Q & A with Kelsey Nelson

-

By Janie Phillips

Have you picked up any new hobbies during quarantine?
Yeah I’ve started walking my dog a lot more and it’s really nice outside and I enjoy it so I started doing it everyday.

What have you been doing to stay active during this time?Me and my sister work out a lot and we go running sometimes.

What do you miss about "normal" life?I miss going out to eat, hanging out with friends, going to school normally and having after school sports.

What aspect of this situation is the most stressful for you?I think the most stressful part is not knowing anything about what’s going to happen because no one knows anything for sure about this and a lot of news isn’t accurate.

What are you doing to cope with that stress?I’ll just relax and keep busy to keep from worrying about how long this will go on.

What have you learned from this experience?
I've learned that sometimes we need some time for everything to stop so you can do things you’ve always wanted to do and hang out with your family. Also it teaches you how to keep busy.

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

Where do you see yourself in five years?           I see myself in college, maybe in France or somewhere else in Europe.  What are your aspirations in life ?            I hope to be a doctor and make a lot of money.    What do you value more economic wealth or happiness?           I would like to say happiness but to be honest economic wealth is what I value more. If you could choose a dream future what would be in it?                 Probably living in Portland or Europe, living in a big house with economic freedom to do what I                want too. I would also like to be a doctor.
