2015-16 Yearbook Portfolio

Self analytical Essay Throughout both semesters of being in yearbook, I have learned A LOT. I have learned about myself, other people, teamwork, and grammar/writing skills. All of which will help me in the future. For starters, I learned a lot of my own strengths and weaknesses. I have come to terms with the fact that I am a huge procrastinator, like, huge. Until this year, I knew it, but it never really bothered me. Since I always knew it would get done one way or another. But, joining Yearbook really hit me hard. On our first deadline night, my procrastination really came back and bit me in the butt. I had a mod due on a motivated football player, which I somewhat started. But, we had no picture of the specific guy that I did the mod on. So, basically I had to go out in the rain and take pictures of this kid until I knew for sure that I had a usable one. Boy, was my team leader mad. Ever since then, I have really tried to do things before the night they are actually due. Next, I have learned a lot about other people, and how I work with them. To me, teamwork has come pretty easy. I am a fairly easy going person, and usually do what is asked of me. And usually I see the same from other people. But, this semester I have learned that I guess that is not always true. During our first late night, I really experienced the mean side of myself and others. My team leader was really stressing (because of my procrastination) and these other people were just messing around, and having the time of their lives. Mia was mad! I have never seen someone so feisty before. I get it from her standpoint. To be honest, I got irritated with the other team also. Yearbook is all about teamwork. Even though it was not their page, I think they could have stepped up and at least tried to help. Just like I did with Kim, and Sadie’s pages. Which I will get into in later sections. And lastly, I learned a lot about grammar skills. First was in the beginning of the year, when Adamson gave his whole presentation on it. And then another time when Ashton tore into one of my stores. Never again will I forgot to put a comma in my quotations. Second semester I learned a little more with sales, during Palooza. We learned how to budget games since my team was in charge of that. Also, it was amazing to see the book finally finished. I know I struggled with procrastination, but it was amazing to see the club pages and my mods and stories on the big screen.

Refection One

What I believe to be my most significant piece of work, outside of photography, was my main story on Antonio Marchica, and Brianne Kunkel. At first, the story was just going to be about Project Unified, but then it evolved into a deeper piece. If Antonio never brought Reece onto the field with him on senior night, it would have been a different story. It all started with Brianne’s post on Instagram. While reading it, I actually teared up. And while crying about Antonio’s bravery, I thought to myself that it would make a really good angle for my Unified story. Then, a few weeks later Mia showed me Antonio’s twitter post. It was an essay he wrote describing that night. And I thought to myself, even better. I had both of their perspectives on that night. Writing it was little rough because well one, I have never wrote a main story before, and two I had so many ideas but I had no idea on how to put them on paper. Ever since writing it, I learned a lot about writing a main story. Like the introduction, and that everything should be in a separate paragraph, and even though I did not incorporate it, pyramid writing. What I like most about the piece is that it shows both Antonio’s, and Brianne’s feelings about the night. Since it was for deadline two, and we have not gotten proofs back, it’s hard to tell how much Ashton is going to hate it. But I am really proud of how the ideas in my head actually came out on paper. This has not changed during the second semester because the piece really speaks to me. I know in the journalism world, everything you write about or do you should feel passionate about, and I have always tried my best with that. But this story, I really connected with. All three people in the story are amazing people, and I am proud to put their experiences in a book that lasts a lifetime.

Reflection Two

Reflection Three

The piece that I believe could still use work is my Jazz Band mod. In my defense, it was an old team members of mine that was handed off to me when she left. What happened was she had already done (or at least we thought) her interviews and taken pictures, I just needed to put the pieces together, and that was not the case. Nothing was done and we kind of found that out last second. So I needed to take pictures, do interviews, get quotes, write everything, and all of that jazz. And on top of that, since we lost a member, I had five mods and one main story due. So I had a lot on my plate. First, we were going to do a recipe for Jazz, but it was really lame. So we just ended up doing a photo mod with just a bunch of quotes. I does not look too bad, but it could have been a whole lot better. From first semester to second, this has not changed one bit. Other than the pictures I took for this mod, I am utterly embarrassed to see it in the finished book. It has not changed because I actually completely learned from this experience of heartache to be a do it yourself kind of person, and not fully wait until last minute to finish things.

I know this does not sound very modest of me, but it is really hard for me to choose which picture I like the best that I took this year. Yearbook has really helped me expand with my photography skills. But, I am going to say my Rachelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Challenge picture. I think the picture is pretty moving. It is really up close, and shows a lot of emotion. She has one small tear dripping down her face while watching the speaker talk about lost loved ones. You can tell she is engaged in whatever she is looking at. For being fairly up close, it does follow the rule of thirds, because she is in the far left of the frame. Also, she is a little framed with the bleachers at the bottom on the photograph. And, ironically her name is Rachel. This will be my all time favorite photograph. Now that the book is out, and seeing it as the dominate photo on the spread, is so amazing to me. I have actually heard people talking about it, and it made me really proud.

Reflection Four

Reflection Five

I feel as if I were an asset to this yearbook staff in many ways. For one, I have been asked to take pictures for people's spreads quite a lot. The three that stand out to me are Sadie’s, Emma’s, and Kim’s spreads. Sadie asked me to take pictures of thee Rachel’s challenge assembly. On that spread, 90 percent of my pictures are being used. And she also needed pictures of the Orlando trip, so I took a few there also. Next, Emma is usually a lot of my swim and dive photos. And last, Kim needed pictures of Floyd the Falcon, and people setting up for homecoming. So I did just that for her. In addition to photographs, I feel as if I were an asset to the team on deadline nights. One because I brought food and also because I helped others. On late night two I helped Julia B., and Chris make info graphics for their pages. Also, on late night two Mia and I were there until midnight finishing up things. During second semester, I was an asset for about the same reasons. I know my team always waited until last minute to do things, and we usually always stayed the latest, but we were always the first ones to be checked off for submissions. Whereas other teams, Maddie and Alysa were working on pages from dead line one on a deadline four late night.

The biggest problem I faced this semester was procrastination. I really am horrible at doing things on time. From this, I have learned it is essential to get things done before a late night, or just before a due date in general. I feel as if I did handle the first and second late night very well, considering I got everything basically done. Procrastinating is also my biggest weakness. To overcome this, I have gotten an agenda and laid out all yearbook dates. Along with other assignments. I also have told myself that self-motivation is all I need. Yearbook will definitely help me with life after high school. During second semester, this did not change in anyway. I still waited until last second, but I still hope to work on it. This semester I waited last second to do a tennis mod. So literally that late night, I wrote it, and took pictures all in one night. I did not handle it too poorly, but I could have probably handled it better.

Reflection Six My greatest weakness publication wise is probably being horrible with InDesign. This weakness leads into a lot of other issues. Because I am literally so insecure, and hate the program so much, I waited until last second to do the project I was supposed to do. (Or even do it at all). For example, I did not do my theme project because I literally got so frustrated with the stupid program that I just stopped working on it. To overcome it, I just sucked it up and practiced a little bit more doing this assignment. Plus, I needed the extra hundred points.

JACQUELINEBENSON

HOW DO YOU GUYS PLAN TO MAKE NEHS MORE INTERACTIVE? We are trying to get the members more interested, because last year all we kind of did was pay for the cords. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO FOR NEHS? We want to make it less serious. A lot of people think we sit around and read books all day. We don’t. WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO DO ALL OF THIS? English is my favorite class, so it is fun for me to be around people that feel the same way. And being a president, I know I can help in some way.

AS HER HORSE GALLOPS around the barrels, junior Megan Boyd grips the reins tightly to remain in control. Boyd has been riding horses her whole life but has only started riding competitively for four years. In the past four years, she has received cash prizes, along with two buckles for excellence, and she qualified for a world championship on her old horse, Hershey. “It sounds really prestigious but it’s not really that cool,” said Boyd. “I was in the second division which is basically a group of the people who never win.” While she is modest, not many people can follow through with such a hobby as Boyd’s, due to fear of injury. “Any time a horse slips or falls in a performance, I hate that because you have no control,” said Boyd. Even though Boyd has been bucked off her horses, Ace and Squirrel, a handful of times and gotten her fair share of bumps and bruises, she still pursues horseback riding with a passion. “After going to a couple rodeos in elementary school I decided I wanted to be a cowgirl when I grew up,” said Boyd. Boyd did not simply share that childhood dream with many other girls; she still chases after that goal today. “I am motivated to continue by wanting to make a career out of rodeo or getting a college scholarship,” she said. As for short term goals, Boyd hopes to make it to the high school national finals rodeo before graduating. story by mia valenza

AMY ABEL

HOW DO YOU GUYS PLAN TO MAKE NEHS MORE INTERACTIVE? We want to do more community service and volunteer work as a group. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO FOR NEHS? We really want to make it a fun environment. WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO DO ALL OF THIS? Mrs. Metcalf. She is queen.

MORE THAN A CLUB

SHOW ME THE LOVE

PROJECT UNIFIED brings purpose and passion to students lives

EXAMPLES of teacher appreciation expressed by students as prompted by history teacher Geoff Johnson

“WHEN I WAS BORN, I should have had a severe disability or died. The nurses called me an angel,” said Project Unified club president Brianne Kunkel. She first got involved in Best Buddies (now known as Project Unified) in her sophomore year. Kunkel, now a junior, joined Unified as a way to help others -- instead, they helped her. “Starting in middle school, I became depressed. I didn’t know my purpose in life,” said Kunkel. Although Kunkel occupied her time with volleyball, she did not feel as though it was enough. She prayed for a sign for something to change her life. Her prayer was answered when she blew out her ankle during a freshman volleyball camp. Because of that, she joined the Unified Adaptive P.E class, where she met Jace Mayer. Kunkel was amazed by how happy he was, and how comfortable he was in his own body. “If Jace can love his body when it can’t do half the things mine can, then why can’t I love mine?” Kunkel thought. “I do it all because of Jace.” A similar thing happened to Marchica. “[Joining the Adaptive P.E class] changed my life by opening my eyes to a whole new viewpoint,” Marchica said. He joined Project Unified this year, and has learned a lot from his experience. As a senior varsity captain, Marchica thought he knew all there was about playing football, he soon found out he was incorrect. The day before the first game, Coach Michael Hudnutt brought in a motivational speaker to talk to the players. The speaker asked, “Who do you play for?” Marchica found himself puzzled, and slightly embarrassed. He realized he did not have an answer. Weeks later, during senior night, the question still lingered in the back of his mind. As Marchica was called to the coin toss, the answer grabbed his hand. The answer was Reece Parfet. When Marchica did not have time to explain that Parfet had to stay behind, he brought him on the field. Marchica proudly introduced Parfet to the opposing team as their fifth captain. Marchica finally went home with his answer to the long held question. “I play for Reece.” story by julia diede

Geoff Johnson: “He’s probably one of the most inspiring teachers I’ve ever had. He makes it known to his students that he cares about more than just you as a student. He cares about you as a person.” Augustin Angeli: “I learned more in his class than like I ever have about math. He made math one of my easier subjects now, that’s why I am doing really well now. Even though he wasn’t there that long, he made a really big impact. He was really positive even when he had a sickness.”

Doni Nasr: “She develops a lot of relationships with her students, and she really cares for them. She was honestly there for me last year when I was going through some stuff.”

Molly Gum: “For speech everyday I would wake up and look forward to going to her class. Her environment that she makes is like so open, and I feel like she makes such an impact on everyone’s life because she understands what people are going through.” Lori Hart: “She helped me find my passion for what I want to for the rest of my life. This weekend she texted me saying thanks for all your help, and that really touched me. No teachers have ever went

REBELS with a cause – junior varsity baseball players take chances on and off the field STEALING BASES AND GETTING CAUGHT in pickles may seem like the most daring part of baseball, but to the players on the varsity team, there are worse things. From an observer’s point of view, players should be worried about rolling ankles, stray balls, and concussions. However, a look behind the scenes shows that the players are more concerned with the aftermath of disobeying their coaches. “Eating in the dugout is really dangerous,” said senior and second-year varsity pitch runner Richard Walker. There is obvious horseplay that goes on behind the scenes with the baseball players, but food is a strict pet peeve for the coaches. Additionally, head coach Gaetano Gianni has a special pet peeve of his own. “I went to photograph tryouts and the assistant coach told me that Gianni would kill me if I was on the grass too much,” said senior and newspaper editor Rees Bixler. Throughout the season, many of the players deliberately push the coaches’ buttons to get a chuckle. “Oh! Picking the grass is a big one. We are not supposed to pick at the grass but everyone does it,” said senior pitcher Jacob Horn. “This is my first year on varsity and it’s funny seeing everyone messing with the coaches,” said senior pitcher Frankie Caloroso. As the season progresses and the players get more comfortable, the shenanigans also escalate. Every day of practice brings with it new humorous antics and the players continue to test their coaches’ limits. story by mia valenza

TURBULENT TENNIS TECHNIQUES

1 AT THEIR FIRS

Sprinting up and down fields, the tired players push to finish not only the game, but the day. With a combination of both defensive and offensive players, the varsity girl’s soccer team and its athletes represent the school in more ways than one.

“The best thing about soccer is that it’s not like football where the coach tells you to make plays. You create them as you go, so you don’t have to follow any strict rules,” said Sandra Baker, a senior. But while there are good moments, there are bound to be a few bad ones as well. “I’ve been yellow-carded because I was too close to the ball and stalling time,” said Carmen Brown, a senior. “I like to play offensively because there is a lot less responsibility than when I play defensively,” said Brown.

“It is a really big mental game where you have to get into your opponent’s head…” said Alex Nieminen, a senior. “You have to have some sort of really good mentality and you can’t beat yourself up after a mistake.” She has been playing since she was four, and discusses the terminology behind the sport and what techniques to use, given the circumstances. “The topspin kind of lobs the ball over your opponent’s head and backspin could be used when you’re slicing,” said Nieminen. “There’s a lot of stuff you can do. With doubles, there is a strategy called poaching, where whoever is serving, the person at the net will have a signal for whatever strategy you’re going to use,” said Christina Paluscio, a senior. “I try really hard not to get to my own head because as the point drags on, you don’t want to jinx yourself and try to end too quickly and missing their opportunity… I let my opponent make the mistakes,” said Paluscio. The key to winning is to keep calm and be patient during the match and to not become overconfident. “The rule of tennis is to hit where your opponent isn’t, and I think the main thing is to vary your shots,” said Maya Glicksman, a senior. Glicksman advises not to keep the same shot and to switch up the shots so your opponent does not become too comfortable. “When you and your opponent are at the net, volleying back and forth, you just have to go for it and make your move,” said Glicksman.

Down in the Deep Blue Sea

Loving whales, Julia Diede, a junior found her passion in marine biology and is willing to do whatever it takes to do what she loves. Showing extreme intrest in the Sea, Diede plans on attending college in Hawaii.

Julia Diede, a junior, has known what she has wanted to do since she was two years old. “One night, when watching free willy, she looked at me and said ‘’mommy that’s what I want to do, I wanna train shamu’” her mother, Lisa Garvey recalls. For Diede, training shamu has now evolved into being a marine biologist. “I am extremely passionate about the ocean. And I know it’s really weird for being a native from Arizona, but it such an amazing thing.” Julia said “we know more about space, then we do the ocean. I think that is just insane considering space is technically infinite, and the ocean is tangible and here”. Diede is a certified scuba diver, and the first time she ever went diving sparked her passion for the ocean even more. “The first time I ever went diving was in Roatan, Honduras with my dad. It was the most terrifying, yet exciting thing I have ever experienced,” Diede shares “I love all aquatic life, but when I was down there I was following this tiny little fish with huge eyes and even bigger eyelashes, when I felt my dad jerk on my arm to get my attention.

I look up, and I see a huge manta ray. I mean huge is an understatement. It was the most humbling experience of my life.” Diede says that from seeing the ocean first hand, it really helped push her in the direction of marine biology. To reach the goal of hers, Julia has two main colleges in mind, university of Hawaii at Hilo, and eckerd college in Florida, along with joining the navy fresh out of high school. “My main plan is to join the Navy for the standard five years, along with going to college around the same time. I am starting P.T next year for the navy. For colleges, Hawaii is definitely my main choice, because it is obviously gorgeous, but the program that they have is apparently amazing.” Julia explains She does have some worries though. “I am a total homebody, my mom is like my best friend. To leave her and my dad, to be a complete ocean away, is going to be extremely hard. That’s what I am looking into Eckerd college as well since it is a little bit closer.” Julia will be applying to both colleges in September of next year, and hopes to get accepted.

RoaTAN, Honduras

On January 4, 2017 Julia Diede, a junior, left to Roatan Honduras. “It was the most amazing experience of my life,” Diede says. On the trip, the Diede went scuba diving, ate a 3 lot of different foods, went walking on the beach at night to find weird creatures, went paddle boarding, and zip lining with monkeys. “The whole trip was fantastic. My family and I felt so close the whole time,” Diede says. Diede hopes to go back next year. 1) Sand in betweetn the toes. Julia Diede, Sage Garvey, and Lisa Garvey soak up the sun in Honduras. “It was right after my first dive, so my dad was telling my emotional mother how well I did.” 2) Julia Diede holds a momma and babky monkey holding the mom’s hand 3) Barney, the parriot rest on Julia Diede’s shoulder.

Sharing her experience, Julia Diede a junior shares how her dad is actually her step dad. “My dad is my best friend,” Diede says “he has been in my life longer than I can remember. He has been there for me

more than my real dad.” Diede and her dad show their love for each other with their funny selfies together

Hot mess

Julia Diede enjoys braiding her hair, but there always comes problems with that. “I rarely have a mirror so i always have to take pictures from really weird angles,” Diede says.
