It was Thursday. The location was the classroom of Summit. I was walking toward the exit when I heard my name being called. I turned and saw Mandy Novotony, one of our amazing instructors, looking at me with this hopeful expression on her face. Little did I now that the next words out of her mouth would transform my evening.

"Hey Luke, would you like to write the student update for today?"

I wasn’t going to tell her no, so I said, “Sure”. To which she replied with a big smile on her face, "Great!"

"Did I just say yes?"

"Yes you did," She said.

So from then till now I have been thinking about what to say and came up with this.

 

My day started at 7:30 A.M., after a roommate's alarm clock went off; after which, we all went down to the kitchen and had a great breakfast, followed by class.

Our project for the day was to go downtown to appointed shops and put together a marketing kit for the store, which included making promotional photos and designing three 5x7-inch post cards.

I was put on a team with two fabulous photographers: Jonathan Sloat and Ivanna Robles. It was a challenge, and at times was very stressful. but it was a lot of fun and we learned a ton from the project.

To top off the update, here are some quotes and other student`s thoughts on the day.

 

Stephen Mally: “It feels like I have been here my whole life!”

Daniel Walsh: “Exciting!”

William Sherrer: “I wasn’t really expecting this when I got up this morning!”

Josh Kaufman: “Stressful.”

John Dalrymple: “Spiritually enlightening, photographically challenging, emotionally stirring”
