gavern’s organized personality. Sophomore Tanner Barley’s backpack also reflected his personality and interests. “I like corduroy, I like Jansport and I like small things,” Barley said. “I have had [my bag] since freshman year because we have bonded and I love it. It keeps everything compact.” Organization was an important essential for students, but so was the need to keep things small and compact. “[My bag] is small so I don’t have to put a lot of stuff in there. I like to keep things simple,” senior Peter Anthony said. “I don’t keep a lot of stuff in there like papers because they can’t fit. [I carry] a pen because I have to get good grades.” Not only were bags necessary to succeed in school, they were also essential for lunch and sports because of the added equipment students had to carry. “[I bring a lunch] because I don’t want to stand in line. I bring a sandwich, Gatorade and trail mix,” junior Robert Shaffer said. With the 48 sports teams on campus, students lugging sports bags along with their equipment was a common sight. “[My soccer bag is necessary] because it holds all of my shoes, shinguards and warm-ups. It’s cool because it makes us look well put together and organized on the field, ” junior Kayla Mackey said. n EMILY NUSBICKEL

“This one goes out to all of my haters in the building.” A brief pause elapsed on center stage as senior Clay Townsend opened the children’s book Play Me a Song! to the mini-piano on the back. Donned in a black business suit, he began pecking at the piano and singing the nursery rhyme, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,” without cracking a smile. Contagious laughter erupted from the crowd as Townsend droned through the song, stood up and walked off the stage of the 26th annual Brave Aid. “I was nervous for the piano part because I hadn’t practiced at all and I was up there by myself. I didn’t know what the crowd’s reaction would be, but it turned out well,” Townsend said. Townsend’s act added to a night full of entertainment at the annual talent show. Townsend and an impromptu group of other senior boys, including Kyle Jones, Nicholas Hall and Wesley Caplan, stormed the stage between acts to lighten

the atmosphere and keep the show moving with parodies of other Brave Aid performances. Rogue performances included Townsend’s nursery rhyme song, a Bravettes rendition, a dance battle with the Studio One Young Beast Society, a rock performance by “Dirty Mike and the Boys” and a Blue Man Group dance and drum routine. “[The most fun act] was the dance off,” Townsend said. “We straight up whooped them.” These hilarious mini-performances helped keep the show up-beat and entertaining while complimenting the more traditional and equally entertaining acts of the evening. For example, a duo of juniors, Ryan Reyes and Angel Lozada, performed an acoustic cover of the song “More Than Words” by Extreme. “The hardest thing was getting the nerve to audition and perform,” Reyes said. “I remembered some advice that Tayler [Buono] had given me: to

pretend that I was a rock star when I went up there. It took all of the nerves away.” Performers also showed their creative flair in out-of-the-box acts like the Orange Man Group, an original twist of the popular entertainment show, The Blue Man Group. The trio played a score on homemade instruments built from PVC pipes and super glue, and were later joined by a band of hidden musicians behind the curtains. “[The performance] was exhilarating,” senior John Arevalo said. “It was the first time we got everything to work perfectly.” While the acts entertained the audience, Brave Aid was also a successful fund raiser, donating $5,000 to the American Cancer Society. “I was surprised with how talented all of the performances were.

I love my baby but [you should] think about your decisions beforehand,” senior Crystal Hernandez said.

She sat on the cold examination table in the doctor’s office feeling closed in by the four white walls surrounding her. She held the pregnancy test in her shaking hand, looking at it again and again, hoping that she had read it wrong. Thoughts and worries raced through her head, thinking how her life had changed. Not knowing what path she was going to take or how she was going to take care of a baby, she collected herself and got ready to face her parents and the consequences that were ahead of her. Samantha Rolfe found out she was pregnant her sophomore year of high school and gave birth at the age of 16 to her daughter, Jaylen Nelson, in November of her junior year. According to soundvision.com, nearly 2,800 teen girls experience a similar situation everyday. Rolfe, now a senior, was just one whose life was changed by having an unplanned pregnancy. “[When I found out Samantha was pregnant] it felt the same as losing someone. There was disappointment and anxiety. It’s the last thing you want for your teen. I didn’t turn joyful until everything became real [with] the doctors appointments and hearing the baby’s heartbeat. You turn it around and say it doesn’t mean she has to drop out [of school] and quit [everything],” Tanya Rolfe, Samantha’s mother, said. Eric Nelson, the baby’s father was shocked when he found out of S. Rolfe’s pregnancy. He wasn’t happy at first, but came to accept that he would be a father. The news of Samantha’s pregnancy was not as overwhelming to Nelson’s parents because they went through the same situation at a young age. “[The biggest challenge with Jaylen was] trying to put her before myself. Now I worry about her. She comes first,” Nelson said. “I don’t have all the free time I used to with friends. I don’t have freedom career wise because I have to stay [in Orlando] and pay for things like diapers, daycare, food, clothes and necessities.” Each month the different necessities added up to make a large financial impact. Diapers cost $100, daycare was $75 and food was $200 a month. S. Rolfe had a cheaper daycare because she went to school at The Beta Center during her pregnancy. Being surrounded by new responsibilities, S. Rolfe struggled with the aspects of child care and motherhood when Jaylen arrived. A few of the hardships S. Rolfe faced were money and time.

“[We had to] make adjustments to the house and accept reality. Everyone had to pitch in. It takes a village to raise a child. I really put everything on Sam. She has the responsibility but I do what I have to,” T. Rolfe said. Contrary to the pregnancies of other teens, Rolfe did not experience difficulties throughout the nine months of her pregnancy, but difficulty came during labor. S. Rolfe was in labor for eight hours before the doctor saw Jaylen was face up with her head pushing against S. Rolfe’s pelvic bone. This would not allow S. Rolfe to have a natural birth, she had to have an emergency cesarean section which made her worry more about Jaylen’s safety. “I was scared for Jaylen’s life because she was a cesarean, but there was nothing I could do,” S. Rolfe said. “I was thinking I wanted an epidermal. I got it and slept. It seemed real then that I wasn’t going to be pregnant; there was going to be a baby now,” S. Rolfe said. Nelson accompanied S. Rolfe to the hospital to be present for the birth of their child and for emotional support. “[When I first saw Jaylen I thought] ‘wow she has a lot of hair’, and that ‘she is beautiful’,” Nelson said. S. Rolfe had similar thoughts about Jaylen after her birth. “You have your own special love for this special person, and [the way] she loves you back. She is my bundle of joy; I can’t explain it, I just love her,” S. Rolfe said. Jaylen’s birth brought everyone together to help S. Rolfe and Nelson through their difficult time and situation. Although S. Rolfe and Nelson were together, they lived in separate houses and took turns caring for Jaylen. A difficulty S. Rolfe had with Jaylen was that she and Nelson had all of the responsibility on their shoulders. Nelson worked full time to pay for different necessities and S. Rolfe made sure Jaylen was taken care of properly. When S. Rolfe got home everyday, she did not do homework at first, like most teenagers, but instead had to feed and play with Jaylen. “[The biggest challenge is] Sam learning how to be the mom and not lecturing [her about it] and [being able to] teach her responsibilities. Space is another challenge. It’s a three bedroom house and Sam has to share now,” T. Rolfe said. According to Guttmacher Institute, seven percent of women aged 15–44 are at risk for unintended pregnancy, and do not use contraceptives. “Pregnancy is 100 percent preventable; be smart and be safe because a lot of people don’t have the support system [I had]. It’s not like getting a puppy,” S. Rolfe said. n STEPHANIE NEBEKER AND CHANNA HARRINGTON
