Dear Mr. Garrepy:
The distinctive approach Daynerhall has applied to marketing and advertising is something I’d personally like to experience. I appreciate the capabilities of the agency you run, and I would like to apply for an internship during this upcoming summer because I believe I could contribute to your success.
As the Sports Editor of my high school yearbook, I have mastered skills in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Dreamweaver. I have conducted interviews, taken pictures, written and edited content in my section. My previous interactions with people would make me a perfect fit for your staff because I am capable of working well with others, while managing my own deadlines. My background in these areas would apply directly to the specific guidelines for your company.
I am aware that your company works to meet the client’s exact needs. After producing a yearbook I have first-hand experience with meeting the demands of the target audience. We have to consider that although it would be easier to use people two or three times throughout the book, we make a distinct effort to only picture or quote students once so that we can ensure everyone is covered somewhere in the final product. I am willing to make sacrifices to meet the overall expectations of the company, even if it means going out of my way.
I appreciate your considering me for an internship, but I feel that an interview would allow me to personally express my capabilities to you directly. I have attached a detailed resume of my experience to further illustrate my qualifications. I appreciate your consideration, and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
Respectfully yours,
Delaney Arkeilpane

ESSAYSESSAYS
I got started in journalism my freshman year of high school with Mrs. Burke. I was involved with the yearbook when I was in seventh and eighth grade, but I really began to study it in depth once I took Journalism I and advanced onto yearbook. Another major influence in choosing this course was from a good friend of mine Emily Nusbickel. Her older sister was on the yearbook staff for three years, and seeing her accomplishments sparked my interest. Through the course of this year alone I have gained a lot of valuable knowledge. Becoming a section editor allowed me to expand my skills of actual production. I had to proof the pages and PDF them for shipment. Also I would say that I’ve managed deadlines pretty well prior to this year, but I learned how to help of staffers stay on deadline by talking to them daily about what was expect if they were in my section. Managing a section takes a lot of teamwork too. I learned that it’s not something one person can produce alone, and you sometimes have to rely on other people to produce. I also learned that other times you can’t rely on people and you have to step up, but it’s important to know the difference of when to step in. In the field of sales and advertising I personally conducted phone calls to parents in order to inform them about the yearbook sales. This taught me that you sometimes have to reach out to people in order to gain a sale. Sometimes it would be easier to brush things off and leave them the way they are, but when something needs changing it must be done. The boys volleyball page was a struggle to say the least, and without the journalism ethics instilled on our staff it could’ve remained a disaster. When a key player was expelled we had to remove him everywhere from the page, although it was aggravating to change, it taught me journalism ethics because we have to use our discretion on what should or shouldn’t be covered. Overall yearbook takes a lot of dedication. Knowing that we were producing an outstanding yearbook helped me to keep my focus and perfect my pages. This was a valuable course for me to take because it’s something that challenges me but at the same time I really enjoy it. Obviously I won’t be returning to staff next year, but the skills I have developed over my three years of staff will help me in the future. It has made me realize that I would love to pursue a career in this field and now I have the photography, design and writing skills I need.
Self-Evaluation
REFLECTION ONEREFLECTION ONE
Considering that I didn’t personally work on many pages this year it’s easy to say that the girls swimming page was my most significant work. I wasn’t going into my first deadline as sports editor with the intention of having my own page to complete was well. But with the complications on the staff I had to take over the page. Initially I was pretty stressed about the idea of having my own deadline while ensuring that the people in my section completed theirs. What I really feel makes this my best was the dominant alone. When I designed the page I had the idea of portraying the through the motions picture with an underwater action shot. Getting the picture was a process of trial and error, but I was extremely pleased with how well it turned out. I think part of what made it so cool was the fact that it was taken through an underwater camera so it really spiced up the page and got your attention. I felt like I was rushed on the deadline, but I made sure to focus on getting the pictures and everything else just followed easily. After we shot the dominant I was able to write body copy and go through all my editors very timely. From the first draft to the finish their were really only minor changes. I really tried to focus on getting the elements together from the start that way I wouldn’t find myself re-shooting the dominant or resubmitting for body copy. With this in mind I was able to complete a noteworthy page for the book. Being that this was my first time editing page while working on my own spread I learned how to balance my time accordingly and assist the staffers in whatever ways I could.

Reflection One
REFLECTION TWOREFLECTION TWO
Deadline seven was interesting to say the least. As our last deadline of the year I was starting to feel that most of the staff was checked out. And since we didn’t have proofs this made it even more stressful for me because I wanted to perfect my section. After seeing how the girls swimming page turned out I wanted to carry the same idea somewhere into the spring supplement and I thought that girls track would be the best place to try to repeat the dominant. I had the idea that we could try to dhow another through the motions on a huddle jump. Initially I designed the page much like the girls swimming page with a dominant bleeding across the entire top of the page. When we went to shoot it though the action ended up looking kind of weak across both pages. In order to fix this we decide to play with the layout and shrink the dominant to one page, add another picture and enlarge the ones we had before to fill the page. Since we were rushed on the deadline I felt like this was the best we could do with what we had. If I could improve the page I would start by re-shooting the dominant because I just don’t feel like the finished product has the wow factor I had in mind when I designed the page. Then I would play around with the layout because the cluster of photos on the opposite page take away from the dominant since they are so large. What I learned from this page is that things don’t always turn out the way you intend for them to, and when that happens you have to make some adjustments. Overall I feel like the page is decent, but if we had more time to perfect it I know it would’ve looked better.

REFLECTION THREEREFLECTION THREE
I like this picture because it is very different from most pictures you see of swimming. Getting to shoot pictures with the underwater camera was an experience, but I was excited with how this one turned out. I think it has a nice center of visual interest and rule of thirds.

REFLECTION THREEREFLECTION THREE
I took this picture as an aid for Emily and Amelia because they couldn’t take pictures for their page during six and seventh, the only two classes for keyboarding. I like that there is a little bit of depth of field with the keyboard. Honestly this is one of the only pictures I shot that made it in the book, so it’s not necessarily that strong, but it’s all I have.

I shot this picture of Matt Combs during a beat at one of the volleyball games. I was getting pretty frustrated with some of the pictures I was taking. Personally I find it very hard to shoot sports, especially volleyball which seems ironic considering that I play it. Although when I took this picture I was satisfied with the rule of thirds and the action it displays.

REFLECTION FOURREFLECTION FOUR
I was an asset to the staff and the 2013 edition of the Legend yearbook because I did everything I could to make our book the best. As sports editor I made sure that all of my pages were designed for the staffers in my section. By deadline seven I even designed them a week in advance of the date staffers were to begin on the pages. I made sure to do my grading me within the first 24 hours that they were given to me. I also tried to communicate with the people in my section daily during a deadline to ensure that they were clear with what was expected of them, and to assist them if they had any questions. Not only that but I also worked on some of my own pages. During deadline two I stepped up and finished the swimming page when we lost a staffer. I also offered to design the in-depth page when no one else did. Not only that but after deadline I took over sections to guarantee that the pages were perfected, and corrected them further when proofs came back. Overall I think I became a pretty big asset to the staff this year. As a senior editor of a large section of the book I felt like I had a lot of control over the final product. I also feel like I was an example to the younger staffers because I am very consistent with what I expect and I make it clear that this book is very important to me by dedicating so much of my time to it. And even if I am intimidating to some of the staffers I still feel like I was pretty approachable and willing to help when it gets down to it.
REFLECTION FIVEREFLECTION FIVE
Compared to previous years, for the most part, I didn’t feel like my position on staff was too overwhelming for me this year. I liked that I could design pages instead of having to actually conduct interviews and complete the content myself. And after three years on staff I feel like I can finally say that I’ve got the system down and I can consistently meet deadlines.Although I feel that it has always been a struggle when I have to depend on other people to get things completed. Every year is challenging because we have to rely on everyone on staff at some point to produce quality work for the book. I had to count on the people in my section to finish their layouts, so that I could make sure that we were ready to ship the pages. Deadlines are by no means easy for anyone, and I realize that sometimes problems arise and people get behind. But this creates a hardship for me because ultimately I know that I will have to take over the page if they don’t complete it.I think what I struggle with the most is that if someone doesn’t perform someone else suffers from it. There is no way we can just avoid this issue because unlike most classes where you just receive your own grade for an assignment we are working to produce a book so it must get done. I guess that I learned that it’s just something you have to suck it up and get the work done. In my position this happened on a few occasions and I was expected to take over and ensure that the job was done correctly.A lot of times with group work I feel like I end up doing most of the work anyways. In truth, I would probably just do it myself if I was faced with this problem again because I have learned that you can’t always rely on other people. Overall I think I’ve handled the situation to the best of my abilities by offering as much help as I can because I hate to see that it sometimes falls on Mrs. Burke to complete.
REFLECTION SIXREFLECTION SIX
During the semester exam I was asked what my three goals were for the second semester and how I would fulfill them. The first goal I set was to complete three beats with a wrap up for the web. It was a process for me to find a time to schedule them and I was highly considering sacrificing the grade, but I managed to find the time. I made sure to tweet during the game, take pictures and submit my wrap up within the next day for all three of my beats. The second goal I set for myself was to perfect my deadline 7 layouts. I did this by designing them weeks in advance during deadline 5 when I didn’t have a deadline, so that I could give my editors enough time to grade them and fix the changes. I succeed at this because my designs were complete and on the server prior to a week before the deadline was set to begin. Lastly I wanted to make sure that I was more available to staffers. This was probably the hardest goal I set for myself because I don’t think you can judge how well I did since it’s basically an opinion. Some staffers might feel that I was an asset while other might disagree. I tried to talk to the people in my section everyday while we were on deadline and help them with their questions. I also attempted to shoot boys volleyball and girls track pictures for staffers that were struggling, but my pictures are not that good.

I feel terribly [ about gun violence]. I try to empathize with the families of the victims, but there is no way I could possibly grasp the depth of their despair. I just hope that it inspires change.
KAELEM MOHABIR

itself.”-Makenzie Figuerado, a senior who supported gun availability for the public

THE CURVED GRIP felt cool to his touch, and the oiled metal glinted as he lifted the weapon. Within seconds, a misfired bullet torpedoed into his toddler brother’s chest.
The case of Louisiana 18-year-old Terrance Varisse and the death of his younger brother, Travin, was not exceptional. Instances of gun violence resulted in over 32,163 deaths in 2011. This figure, compounded by rampage shootings in Aurora, Colo.; Newtown, Conn.; and New York, NY, sparked a debate over whether the U.S.’s firearms restrictions were too imprecise to be effective. Students and other community members remained divided over whether gun control was an unnecessary interference of constitutional rights or a crucial responsibility of lawmakers to ensure the safety of their constituents.
“It’s our Second Amendment right, and we should be able to bear arms to protect ourselves and our loved ones. It shouldn’t be taken away,” senior Savannah Winship said.
Pro-gun activists referenced the Second Amendment, which assured “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” as an unsuspendable and fundamental freedom. Other community members, however, felt the American public needed to behave accountably to deserve this right.
“With freedom comes great responsibility. To live in such a large society, we need organization. [Events like the Newtown shooting] always make you worried that a) there are people willing to do such horrific things and [b) makes you think] ‘Have we missed identifying any potential issues?’ It’s very concerning,” school resource officer Scott Daniels said.
Indisputably, the Newtown, Conn., shooting, in which Adam Lanza opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, killing 26, including 21 5 and 6 year olds, caused public outrage and raised the issue of violence in schools.
“It was devastating news. They were a bunch of innocent kids. I just can’t fathom what would drive somebody to do something like that,” junior Kaelem Mohabir said.
In response, activists proposed employing more armed guards in schools; before the shooting, only a third of U.S. did so.
The Newtown attack and the movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colo., on June 20, also brought attention to the accessibility of guns, especially to young people. Lanza, 20,
obtained his weapons from his mother’s locked cabinet, after slaying her prior to the school attack, and 24-year-old Aurora perpetrator James Holmes amassed weapons with little difficulty.
“Guns are too common in the United States. Obviously an inanimate object cannot kill someone of its own accord. Guns do, however, facilitate the rapid and effortless killing of people. Something needs to change,” Mohabir said.
Anti-firearm activists proposed more rigorous restrictions on purchases, as only two states, California and Rhode Island, mandated background checks for all gun sales. Pro-gun authorities like the National Rifle Association stated that background checks were a waste of time and would be largely ineffective, citing that less than 10 percent of firearms used in vicious crime, including burglary and homicide, came from federally-licensed dealers who required checks.
Pro-gun protesters further argued that extra precautions, even the prohibition of firearms, would be ineffective in preventing mass shootings. They maintained that weapons would still be readily accessible and that the incidents were the fault of mentally-disturbed gunmen and not the firearms themselves.
“Crazy people or anybody [else] are still going to be able to get a hold of guns. Guns don’t have a mind of their own. It’s the people who pick them up and fire them,” Winship said.
However, to those who saw the devastating effects of gun violence first-hand, the cause of the incidents was unimportant. If they did not culminate in death, gunshot wounds could cause numerous dangerous complications, including paralysis, loss of limb and extensive internal injuries.
Dr. John Promes, director of the Orlando Health trauma center, recognized the detrimental effects of firearm violence on society and hoped that a balance could be reached for the benefit of all, especially younger generations.
“I see how [violence] keeps [people] from being productive members of the community, so it absolutely makes a difference to me. It’s very disturbing to me when I see a young person who has been involved in gun violence. [If firearms disappeared,] I wouldn’t have to tell any more mothers or fathers or sisters that someone died because of gun violence,” Promes said. / / / content by AMELIA CHEATHAM and EMILY NUSBICKEL

Y28. Student Life spread: one spread
This is page 40-41 in the Student Life section. I’d like this piece to represent me because the in-depth design is very interesting and novel. I am the only one that can say that they designed it, and I take pride in that. I also like that my design made it into other sections and not just my own.
When the grueling week of tryouts came to an end, 14 girls left the Wayne Rickman Gymnasium with the coveted title of “varsity volleyball player” and the same attainable goal for the season in mind.
“We all just knew. We could see it in each other’s faces that we all shared the same goal: states,” junior Jenna Layton said.
Coach Michael Ladewski provided encouragement and support because he knew that if the girls pushed themselves hard enough, their goal would become a reality.
“I wanted to keep them focused on the goal of states. After the first practice, I assigned them some homework. I had them all go figure out their ring sizes as motivation for the goal they set,” Ladewski said.
The seniors led the team to success, both statistically and emotionally.
“Having eight seniors is amazing. Our captain, Delaney Arkeilpane, has really stood
do our best,” Layton said. “They’ve taught us not only how to be a good volleyball player but a good teammate as well.”
The leadership of the seniors and the drive of the underclassmen contributed to an overall successful season for the team; however, ultimately, it was not enough to guarantee them a spot at states.
During the season, the girls lost to Olympia, 1-3, but later defeated them, 3-1, in the regional quarter-finals. They beat Dr. Phillips during the season, 3-2, and in the district finals, 3-0, but fell short when they lost to them in the regional semi-finals, 1-3.
“All I could ask was that my players gave 100 percent and tried their best,” Ladewski said. “This year has been my favorite team I’ve ever coached. I love seeing how the eight seniors have grown and how they have developed their leadership.” / / /content by MADISON NAGLE
out, but every senior has really stepped up to lead the team,” Ladewski said.
Arkeilpane contributed to the stability of the team as they worked towards states.
“Delaney was definitely the leading force this year. She has so much passion for the game, and she knows our individual strengths and weaknesses. She has so much energy, and she pumps us up,” senior Brianna Lakman said.
The senior girls not only led the team but also took it upon themselves to become mentors to the underclassmen.
“I know we have a big effort on them. They look up to us for sure. We always try to make them feel like one of us,” Lakman said.
The underclassmen valued the leadership qualities of the seniors and hoped to someday develop the same characteristics.
“They always stay positive. Even when we’re having a bad game, they motivate us to

UNTOUCHABLE. Senior Robert Irwin dodges a West Orange opponent’s efforts to block his pass. “Our Rowdy Crowd is awesome. They definitely give us an edge,” Irwin said. Irwin had 15 points and five rebounds in the game.
11Points made in the season.
acknowledged the positive effects of team bonding on their season.
“If you work together in a group, you can accomplish things better than [you could] just [by] yourself,” Sanderson said.
The players’ record was evidence of their cooperation. They defeated Osceola, 73-70, in the preseason and then beat Cypress Creek, 62-32; Colonial, 50-41; and Winter Haven, 63-61. On Jan. 31, the team struggled to conquer Edgewater, eventually emerging victorious, 67-66.
The team also traveled to Ocala to participate in the Kingdom of the Sun tournament Dec. 26-29, where the boys finished 3-1 by defeating Miami Senior, Gainesville and Morgan County. Additionally, senior Robert Rimmer received the tournament’s “Mr. Hustle Award” for his three double-doubles during the competition.
These victories, however, were only possible because of the sacrifices and dedication of the players. While other student athletes experienced the lull of relaxing off-seasons, the team trained year-round to perfect every layup, tip-off and pass. The effort individuals expended during outside league play benefited the entire team and garnered praise from fans, college recruiters and the team’s own coach.
“[Our players] are willing to sacrifice individual success for the team’s success,” Shirley said. / / / content by AMELIA CHEATHAM and EMILY NUSBICKEL
team prepared in off-season to refine skills and bond
PRACTICE MAKESPERFECTSneakers squeaking, and sweat streaking down
his face, junior Blake Sanderson sprinted toward the basket. Despite the distractions of the raucous crowd and the attempts of his opponents to stop him, he shot the three-pointer to perfection, just as he practiced a thousand times before.
Though the boys basketball players valued team practices, they knew their proficiency on the court also depended on the hours they spent practicing during the off-season.
“You can lose your shot pretty quick if you don’t stay with it. [Year-round play] helps you stay in shape over the summer and just helps you touch up on some of your skills,” senior Jeffrey Morgan said.
Of the 10 players on the team, six improved their skills through programs during the off-season. These players, including Sanderson and Morgan, participated in Amateur Athletic Union club teams, to continue their training during the summer and fall.
Head coach Greg Shirley also offered the players the opportunity to practice in the off-season because he knew it would improve their skills, as well as foster camaraderie and stimulate better communication between players on the court.
“Players get more experience and exposure for colleges by being involved year-round,” Shirley said. “[My favorite part of coaching is] watching a group of young men work together.”

ON THE RIM. At the Winter Haven game on Jan. 5, senior Robert Rimmer slam dunks the ball. “[I play basketball] because it is an escape from the pressure and stress of everyday life,” Rimmer said. Rimmer was one of two players in the history of the school to score over 1000 points during their high school basketball careers.
KEEP AWAY. Searching for an open teammate to receive his pass, senior Dominique Wilson holds the ball out of Winter Haven opponent Mitch Long’s reach. “[My game strategy is] to go and stop the other team’s best player,” Wilson said. Wilson averaged 4.9 points per game.

Y30. Sports spread: one spread
This is page 162-163 in the Sports section of the book. I want this page to represent me because when I designed it I had to ensure that it had all the best elements of my section on it. Since I was on the volleyball team it was only fitting that I made it outstanding and I think they variety of elements really give it spice.
Y30. Sports spread: one spread
This is page 166-167 in the Sports section of the book. I like this page because I just feel like it has so much impact. I wish that all the pictures in my section showed this much action. The dominant really just demands your attention and I think the effect looks very nice. I also love all of the white space because I think it really adds to the design.
REFLECTION EIGHTREFLECTION EIGHT
My portfolio is tangible evidence of my growth in journalism this year. I have developed strong Photoshop skills, learned how to design for a section and helped produce a yearbook. Having my own section helped me to strengthen my skills in these areas. My biggest growth was defiently with design because the past two years I was working in someone else’s section. My portfolio this year illustrates how I have contributed more. This is especially evident in the clips section where you and see a decent amount of the spreads I designed. In my first portfolio I used a flower brush with a gradient. Now that I glance back over it I think it looks terrible though. Although my second time around I picked up my design a little and used some opacitys with personal pictures to illustrate my photography. As for this year I feel that my portfolio design is much more advanced, as it should be. I like that it isn’t overbearing, but it is something different and intriguing to look at. Designing with triangles is a trend right now, but I like how I was able to put my own spin on it. I think through the years my portfolios have shown a direct correlation to my growth in the class.
