AMES Satellite
Since my freshmen year I have had the opportunity to work on the school newspaper, the AMES Satellite. I started out as a photographer/reporter and every year I have moved up the chain of seniority (or something like that) and I achieved the level of Co-Editor-in-Chief last year and kept that position this year.
Stress: The Portrait of a Serial Killer (Sophomore Year)
In my 10th grade health class we talked a lot about stress and how it effects a person. When we got the assignment to watch the documentary mentioned in the paper and then write about stress, I realized how much stress I have in my life. This paper brought to my attention how much stress has effected my personal life as well as my interaction with others and since then I have tried to reduce/control the stress in my life.
Writing 1010 I-search Paper
In U of U writing 1010 our last assignment is the I-Search paper. Basically what we had to do is a research paper on literally any topic of our choice. Ms. McKenna (my professor) recommended doing a topic that you are interested in. One of my life goals is to travel though Europe and spend 2 weeks in England (mainly in London). So when writing the paper I went through the process of planning my actual trip. It was a great learning experience as far as learning how to plan a trip, and when I finally go on this dream trip I plan on using my plan from the paper.
