Death Doesn't Take "No" For An Answer

Here's a short, fun and maybe inspirational story! The final project of my second quarter almost failed me (I mentioned that in an earlier post). Luckily, my mom works with a girl who used to be my upperclassman and a great photographer. She gave me the girl's phone number and told me to call her if I have questions. During my struggle to do my final project (which was photographing graveyards), I gave her a call. She told me of a graveyard she once shot in downtown Buford. I went there a few times (thinking I was going to get mugged or killed -- it was in the ghetto), but shooting anyway. All I wanted to do was pass, with any grade in the B range. To my surprise, my teacher only had one problem with my pictures (they were too dark). Other than that she liked them (I think). I was to go through a similar scenario with my third quarter final project; that story is a little different though. The moral (if there is one): don't give up. When you think you've done something as much as you can, do it one more time.
