 Feature Article- 

Kenzie Najjar is a junior at Sarasota High School in the AICE Program. Kenzie is in several clubs at the school and participates in basketball outside of school. I met up with Kenzie over winter break on December 27th to ask her some questions. Kenzie has played basketball since she was 5 years old. She had a major injury to her knee when she was about 10. This injury put a devastating pause on her sport. After several months off and months of physical therapy, she has been back and better than ever. Kenzie was on the team that every girl player dreamed about. They won serval tournaments and championships. She loves this sport and wants to use her knowledge to teach younger kids not only basketball skills but teamwork, dedication, and competitive skills. Kenzie Najjar trains 26 hours a week while juggling school work, a job, and a healthy sleep schedule. She uses everything she has learned in basketball and incorporates it into her everyday life. Still a junior
in high school, she has made so many accomplishments and has several goals she wants to reach by the end of high school and college...…

I asked her questions including "What is it like being a young female athlete?" and "What has been a motivation factor in your journey as an athlete?" I recorded her answers and I am going to include them in my feature article. Kenzie put on her basketball uniform so I could take some pictures of what she does. I took some action pictures and some still pictures to showcase throughout my magazine, including some simple pictures of the basketball and hoop so I can make my magazine very fun and interesting. I learned through this experience how to work professionally with someone and how I can use a camera and be creative by taking action ...

 After presenting and getting feedback on our magazine we decided to change some things up to make it perfect. All of our edits to our magazine took place in InDesign where we had the tools to make changes possible.

For example, we went to a field and re-did Collins dance shots but mine and Aidan's were already good for our issues. After we made all ...
