I’ve been a student at the Crestone Charter School for 11 years. Last year I started doing
the yearbook at Crestone Charter School. I was lucky to have a photography teacher who
taught me to use my camera and edit my photos. I first got into photography when I was
younger because my Grandpa is a wildlife photographer. He would always show me all of his photos when I saw him. He gave me my first camera when I was 14 years old at my sister’s high school graduation.
My older sister did the yearbook for two years in high school. The first one that they did
was just of the high school but the last one that they did before they graduated was of the whole school. She talked me into taking over the yearbook. I hope to pass it to my younger brother when he gets into high school. He’ll be in 9th grade next year, so I get to teach him how to do it all.
Doing a Yearbook by yourself is a hard thing to do. It takes up a lot of your personal
time. I worked on the yearbook for 75 hours last year and more than half of that time was after school hours or even on the weekends. But at the end of it all you have something to show the whole school. Most people keep their yearbooks forever. That’s why I take the time to make it the best that I can because I find it amazing that the yearbook that I made will stay with most of these kids for the rest of their lives.
