After today’s meeting with Miss Amy I have told myself that
I will take things more slowly this year. It’s my senior year and my main focus
is myself. But at the same time I’m not going to stop doing things. My main CAS
goal this year is finding someone that will take my place as a Yearbook Director. Miss Amy will ask the new CAS generations if someone is interested and
I will announce it during community meeting once I settle and I start planning.
But first I need to arrange the last details so last year’s book get
here, get people excited about yearbook and then recruit people.
To be honest I didn’t want to continue with yearbook because
of what happened last year because I worked really hard on the books and the
end I left like I was left alone to deal with the shipping by my “team” and Mr.
Abel was blaming it on me when it was a situation that was out of my
control. I don’t really want to go more
in depth because I don’t want to unmotivated myself again.
Yearbook is my project and it has been since 10th
grade, which is a long time and this is perfect example about my perseverance
and commitment because besides all the negative things that happened there is a
part of that doesn’t let me give up on this project, because it’s my project,
it’s like my baby! In the past 2 years yearbook has been my most stable
project, during my pre-CAS years when I had no idea what I was doing, I was
stable doing yearbook. Last school year when I wasn’t working on Creek Camp I
was working on yearbook, it’s my little pride. I like to see yearbook as a
little business that I started and this is my last year at school and I want to
make sure that it is the best yearbook so far even if I need to do it on my own
(but I really hope I have people helping me). This is an emotional year because
it is our last and I’ve always felt like a big part of the school participating
in different activities and yearbook is my “gift” to the school, what I leave
behind. When the school has 20 years of working I want students to look back at
the first yearbooks that I made and acknowledge what I left them.
Anyways going back to my plan. One of my weakness is that I
like to get involved in many things, which I need to work on and which why I’m
only focusing on yearbook because beside that I have other activities outside
of school such as dance, religion class for confirmation and college research.
That is it for now, I really hope that the yearbooks get
here in the next week or two! I was so proud of the outcome and I only hearing
complains about the yearbook not being here yet is not helping, but they will
all see how they were worth a wait.
