About the Contributors
Luis Fuentes, podcaster
Journalism was always fun and I enjoyed taking photos and it taught me a great deal about cameras and how to take photographs. Also I felt like journalism brought out the creativity I didn't know I had. In addition, I felt that what I learned about broadcasting might make for a great a career, because I want to have my own podcast about sports. Class of 2025
Osvaldo "Ozzy" Hernandez, Photographer
I am in the class of 2025. When I am not in school I usually like to do my favorite hobbies like play soccer or volleyball. Some things I learned in my journalism class is the use of lighting and positioning of objects and myself or others for portraits. I took the position as a reporter and I enjoyed the times where I've been needed. I also like to try to go to new positions but I have experience with taking pictures for the school's sports teams.
Imani Canada, reporter
Imani Canada is a 16-year-old junior who will graduate in 2026 from Augustus F. Hawkins. She enjoys reading, taking pictures, eating, and painting. She tends to enjoy being at school and playing sports such as flag football and softball. She also enjoys spending time with her friends in and out of school. One thing she dislikes about school, though, is taking tests as she tends to get distracted and panic, but then she ends up getting the grade she wanted. She hopes she can overcome her fear of taking tests to enjoy school more.
