She started her sophomore year learning how to make a yearbook. She learned how to use layout programs, effectively use vivid pictures and efficiency to form stories that would capture students attention. She has helped former students from her high school by guiding them in the year book process. She moved from yearbook projects to helping publish and write news stories every two weeks.
She got moved to the position of editor in chief where she would help students with ideas on stories as well as edit their rough drafts before papers were set to publish.
She published every two weeks an editorial in the school newspaper as well as help construct the layout of the newspaper. She worked hand and hand with her teacher as she learned how to professionally organize the content of the newspaper. She has effectively learned how to meet deadlines, organize newspapers and yearbooks and has had a lot of experience with the camera works as well as writing.
Journalistic accomplishments she is proud of at the University of Texas at Austin :Sound-slide Project and Video Project where she also learned how to use different editing tools, gain more experience with cameras and interact more with her peers in capturing relevant stories.

The video provides information information on the differences in clothes that are being on them represented by the groups and it helps identify them.

A professor in the sociological department also discusses the Looking-glass Self concept and how the clothing choices these groups make impact their self-image and perceptions. My partners were Theresa Callaway an Brandon Barborka.
