Hey guys! My name is Caroline and I am a senior. I have to admit something to my readers… I have an obsession with life. That is why I am an enthusiast of the photographic arts. I am planning on being a National Geographic Photographer but for now I am a reporter for WEHS newspaper and Photo Editor for the yearbook. I am also the President of the EVGHS club and an in TPSP Independent Studies. I have an obsession with Dr. Pepper, photography, reading, writing and dogs. Yes, dogs; I have five Great Danes. I’ve been told that I’m exotic and crazy, I guess that is true. I mean who wants to be normal anyway?
