I love this job. I would not trade it for a another position on ASB. Not even the President (nothing against the president). If I was a Junior I would definitely reapply for this job. My photography journey started about a year ago and I've grown so much not only as a photographer but as a person as well. My perspective on photography has completely changed. My life goals have changed. I alot has changed. My personality has changed too. Being historian enable me to not only capture memories but also create memories. I owe most of it to ASB. Wurm is the hardest working Activies Director, teacher, and coach. NOBODY DOES IT LIKE WE DO! OUR ASB IS THE HARDEST WORKING ASB IN THE BAY AREA, MAYBE CALIFORINA. Yes you've heard me. Examine at the photos see for yourself. Unfortunately, I'm a senior and I need someone to take my place and live it up. Are you ready to learn? Ready for a challenge? Ready to be inspired? Ready to be a leader?

Hey stop clownin' around! The Junior's theme was great. I loved it! It's fun to see people paint their faces! It's not often that you paint your face. This was my first time painting my face in a long long time. You usually paint your face on Halloween or if you're a hardcore sports fan or a person who likes make up. The lunchtime activities was interesting and fun. The game was called Clowns Wanted. The participants had to juggle, do cartwheels and ride tricycles. I'm part of the activies team so we've been planning and creating these lunchtime activities game for the past month. It was a blast.

Or
