Diversity comes naturally in how I choose what to write and cover because of the environment I live in and my desire to understand experiences and lives different from my own. I think this is demonstrated in the examples in my writing portfolio. However, when it comes to large project such as the yearbook, where the entire staff has a piece to cover, its especially important to make sure every student and group or club gets covered. Especially at Hillsborough, where we have both an IB and traditional program, we have to work hard to make sure we are covering all students as proportionally as possible. Especially during Covid, it was easy to try to rely on our friends for winter break travels for example, because we knew where they went and couldn't find anyone else. But to make a yearbook that everyone feels represented by, we have to go out, widen our base, talk to new people, and know when to choose a photo of someone who hasn't been covered before over maybe a better photo of someone whose already been written about five times. To do a better job of this in our yearbook this year, we started to keep track of which students were and covered how many times (see photo on the right). Green means they've been covered once, yellow means twice, red means three times. White means they haven't been covered yet.
