*Click* welcome welcome to a little paragraph that describes everything about me, they call me Jes. Jessica is more me, but whatever floats your boat. I am a senior at last after roaming these halls for three years. This is my second year on the newspaper staff and it’s going to be a wonderful! I've been on yearbook staff for two years and counting now, where I am the assistant Editor in chief! Going into yearbook I was beyond skeptical because I never had any of Theddy’s classes before, but who would have known it was the best class I've ever taken! I worked hard to get where I am today. I have grown to love photography; it speaks when all words fail. I especially love sports photography. I get some rockin’ football pictures, and you will find me every Friday with a long lens and a field pass! I usually take on more than I can chew I’m in AP classes but honestly I devote my life to yearbook more than any of my other classes. Recently we started a new club called Quill and Scroll, the International Honor Society for High School Journalists, where I was elected president, of course I was honored! I’m ready to take on this year and I’m so glad to be given this opportunity to help the school add one more club under its belt. I work at B&E Photography and I honestly have the best job in the world. Another thing about me is that I love cats, I love cats a lot. I drink Coke way too much for my own good. My spirit animal is the Sloth. I dream big, I want to change the world. Hopefully next year I will be standing on the sidelines of the new Baylor University football field. Thank you for reading a little about me! Rock on! *Click*
