Yvanna Reyes, Video Chief
Hello!
My name is Yvanna Reyes. The class of 2017-2018 marks my final year of high school, third year at Sycamore High School, and second year on the journalism staff.
Through journalism, I have been able to creatively express myself through three of my passions; making films, writing, and instilling a sense of community in others.
With the exception of my conquests in journalism, I look to subjects like psychology, English, and chemistry to express these three things.
As high school has progressed, my extrovertedness has, to my own surprise, grown exponentially. In doing so, I found myself going from a Model UN attendee to President of the club; from having an interest in medicine to interning at the Mercy Health Explorers program; and from being a regular ol’ journalism student to Video Chief and Social Media Director.
Outside of school, I unwind by playing music and making short films. I enjoy singing, practicing guitar (acoustic and electric), and playing the ukulele.
By being a part of the journalism community, I hope to not only practice rigor and discipline, but also find pride in the work that I contribute to this school.
Cheers to a great year!

Junior Allie Ross went to Kenwood Mall and sat directly next to strangers for as long as possible. “I could tell that [people] were uncomfortable and confused with the fact that I was not following the expectations of a personal space barrier, but I continued on anyway, Ross said.](https://shsleaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/yreyes-900x666.jpg)
