Essay

Self evaluation Journalism was brought upon my life in eighth grade, I

joined the yearbook staff at Conway Middle School, and spent the year making the yearbook. After spending the

whole year putting together the yearbook, I entered high school soon forgetting the joy I attained from eighth grade

creating memories. In tenth grade I took Journalism I and I enjoyed it so much I applied to be a part of Boone High

Schools yearbook staff. I was accepted and began the stressful year of Legend Yearbook.

My writing in the beginning of the year was not up to par, it was not even close. Each deadline my copy would

get resubed, not just once but multiple times. In deadline three, which was marching band, I got resubed at least 4

times. I did not I quit I continued to work on my story to get it just right. The process gave me patience and enhanced my

writing skills. I began to actually realized what I could say and what I could not say.

I learned teamwork throughout the year, each deadline I had to work with the editors and cooperate with each per-

son making sure I turned stuff in on time. This class made me grow as a character, I learned how to handle my stress in

tight situations and push back mistakes and move on, which are all qualities needed in a job.

During this year on staff I learned qualities, that would come in handy in the future. This class was valuable to me because

it taught me how to stay on top of my work, I learned not to procrastinate. In the future if i need to work on adobe

applications, I will be able to manurer around with ease. I also learned AP style writing which will come in handy while

writing college essays and job applications. I will put the skills learned in this class to use in the future by managing

my time better and actually rereading my writing.

Reflection 1 My favorite deadline to work on this year was deadline two,

which was swimming, this was the first deadline I met deadline on time. I was proud of my work, I went to swim matches to get pictures and I

felt like I actually got to know the team, and a feel for their goals. The body copy was entertaining to write I did not dread trying to think of

how to get my story to flow or the perfect transition sentence. I think this was my best work because this is the spread I felt most

content with and was fun to work on. The swim team was funny and gave me great quotes to work with. This deadline in general was one

of the easier ones to complete, I finally got the system down. The story on this page in the beginning was going to be about Brendan and

how he was going into the Navy, but we soon realized he did not get accepted into the Navy because of one flaw; his eyesight.

I had to write about such a personal and emotional topic to him which made the story entertaining to me. Throughout the process of

competing this spread not much changed besides the story and that was such a little thing to fix compared to the whole deadline. I learned

just to take each section one at a time and not look at everything as a whole. My favorite part of this spread was the pictures I loved how

there were shots from under water and not just the classic swimming pic-ture. I also liked the story, I thought it was a nice feature story that was

inspirational.

I think my deadline three still needs work, it was a stressful deadline to complete. I learned that even though

there are thousands of pictures taken, it does not mean any of the pictures are particularly good. I had so many pic-

tures to use but either the lighting was weird or they were just not good pictures.

The work from the beginning evolved a lot, the story changed and the design flipped, it was stressful when all that

happened but in the end it worked for the better making the spread better. It could better be improved by changing

some of the pictures, I just think the picture of Sarah Speilman could have been better.

My overall feeling of this piece is pride, I like it and knowing that I put so much of my time and commitment into

it makes me happy. I like how so many kids are involved in band and all of them get to look at the page. My favorite

part of working on this deadline was that I got to actually go to the band competitions, I never went to one before and it

was fun supporting them. One competition at Timber Creek I drove all the way

there to hopefully get some good pictures of the band, but I was in for a rude awakening. The lady running the compe-

tition would not let me even by the field I had to stay in the bleachers and watch. When the teams were performing you

weren’t aloud to move. That was the moment I realized this was not going to be as easy as I thought it was going to be.

Reflection 3

WHY I LIKE IT:I like this picture because of the angle and the lighting, those elements attract me to the photo. The angle makes me actually look at the picture and try to deci-pher what he is doing. I like how it is different, I am proud of this picture. This picture was a dominant on the Senior Class spread, I like how everyone can look at that page and know I took this picture. I am also proud of this picture because I know the kid in the photo Coby Davis loves it, once he got the yearbook he posted the picture on twitter and was excited he was in the book, and knowing he was happy about it made me more proud of the picture.parkingpainting_patz

Reflection 3

WHY I LIKE IT:I like this picture be-cause of the qualities it has, there is a nice depth of field and the contrast between the girl and the dark background is nice. The lighting attracts me to the picture it just makes the girl stand out. I am proud that this picture I took is the dominant for the color guard page.colorgaurd_patz

Reflection 3

WHY I LIKE IT:I am attracted to this photo because of the action. It just looks really hard core and the swimmer looks really determined. Though this picture was not the dominant of the swim page I am still really proud of taking it. I like that fact that i got him mid swing for another stroke and his head is up as he takes a breath. I think this picture has a nice element of leading lines and it has a nice straight on angle so you can see his whole face.boysswimming_patz

Reflection 4 I think I was an assent to the Legend staff this year

because I believe I helped complete the yearbook, I can’t take credit in making it as a whole but I think in general I ben-

efited the process of making it. Many pictures I took were used in the book which helped other people out so they did

not have to take their own pictures. I also think I relieved some stress though out the year

that people felt; I am not a very serious person so I think it helped other people out when they were stressed. One time

Brynne was stressed about her every chair has a story page, so I helped her out. I let her use my laptop during the

weekend or after school so she could work on it at home and I also cobbed some of the people on the page and

did the duo tone behind them because she did not know how to do it.

I believe I was committed to the staff, I always tried to complete everything, and yes things did not always go as

plan but I think that I at least did my best. I worked on my own time to even get stuff done, during lunch I would work on

my pages or even interview people. I even called a few kids to do phone interviews if I needed a better quote.

I drove to competitions or to peoples houses just to try to get pictures that could work on my page. I could not

make it to every work day because of prier commitments, which sucked but I don’t think it means I was not committed. I

put in hard hours to try to get everything perfect.

Reflection 5 A hardship I faced this year was managing my time equally

between all my activities. I am part of many sports, clubs, AP classes and yearbook so spreading out my time and actually staying on task in

tight deadlines was hard for me. Majority of the time many of my activities would overlap and I would have to choose which event,

meeting or competition I was going to go to. They were not always easy decisions because I knew in the end I would be letting someone

down. I learned that even though someone would be let down, you had to choose and I learned to plan ahead and not wait last minute.

I kept a calender that had dates of everything due or practice times and even club meetings so I could plan in advance. Of course

I will still have these problems next year because the world does not revolve around me, even though I would like it to and everything will

not always go my way. I think I will handle the situations better and try balancing out my schedule and not putting cheer 100% always first, I

will need to make sacrifices that are hard for me. I would also trygetting ahead and not procrastinate so even if I have to miss

something I would be ahead and it wont put my farther behind. Overall I think I handled my situation of conflicts okay. I think it

could have gone better though throughout the year but I believe that I made it work as best as I could. Next year on staff I think I will be more

prepared for conflicts and I think that it will be easier to handle them.

Reflection 6

Reflection 6 I did not complete all my goals that I thought I could but I still

tried completing them. My first goal was to meet all my deadlines, I did not meet all my deadline but I was close to meeting them. A few of my

deadlines my page would change and I would not have a page so I could not place picture and I did not even know what shaped pictures

I needed. My second goal was to not get resubbed. After the midterm

I still got resubbed, but I get resubbed less than before. I still got re-subbed on my body copy about three more times after but I put more

work into my stories and tried harder to perfect them. Although I did not reach this goal I think I was still close to reaching it.

My third goal was to get an A every quarter for yearbook, yet again I did not complete this goal. The third quarter I got a B but I

maintained to keep an A for my year to date grade even though I had a B for the quarter. I did not succeed this goal because I did not make

deadline which was 100 possible points I lost. Not meeting deadline made my grade lower and drop to a B.

reflection 7

Y6. Personality profileI entered this because it was one of the only profiles I did this year and it was a lot of copy compared to my other deadlines. I also liked how it focused on teachers lives outside of school and got personal with the techers and not just the students. Y3. Sports feature writing

I liked this feature sports story, it was personal and showed how close the kid was to getting into the Navy. He just couldn’t be accepted to be a rescue swimmer because his eyesight was not good enough. This feature was my favor-ite to write this year so thats why I picked it.

Y8. Headline writingThese were my three favorite headlines I wrote this year they were really punny and I liked that about them, they made me laugh and I think lead the reader to actually want to read the story.

Clutching her racket tightly, she focused all of her attention on her opponent when she served.

As she cleared her mind, sophomore Meghan Cotton tossed the ball high into the air and began the most difficult match of the season: Winter Park.

With a 9-3 boys record and a 7-4 girls record, the teams prepared for their final pre-district match against number one seed Winter Park on March 19.

“Winter Park [was the hardest school to play] because they are the best team. There was a lot of conflict and yelling and screaming; it was really exciting,” senior Tyler Stokes said.

The boys and girls teams prepared mentally and physically throughout the season to face their rival.

“My biggest struggle was maintaining my mental game because I let my opponent get [inside] my head,” Cotton said. “I pushed myself by reminding

After Lampman’s return to the team, the boys focused on advancing through the district tournament.

Both teams competed in the district tournament at Winter Park on April 4. The boys team finished as the district runner-up to Winter Park, and the girls team finished in fourth place.

“The tennis season just about went how I expected for both the boys and girls teams; however, more experience for some players in matches could make next season better,” head coach Lisa Speer said. “The biggest difficulty is getting past the emotional issues and just playing tennis.”

The boys team faced Winter Park again in the regional meet on April 11, and finished the season as regional runner-ups losing to Winter Park, 1-4. Lampman continued to states for singles, and he and senior Remy Artavia advanced in doubles. / / /content by COURTNEY PATZ and OLIVIA REES

myself that you win a game by playing each point at a time.”

Despite her efforts, Cotton lost her singles match, 8-2. Overall, the girls’ team lost, 0-7, and the boys lost, 2-5.

Regardless of the final scores, the players reacted to the struggle positively and were there to support each other.

“The team works together by encouraging each other, win or lose. We keep our heads held high through thick and thin,” Cotton said.

In addition to losing to Winter Park, the team faced another struggle. Earlier in the season, the boys temporarily lost their number one ranked player, senior Samuel Lampman, for three matches because of a conflict with another coach.

“With Lampman being one of our main leaders, it was hard without him,” Stokes said. “[But without Lampman,] we have a good record, which gives us a good seed for districts.”

BE RIGHT BACK. Junior Davis Coleman backhands the ball over the net. “The hardest part of tennis is the mental aspect because you’re playing yourself and if you mess up it’s all your fault,” Coleman said. Coleman was runner-up in districts for line three. HIT

IT HIGH. With his racket in hand, senior Remy Artavia serves the ball. “I prefer [playing] doubles [because] I have always been much better at the net and love how the points move faster,” Artavia said. Artavia finished second in singles for metros.

RACK UP POINTS. On March 11, senior Samuel Lampman returns the ball to his Olympia opponent. “[I like playing] individuals because all responsibility is on me and I get to make my own choices,” Lampman said. Lampman won district

singles and doubles with partner Remy Artavia. SMASH SHOT. In the match against Colonial on Feb. 13, freshman Julia Bonnewitz returns the ball to her opponent. “[The hardest part of tennis] is your own mind because it is 80

percent mental and it is easy to get in your own head,” Bonnewitz said. Bonnewitz won this singles match, 8-2.

Music filled the air while the noise around vanished. Chemistry teacher Glenn Listort and physics instructor Mike Undieme

found outlets through music. Listort played the saxophone and Undieme played the guitar when they weren’t in the classroom teaching.

Music had always surrounded Listort; his father played the saxophone and his brother played the trombone. He wanted to join the family fascination so he took up playing the saxophone at a young age.

“[My dad] took me to see my first show in Miami, and looking at [the band], I saw them playing all those instruments and I said that’s

what I wanted to do when I was older,” Listort said.At the age of 15, Listort played his first show. After his first

performance Listort decided he wanted to continue playing the saxophone, so he performed solo as well as with a jazz band at local churches and other venues.

Undieme received his first guitar as a gift. He started a band, Friday Nights, with his friends in 2009.

“It really wasn’t planned at all; it just sort of happened,” Undieme said.

Undieme played in front of large crowds and small parties. He enjoyed playing for people who enjoyed listening his music.

“It is really good when the people are enjoying it and paying attention,” Undieme said.

Show after show, Undieme and Listort continued playing because of their passions for music.

“When you play a show and people love it, it’s incredible. It’s why I keep coming back,” Listort said. “I get the feeling of accomplishment [from] making music from a piece of metal.”

THE KIDS [IN MAGNET] ARE

REALLY FUN; I MAKE THEM

WORK HARD, BUT I

ENJOY EVERY DAY WITH THEM.

/ / / content by COURTNEY PATZ

The gavel knocked and law magnet teacher Laura Crolla won the case.

Before she started teaching, Crolla practiced criminal defense law. She

owned a law firm and mentored juvenile delinquents. She had always been interested in

teaching kids and she became excited upon learning that former magnet law teacher for Boone, Cindy Schmidt was taking a position at University of Central Florida, leaving her position open for Crolla to step into.

Once she started teaching, she minimized the amount of cases she took and saved her sick days for when she was needed in court.

“It would be impossible to run a full law firm and teach here,” Crolla said.

Being a lawyer and a high school

teacher had differences, but Crolla used her experience as a lawyer to help her transition into teaching students on the subject.

“Honestly, when you are a lawyer, your clients do not always understand the law. You have to teach them the laws and how it affects them. The experience I gained from teaching my clients I use to teach my students now,” Crolla said.

Her students helped make the transition from working in an office to teaching.

“The brilliant answers and questions they asked, I knew they would be advanced, but I feel they challenge me to research [topics],” Crolla said. “My colleagues are amazed at the topics I can address with my class. The kids are really fun; I make them work hard, but I enjoy every day with them.”

Music filled the air while the noise around vanished. Chemistry teacher Glenn Listort and physics instructor Mike Undieme

found outlets through music. Listort played the saxophone and Undieme played the guitar when they weren’t in the classroom teaching.

Music had always surrounded Listort; his father played the saxophone and his brother played the trombone. He wanted to join the family fascination so he took up playing the saxophone at a young age.

“[My dad] took me to see my first show in Miami, and looking at [the band], I saw them playing all those instruments and I said that’s

what I wanted to do when I was older,” Listort said.At the age of 15, Listort played his first show. After his first

performance Listort decided he wanted to continue playing the saxophone, so he performed solo as well as with a jazz band at local churches and other venues.

Undieme received his first guitar as a gift. He started a band, Friday Nights, with his friends in 2009.

“It really wasn’t planned at all; it just sort of happened,” Undieme said.

Undieme played in front of large crowds and small parties. He enjoyed playing for people who enjoyed listening his music.

“It is really good when the people are enjoying it and paying attention,” Undieme said.

Show after show, Undieme and Listort continued playing because of their passions for music.

“When you play a show and people love it, it’s incredible. It’s why I keep coming back,” Listort said. “I get the feeling of accomplishment [from] making music from a piece of metal.”

OVERTIME

SET LIST. At practice, teacher Mike Undieme looks through songs for his next show. “It’s fun to play and learn songs together,” Undieme said. Friday Nights, Undieme’s band, actually met on Friday nights to practice. STRUM. Undieme plays the guitar at practice. “[My favorite part of being in a band] is learning new songs and figuring out how to play them,” Undieme said. Friday Nights practiced in Undieme’s living room. JAM. At OLV, Glenn Listort performs for guests. “It’s a natural high [after a show],” Listort said. The science department went to listen to Listort play.

THE KIDS [IN MAGNET] ARE

REALLY FUN; I MAKE THEM

WORK HARD, BUT I

ENJOY EVERY DAY WITH THEM.

/ / / content by COURTNEY PATZ

The gavel knocked and law magnet teacher Laura Crolla won the case.

Before she started teaching, Crolla practiced criminal defense law. She

owned a law firm and mentored juvenile delinquents. She had always been interested in

teaching kids and she became excited upon learning that former magnet law teacher for Boone, Cindy Schmidt was taking a position at University of Central Florida, leaving her position open for Crolla to step into.

Once she started teaching, she minimized the amount of cases she took and saved her sick days for when she was needed in court.

“It would be impossible to run a full law firm and teach here,” Crolla said.

Being a lawyer and a high school

teacher had differences, but Crolla used her experience as a lawyer to help her transition into teaching students on the subject.

“Honestly, when you are a lawyer, your clients do not always understand the law. You have to teach them the laws and how it affects them. The experience I gained from teaching my clients I use to teach my students now,” Crolla said.

Her students helped make the transition from working in an office to teaching.

“The brilliant answers and questions they asked, I knew they would be advanced, but I feel they challenge me to research [topics],” Crolla said. “My colleagues are amazed at the topics I can address with my class. The kids are really fun; I make them work hard, but I enjoy every day with them.”

just sayin’ ERIKA GUTIERREZ, sophomoreQ & A w i t hWHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MEET DURING THE SEASON?“I think when I went 28 seconds on my 50 yard freestyle and everyone congratulated me afterwards at the Lake Brantley Invitational.”

WHY DID YOU JOIN THE SWIM TEAM THIS YEAR?“I swim because I love water sports. I used to swim when I was little, and I decided to go back to it this year.”

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT SWIMMING?“The people and the sport, in general. The people are really fun to be around, and swimming is really fun.”
