~MY PASSIONS AND PLANS~
       My interests and passions are Fashion and Photography. Having a Fashion club and Photography club in Laton High School, would really help students to be involved in school. From what I see, many students love photography and fashion. Fashion can help students express themselves without saying a word. Photography can help students capture memorable and important moments in their lives.
       In the Fashion club we can learn how to sew, learn about the industry, learn about running a fashion business, and even have a fashion show to raise money for the club. By the research I've done I found that FIDM donates money for schools who want to start a fashion club. FIDM is mostly interested in small schools that have never had a fashion club, which is perfect for Laton High School. In order to receive money from FIDM, we would have to fill out a application which is due on December 31, 2014. Of course, we would need to find a teacher to run the club, but I am also more than happy to help with the club.
        For the Photography club we can learn about correct lighting, what type of camera to use, how to edit photos, and we can also have a photo-shoot. With the photo-shoot pictures we can create a gallery or a slideshow for the school to see. In order, to have the photography club we would need an experienced photography teacher.
