This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for March 06, 2009:
Some people spend hours in the gym, trying to build their muscles and sculpt their bodies... I prefer to exercise my mind. That's what I love about school! It's a mental workout.
I have a very curious mind... school feeds my curiousity. Teachers don't always give you the answers, but they give you the tools you need to find the answers for yourself. What could be better than that?
In high school I was an overachiever. I was in the marching band (2nd chair flute), psychology club, spanish club, drama... I did indoor track, gymnastics, played softball (MVP sophmore year)... I was editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and organizations editor and head photographer for the yearbook. I wanted to get as much as I could out of my high school experience. I'd say mission accomplished! :)

Wow, Mona. I’d say so too. (Of those, which was your favorite? editing or photography? or can you pick? ;)
Both! I liked editing because it gave me a sense of control. I was in charge of every aspect of the paper and I liked that responsibility. But I also liked helping the younger journalists find their voices and fine tune their articles. I hope that I inspired them to be the best writers that they could be…(Thus my title: Muse) I liked photography because… I like capturing people that don’t know I’m there. People are really beautiful when their guard is down and they don’t know they’re being watched.
