Anna Klein: Stuck in the Munich Airport

-

Trying to pick a story to tell was pretty difficult, not because I have too many stories, but because I don’t have any. My life is quite boring, but I chose this story because it literally relates to borders. My story is about coming home from a vacation and missing a flight because my grandpa’s green card expired. 

When telling this story to classmates I had to learn to leave out the less important parts. Originally my story was 10 minutes long so I had to practice removing things that didn’t add to the story. I really enjoyed the storytelling project because I enjoyed hearing my classmates stories and enjoyed the process of actually telling a story.

Both stories I listened to were very interesting and I learned that a lot of my classmates have similar experiences to mine. As for me, I learned that my life isn’t as boring as I thought it was.

    I also had to remember to leave out minor parts of the story - your story sounds pretty interesting!

Guest post by rising sophomore Sandra Thein, photos courtesy of Kelly Ryu and Emilie Kono I love those college YouTube videos: “2018 COLLEGE DECISION REACTIONS - IVY LEAGUE AND MORE!” The enthusiasm and gratitude the applicants radiate upon hearing where they will be spending the next four years of their lives is inspiring and motivating for a high school student like me.  I'm also inspired by students closer to home. Graduating senior Emilie Kono is a student athlete with a love for science and music. "Bo th in and outside of school," says Kono, "my family, friends, coaches, teachers and mentors have all been incredibly supportive in pushing me to reach my full potential; I can’t thank them enough! I knew that I wanted to be at an academically high achieving school and Stanford was an excellent choice. Between the incredible professors, facilities and some of the brightest students in the nation, I knew that I would be lucky to join them.” The only ...

By Faith Pauken, www.cardinaltimes.org staff member All photos by Faith Pauken Photojournalism is a form of journalism that provides images to aid in the telling of a story or news. Pictures contribute to the overall perception one may have about an article. By giving the reader a visual, they’re able to imagine what the event looked like, whether that’s showing what 100,000 people look like during a protest, or the face of an artist. During my journey through photography over the last year, I’ve been able to expand my knowledge on what makes a good photo, how to track people down and how to manage unexpected obstacles. Football/Sports Photography My personal favorite event to photograph for the last two years has been football. The fall sports season is packed with events having football easily be the most popular event on a Friday evening which makes it an important event to capture. If someone misses one game they feel like they missed out; this is where my job ...
