My name is Flora Hughes, and I’m currently a sophomore at Herron High School. Originally, I’m from Fort Worth, Texas, but I moved to Indiana just under two years ago. Moving to a new place and adjusting to a different environment has been a big change, but I’ve also found some exciting opportunities along the way. One of those opportunities was joining Herron’s yearbook program, which I was initially drawn to because of my love for photography. Taking photos has always been something I’ve enjoyed, and I thought this would be a great way to combine my passion with something creative.

However, once I joined the yearbook team, I quickly realized that there’s so much more to the program than just taking pictures. I’ve learned about teamwork, design, and storytelling, all of which are essential for creating a memorable yearbook. It’s been a rewarding experience to be part of something bigger than myself, and I’ve gained valuable skills that will help me in the future. Looking back, I’m incredibly thankful that I decided to join the yearbook program when I did, and I’m excited to see what the future holds.
