ABOUT
IMG_7348_Original.jpg

This is my yearbook story.

I was a normal high schooler trying to find my path. Before I spent 3 years in this program, I was lost. I had been in a place of confusion and I thought I had no purpose. I needed to find a passion to keep me alive. I was drowning in the idea that I was nothing. 

 

Then I came across a program that changed my life forever. Within the walls of room 305 I became part of the Grand Blanc High School ECHO staff. I was thrown into the world of journalism. Learning interviewing, photography, transcribing, and AP style writing... these things were just the beginning of what I would learn.

 

I have learned to work in a team with people creatively. I have learned to stay on top of deadlines. I have learned that telling someone's story can change the lives of many, not just one. I have learned that looking at things in a new way will change your view on life. I have learned life is driven by passion. 

 

From 2017-2020 I have spent in this program built me into the person I am today. I am Bella Bupp the photographer. I am now following my dreams all because of this program, and I will never regret the decision of becoming a part of something bigger the Grand Blanc Yearbook ECHO Staff. 

MY ROLE ON STAFF

  • Blanc Slate 2017-2018 

This was my staffer year of yearbook when I learned what it meant to be a journalist. I was working on pages non-stop and joined my fellow staffers in creating a book that showcased our town. 

  • One more thing 2018-2019

My first year as a Photo editor. I was able to teach photography this year. I got to share my passion with the class. I loved working on projects for the program: the photo studio, bootcamp, photographing events, working on pages and simply going on photo shoot with the staffers. 

  • Open Up 2019-2020

This year I returned as a photo editor. I have continued to improve the photo studio. I have pushed myself to teach the staff photography in more creative ways. I always made it a goal to connect one on one with the staffers when answering questions all about photography and Photoshop.
