A collection of images featuring people and scenery that catch my eye, along with a glimpse into the stories behind them.
“I’m going to have to move out of the area, I can’t afford to live here anymore. There was a time where I didn’t care about how much money I had for rent or meals. I didn’t pay much attention to the economy and I could’ve been a lot better about that.” (Sydney Klausmann)“I have had the grand fortune of loving what I do for work and I’ve done it since 1984. You can stay happy when you do what you love, you know. It’s easy making for happiness, and I’m a pretty happy gal going to my 3rd quarter as I’d call it. Can’t say it was all perfect but I still remained happy.” (Sydney Klausmann)
Sydney Klausmann works hard to finish her article early and walks around the advanced journalism classroom, asking if anyone needs help. Sydney Klausmann completed Intro to Journalism at AHS in her first semester of sophomore year. This path led her to Advanced Journalism, where she writes for the Skier Scribbler. She has written four articles in total. Klausmann's favorite article is an opinion piece on JoJo Swias's rebranding. She is drawn to opinion writing as it comes more naturally to her, "When I have an opinion on something, it means I'm more passionate when I'm writing it." She is excited to continue writing as a staff writer this year and might consider becoming an editor next year. When asked about her thoughts on becoming a journalist, she stated, "I don't know if I would pursue it, but I would enjoy it." She sees herself graduating from college and playing tennis on a coast in ten years. Tennis is a big part of Klausmann's life; she made varsity last year and hopes to do so again during the spring season. She relaxes with a good book under a cozy blanket when she's not swinging rackets. She hopes to write more in the next few years at AHS.
