Life was all about stepping out of comfort zones, according to senior Alexis Stevens-Drake. After battling through her junior year academic stress and losing friends, Stevens-Drake realized that being shy wouldn’t get her far. “If you don’t [step out of your comfort zone], you won’t get anywhere or get what you want,” Stevens-Drake said. Stevens-Drake also learned to be true to herself throughout her years in high school. She found new ways to grow and evolve her character. “In middle school I always wanted to be like everyone else; I wanted to fit in as much as I could,” Stevens-Drake said. “Now it’s not about that. I just want to be happy. I want to strive to be better for myself, instead of others.” Getting a tattoo in honor of her grandmother, changing her hair color, and acquiring an individual and unique style were some of the ways Stevens-Drake choose to express herself. “I switch up my hair color as much as I can. I like to experiment to see what color will look best with different outfits,” Stevens-Drake said. “I also get inspiration from my mom. She lived through the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s, so I look at old pictures of her and draw inspiration from those.”

P
hones were ringing left and right. Canvassers knocked on people’s brown wooden doors in hopes that the owner would not slam it on their faces. Campaign posters were seen in millions of grassy yards across the nation. All of this was leading up to the 2016 election, and for senior Brena Levy, that meant taking a fellowship with the Hillary Clinton Campaign. “I’m from the Democratic candidates office, do you have a moment to talk to me about the upcoming election?” Levy sat at a long table shared with eight other people. The Johnson County library was filled with Clinton Campaign fellows. She called people to recruit them for her next swing state canvas trip to Iowa. She went door to door asking people protocol questions, hoping they would volunteer at their local phone bank and proposed that they should vote for Clinton. Growing up in a politically split family, Levy always knew that she was a part of the Democratic Party. She didn’t decide to be a part of the campaign because of her mom or sister, she chose because of her individual beliefs as a U.S. citizen. She knew she was bound to be a Democrat. Levy heard about the internship from a friend who had taken the same internship last election season. She contacted the campaign office and was accepted into the program. “Even though [Clinton] didn’t win, doing [the internship] showed me that there was a change, and that doesn’t mean we didn’t make any impact,” Levy said. Levy plans on pursuing a career behind the scenes of politics, hoping to become a lawyer and be involved with other future campaigns. Taking the fellowship was a huge step in Levy’s political career and could be a large contributor to her future. Making an impact on her country was always a dream of Levy’s, and the first step to get there was through her community. The first step to become a bigger part of an even larger whole.

alking into the Kevin Yoder campaign office, junior Jack Furla looks around at the other men and women, all over 20 years old, reporting for their job. Standing amongst the crowd of bustling adults dressed in suits and pencil skirts, his eyes scanned the room to spot a group of teenagers from East. He quickly walked over feeling anxious. Intimidation sank in. At first, being a 16 year old field staffer in a Republican state for a Republican candidate wasn’t a hard job for Furla, but as the election drew nearer, Yoder’s previously predicted 80:20 lead in their favor decreased. The field staffers, including Furla and the other teenagers working at the office, were forced to expand their outgoing calls and increase the number of houses they reached before the election ended. Balancing school and the election was a troublesome task for Furla, but his grades never swayed despite the surplus workload at the campaign office. By the time the election was over, Yoder won with a lead of 51-40. Seeing all of the work that went into Yoder’s campaign changed Furla’s views about the candidates. “Having respect for [the candidates] is one thing,” Furla said. “But working side by side with Yoder and seeing him on a daily basis and working toward a common goal is completely different.” Furla moved past the intimidation from day one, past the challenges of managing election work and school. Being a small part of a large whole gave Furla a very real-life experience that he couldn’t get elsewhere. An experience that he would take with him to further his own future career.
