September 3rd, 2014


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.
