Bio

First and foremost, I am a Christian. I strive to be the best person I can be, no matter the situation. Family is important to me and so is lending a helping hand when I can. A few things about me are that I love to read, a lot, I've been told to put the books down a time or two. I also like to sew, my Granny was a seamstress and she taught me everything I know about the craft. I plan to attend NC State University to study Agricultural Business Management. My family farms and they passed along the love for the business to me.

I'm an editor on my school's yearbook staff. Part of my job in the class is to go around campus and take pictures to document the events of the year. This year my school did something new after sophomores took the pre-ACT, they had a Student Success Celebration. In short, it was a high school-level field day. There were inflatable obstacle courses, basketball, axe throwing, snowcones, corn-hole, and other small competitions. It was a great event to take pictures at because there were so many things to do and so many kids were having a blast. In the portfolio, every picture is one I took that day at the celebration. The first picture showcases a senior student racing her favorite teacher on the obstacle course. She got so far ahead that you can't even tell she was racing anyone. The second picture showcases a challenge made by the FFA, a hay bale throwing competition. Students competed to see who could throw a hay bale the furthest. The third image shows two brothers who had a tight race on the obstacle course. They threw themselves down the slide at the end to try to win the race because it was so tight. The final image I submitted shows a student trying his luck at the punching bag game. I chose all those images together because they showcase the unity that comes from having fun. When everyone is having fun no one cares what you look like or how "popular" you are. I think by using the images I did you can easily see that in practice in a really simple way.
