Abigail Parratto Cover Letter

112 Maple Creek Way, Maple Isle Jupiter, FL 33458 561-801-5538 abicakesxo@gmail.com May 19, 2015 Dear Steve Moore, As a graduating student from Bak Middle School of the Arts, my skills in journalism have improved greatly throughout my three years of instruction from several teachers. Being accepted into Dreyfoos, I would like to apply my interest and dedication in journalism to the Markee. Being the Copy Editor, and most previously the Assistant Editor in Chief of the Bak Middle School of the Arts yearbook, I have first-hand experienced going out of my way to stay after school and cover other classes in order to provide my full attention to my position in the yearbook. Not only this, but my raw curiosity and attention in creating the yearbook pushes me to want to learn more and experience more in journalism. This started in sixth grade, when I had creative writing for the second semester of the year and had a chance to practice and apply my writing to prompts. Towards the end of the year, yearbook and newspaper applications were sitting directly on the table in front of me, and for an experience to do what I love, both taking pictures and writing, I chose the yearbook form. My excitement after being accepted onto the yearbook staff for seventh grade was incredible, and it would be hard to even begin to find words to explain how much I have grown since my acceptance. I appreciate you considering me for a position in the Markee Yearbook, and I hope that we can arrange a face-to-face interview for me to elaborate on my experience and passion for journalism. I hope to hear from you about this topic soon. Thank you for the opportunity, Abigail Parratto

Resume and Self Analytical Evaluation

I am applying for this position with the goal to bring dedication, work ethic, and enthusiasm to this position. I completed six years at the A-ranked elementary school Jerry Thomas Elementary School and are close to completing three years at Bak Middle School of the Arts, earning no grade lower than an extremely high c on my report card throughout. I received honor roll almost every quarter, excluding one where I earned a 79 in World History in sixth grade. For the past two years, I have put my heart and time into completing two masterpiece yearbooks; the first year serving as the Arts and Academics and Clubs and Organizations Editor and the second serving as the Assistant Editor in Chief and Copy Editor. In my first year on the yearbook staff, I won a Walsworth honorable mention photography award for a photo I took on the math spread. Not only this, but this previous year I earned a superior in the Yearbook Copy category and an excellent in the Yearbook DPS category from the Journalism Education Association. I have accomplished so many achievements through my years of education, and hope to continue growing that experience in the years coming. In fifth grade, my media center teacher chose my friend and I to work on the morning announcements because of our shared interest in reading. After hearing this was a incorporated in a major in the arts middle school Bak, I was inspired to audition. This lead me to try out for Bak, establishing and progressing my love for journalism. In my three years at Bak, I learned more than ever could have imagined four years ago, not only in journalism but communications as well. I learned how to properly interview, how to work productively to meet deadlines, ways to work well and productively with friends, photography and design rules, how to use InDesign and Photoshop properly, and much, much more that I use daily and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what I would do without in my other academic classes. Yearbook has not only taught me about journalism and communications, but I met some of the best people I have ever met in my entire life and my best friends that I will carry into high school, and even maybe my choice carrier.

Several days post going to the Maltz Jupiter Theatre to cover their recent play, Through the Looking Glass, I was sitting on the second computer to the left on the short row of computers in the lab, as usual. Eighth period had just started, and I finally had collected all the interviews of the cast members attending Bak who performed in the show, so I was prepared to start the copy, but I couldn’t get in the right mind-set. I got the copy going the way I usually did, by describing the picture in as much detail as I could and then taking out the fluff. I found that, after this, I worked my way around my writers block into a wonderland. I wrote the entire copy in one class, with only one revision until it was signed off. The copy was definitely the best I have written and my most significant piece of work for the publication this year. My first draft of the copy was very similar to my final; the only difference was a few copy-editing fixes and little tweaks in the layout of the opening paragraph. In the beginning, it was hard to start, but once I got started, I became focused and new ideas continuously popped up in my head. I knew as soon as I finished the first draft that it would be one of my best works of copy, but my final product certainly made the two nights watching and capturing Through the Looking Glass worth it.

When Deadline Three had just started and I was covering the first softball game of the season, I glanced down at a bucket of softballs while the team was warming up for the game. I thought of the softball spread last year, where we used one photo as the background for the spread and layered transparent boxes behind text and photos on top. I realized that I could apply that idea to the spread this year. I proceeded to tell the rest of the staff members on that spread my idea the next day. We used my idea, and it made the spread much more interesting, but it did look a bit busy. I see now that we could have used less opacity on the background photo or lessened the amount of photo packages on the spread. I learned that sometimes less is more, but I still am extremely proud of how the finished product turned out.

The team’s motivation, confidence, hardwork drives them to succeed.

My favorite position skidded across is pitcher though, even home base, landing on though I never got to play the farther edge.

a Good Day” number. Being part of a performance outside of school was something that not every theater major had the chance to do. “It was an awesome experience. I’ve auditioned at the Maltz before and this was the first show I was casted in. I usually do community theater, so to be a part of a professional production was really nice,” Kaye said. Through the three showings of “Through the Looking Glass” over a course of a day, the cast bonded. Not only did the range of 8-17 year old children hang out in the several practices a week, but also became closer outside of the production. “We’ve done the show for three years, so we’ve been like a family since we were little. We get together once a month; they’ve made me a better person,” Sramowicz said. The cast was not the only thing that differentiated “Through the Looking Glass” from other productions they had done. The Maltz Jupiter Theater was a professional theater, which was much different than starring in a community theater. “This was my first professional show. The level of professionalism on stage and back stage was much higher than community theater productions because we actually had professionals doing their craft, such as designers or lighting,” Kaye said. After all the shows were over, the cast got together to celebrate a successful performance. Sramowicz said, “I went to a cast party where we had ice cream, pizza, and a dance party. It felt good to do and finish a show.” by Abigail Parratto and Michael Bole

HUDDLE UP Huddled on the pitcher’s mound, Alyssa Foglia (7) her team, and their coach go over their mistakes. “She is a very good leader. I feel like she’s able to boost our confidence and knows what we can work on,” Foglia said, regarding her coach. Whenever Foglia needed a pep talk, she could always count on her team.

THROWING THE CURVE Throwing the perfect pitch, Natalie Rodriguez (8) already knew this would have been the perfect throw. “I can throw a fastball, change up, screw ball, curve ball, rise curve ball, rise ball, drop curve, drop screw,” Rodriguez said. For over six years, Rodriguez has been playing softball. Photo by Finnley Senese

The first photo I chose I took in Mrs. Ellrichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth period math class, and I have been proud of taking it since I saw it on the camera roll of the Canon I used. I am proud of this picture because it shows interaction and emotion between a student and the teacher. Abi_01_Math.jpg

The second photo I chose was my favorite action photo I took at the first softball game of the season. I am proud of this picture because it shows a live action shot from one of the most intense situations of the game, when a low line drive was hit to third and fielded without flaw right to the first basemen, getting the runner out. This photo attracts the viewer with the action and movement of the infielder. Softball01_Abi.jpg

The third photo I chose I stayed after school for several hours to take; after I arranged to stay after school to cover the cheer team rehearsing for the winter pep rally. I am proud of this picture because the leading lines create a visual interest and repetition. Abi_01.jpg

I was an asset to this staff and this edition of the yearbook because I took photos for Strings, Fall Thriller, Math, Keyboard, People Section Divider, Girls’ Softball, Cheerleading, Maltz Theater Showstopper, Boys’ Soccer, and Girls’ Soccer. Not only this, but I wrote captions for Fashion and Trends, Fall Thriller, Maltz Theater Showstopper, Math, Forensics, and Cheerleading. Additionally, I assisted in writing Maltz Theater Showstopper, Girls’ Softball, Boys’ Soccer, Forensics, and Cheerleading copy. I stayed after school to cover Girls’ Softball, Cheerleading, Boys’ Soccer, and Girls’ Soccer. I stayed several hours at the Maltz Jupiter Theater after school covering “Through the Looking Glass”, cutting into my personal time as well. Likewise, I missed more than a few dance classes to take pictures and interview for yearbook spreads, which pushed me behind in dances that I had to catch up to.

This year I faced much less problems and hardships than I have in previous years. I worked much more diligently with the staff members on my spreads and stayed after school to take photos, finding the photo results were worth it in the end. Although, the biggest problem I had was staying after school. I take four dance classes a week; one class on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and covering games and clubs cut into the time I was dancing after school, which angered my teachers and my parents for wasting money on missing classes. I learned to sign up for covering games and clubs on days I have a more loose schedule, like on Thursday when my dance class is from 6:30 to 7:30 instead of 4:30 to 5:30 or Mondays, when I don’t have dance at all. I ended up going to all the games I was assigned to, but having to miss dance almost every time. I stuck to my word and stayed after school several times, and, in the end, I came out with some of my best photos and copy/captions.

he spikes of the black Nike cleats dug into the white, powered line leading to the polyester ball placed directly in front of the sprinting offender. The Bak offender dove left, blocking the over-thrown ball from flying much past his foot. Whipping around, he nudged the inside corner of his right foot aggressively into the calf on an opposing team’s player. The referee squinted at the conflicting team’s soccer player, trying to decide whether to call a foul. He played it back, and remembered the spikes of the black Nike cleats extending towards another player from the other team’s ankle a split second before the Bak player’s foot reached the ball. “I joined the team because I played soccer my whole life and want to continue. I was inspired by my brother; he was on the team in eighth grade. What I bring to the team is heart, energy, and teamwork,” Lucas Coelho (8) vocal major said. No matter why the players joined the soccer team, they all bonded to sustain their rising reputation in the school soccer league. With the status of winning champions for several years in a row, the team knew they had to work hard against other competing teams. “Our teams greatest strength is working together and strong offense, but our biggest challenge is foot work and communication between team members,” Blake Weger (8) communications major said. A sharp whistle noise pieced the air surrounding the field and the offender let out a breath of anticipation as the other team got a penalty kick. The accused player struggled to play-back what had happened the past few minutes, but he knew that he had to be focused on what was happening in the moment. by Abigail Parratto

Students work to keep the planet clean

very year, every month, every Thursday, the Green Team rolled out the big bins, and went around the school and collected all the recycling. Green Team was an organization in which students helped the environment by recycling, and they gained volunteer hours while doing it. “I like Green Team because I have a lot of friends in it, and it makes it a lot of fun. We do stuff like making bottle cap bracelets, and gardening,” Aarthi Allady visual major (7) said. They also did more than just school cleanups, and many did things outside of school. “I like doing things like beach cleanups. Green Team made me realize that any small thing could make a difference. Even things like picking up some litter,” Samuel Hahn communications major (7) said. Green Team gave children new experiences and gave them a whole new look at the environment. It showed students how easy and fun recycling can be, and the positive impact it had. It helped students make new friendships, all while helping the planet at the same time. by Subhash Kantamneni

The two day Jr. ITS District Festival was moments from beginning, and students wanted to do their best to potentially move on to states. “My favorite [thing] about the festival was being surrounded by my favorite people and it was a big group of all my theater friends. We felt like a family,” Simone Kaye theater major (8) said. “There were people who graduated last year and came back and volunteered at the festival. It was a really good feeling to see them again.” Bak’s Jr. ITS troop won best in show for ensemble acting and improv. There were 12 one act plays that were going to be chosen to go to states; Baks’ one act play “Us and Them” directed by Sandra Tepper was one of the 12 selected. Even though not everyone won, there were plenty of thespians who got ranked superior. “My friend Juliet Perel (8) got ranked superior on her solo and my other friend Jada Johnson (8) got ranked superior on her monologue which made us really happy,” Kaye said. Not everyone could win, but no matter what, Jr. ITS was a family. by Michael Bole

he cheerleader, outfitted with a royal blue and gray Bak uniform steadied herself on the four pairs of hands resting under her feet. They extended their arms, throwing the girl into the air in a stunt that would be performed at the following pep rally. “My favorite part of cheer is the stumbling and tumbling because at first it’s really hard, but then it is exciting,” Hayley Alfonso communications major (7) said. Cheer was not only an athletic form of entertainment for the several school pep rallies, but also a club that taught teamwork and community service. Grace Moderwell dance major (7) said, “My favorite thing about cheerleading would be that this year we are doing more community service; we’re getting out there and supporting the school.” by Abigail Parratto

It was originally going to be a dragon, but I messed up and saw it from a different perspective, so I changed it into a house,” D’Angelo Pena vocal major (7) said. Although ceramics was a new class for some students, the aspect of creating ceramics was familiar to others. “I am now familiar with the tools and the ways of ceramic making,” Gabrielle Howard theater major (8) said.
