I want to be in Yearbook next year cause I think it'll be really fun taking pictures of almost everything. I   might not be able to be in here because I have to be double blocked for basketball but I hope I am able to join this class. I want to be a student who gets to see how the yearbook is going to be before anyone else does. I like taking pictures and making them look really cool so I hope I can do that for yearbook.
