 I want to be in Yearbook for next year because i enjoy taking pictures. I want to learn how to use the camera correctly without any help. I think its fun to take pictures because taking pictures isn't just a picture, it means more than that. A picture is a memory or art. I want to finish this class to get a cord for graduation just because i think that the more cords, the better. It'll make me feel good about myself and remind me that i accomplished something important that i can make a career out of. I learn in this class and i have fun.
