Photography After High School
During high school, photography was not only my strongest talent but my most beneficial. When I first started taking pictures, it was to help me forget about my problems, either at home or at school. I liked to use photography as a distraction from these problems. Eventually, it developed into a skill that I wanted to take to the next level. In junior year, I decided to take pursue my curiosity of joining the yearbook club. Because of the practice I had had leading up to my junior year of high school, I felt that I could take some amazing pictures. But to do this, I would have to make sacrifices: I had to practice my photography skills every day and learn to step outside of my comfort zone to ask people if I could take their pictures--a scary

    I went from the girl who was terrified of speaking her mind to someone who can easily give speeches in front of people and can lead a clarinet section of 20 people. Being responsible for 19 other people is a challenge that freshman me would never have been able to do, and in this way, band has helped me grow into both the leader and the person that I am today. However, band didn’t just help me grow, it made me happy. My memories of band are some of the happiest memories of my life. Memories ranging from praying to all the band gods above for a water break or possibly a nice cloud to shade us from the evil sun to marching and winning sweepstakes at our very first competition and crying our tears of happiness together. I will always cherish these memories.Band acted as my salvation in how it forced me to grow into the leader I am today and how it made me happy. I want college to act as my second salvation. When I first found Arcadia, I wanted to go there simply for the accelerated forensic science program it provided. Then, I visited the campus and realized that I adore it and would love living…

    If I could continue to participate in any activity through my university years, I would choose to publications. The school yearbook was the most fun I ever had during my high school years. I enjoyed every part of the process of making the yearbook, from taking pictures to editing them, to interviewing my classmates to writing about them. Everything that I had to do was so enjoyable. The best part was leaving my mark on something lasting. In this age of technology, there is not much that lasts beyond the digital world, and flipping through a solid book, that I put work into creating, was enlightening for me. My time on the yearbook staff seems fleeting, and I wish that it could last I bit…

    From a young age we’re asked what we want to be when we grow up, never how we expect to become when we grow up. I was well aware of what I wanted to become, but not sure how to get there until I started high school when my counselor explained to me the importance of having a full portfolio with a wide range of extracurricular activities. Then it became clear to me, I needed extracurricular activities to become who I wished to be. Throughout my high school career I’ve participated in several extracurricular actives such as math club, soccer and UIL One Act. In the future, I want to participate in these activities or anything similar to those I participated in high school.…

    As somebody who always had trouble fitting in in school, it was really hard to find a place of which I could be a part of. I joined band in middle school, and I enjoyed playing greatly, even if I wasn’t the most talented saxophone player in the program. I wouldn’t say I was passionate about it at the time, but band certainly was a fun and [something] experience, learning to play music with my friends. Through my three years of middle school at Southeast Bulloch, I travelled from second-to-last chair placement in 6th grade to 2nd chair placement in 8th grade. For a lonely, shy middle schooler, it meant a lot to me to have an activity I was good…

    Two of the worst things you can be are extremely shy and extremely tall. The shyness and anxiety make you want to become a small ball, but you can’t do that when you’re twelve and 5’9. These overwhelming emotions made me want to quickly disqualify any and everything that brought attention to myself. So that made journalism seem like a non- existing option. However, I continued to write because that’s what I loved and even if I couldn’t pursue it I needed to write because it was a part of me. I decided to attend a high school that specialized in all things communications, not because I magically thought journalism was for me, but because I wanted to go to a school where no one knew me. This was one of the best things I could’ve done. In the center for communications, I learned the ins and outs of writing academically and for a publication. I learned how to separate you on screen persona from your…

    Out of all experiences I've had, the one that has been meaningful to me is taking my last yearbook pictures for my senior year. I wasn't taking pictures for a mugshot and a crime scene photographer wasn’t taking pictures of my lifeless body. I reached a milestone in my life that many people told me I couldn’t achieve. Though I hadn’t walked across the stage for graduation yet, it felt good to do something that many people told me I wouldn’t ever experience being a young black girl in America. The reason why this specific moment was meaningful to me is because it made me think about the many people my age who never got to experience this; the feeling of being ALMOST done with high school. I could've been like many African American people my…

    During my sophomore year in high school, I chose to enter the Principles of Art, Audio, and Video Technology elective class, which taught the basics of photography, cinematography, and other arts associated with the two. Most people looked at the class as an unchallenging way to get out of taking an art credit; however, I wanted to use this class to pursue my passion of photography. As the school year was coming to a close, my teacher offered applications into the Commercial Photography class to individuals, like myself, that exhibited a substantial interest in the subject. Although I knew I could take pictures worthy of appeal, the competition was tough, which meant that I had to step my game up in order for my teacher to accept me into the…

    After completing the survey for my economics course it gave me a career field that I should consider joining based off of my answers to the survey. The field I was given was investigative. I agree with choice because I love to solve puzzles and work with things that makes me have to think to figure it out. Also, the investigative field is a good fit for me because the jobs that are involved in this field involve math which is one of my favorite subjects whether it be engineering or computer programming. Plus, with it being investigative I am not limited by the math field because I could also work in the medical field by being a doctor trying to find a malignant tumor. The two career paths I have decided on that stem from this career category would have to be computer hardware engineer or being a biomedical engineer.…
