Description My little cousins told me that I was in the Saturday newspaper, and I didn't really believe them until they had shown me this! I've never really been on the newspaper before, yet haven't a picture taken for it either. Well, this was on Friday Feb. 4 and I was one of my homeroom class's representatives to take care of the money that goes to our assistant principal, and take the poster that we've made around the gym area for everyone to see. It was a pep rally, so the whole entire school was there. That's me on the right side, and that's the other representative for our homeroom class. I don't look much like my fursona do I? Well that's because I used to have long hair, then my mom decided to chop it off. The funny thing was, when the Hickory Daily Record photographer asked for our names, we both replied, "Samantha" and he was surprised. XD Now that's funny. He also took the picture at a slanted view, but that's okay. Here's what the article said about the event:
Students declare 'Hawks have Heart'
Northview Middle School kicks off month-long tsunami relief effort
BY SUZANNE JACKSON
Record Staff Writer

Hickory
Northview Middle School's gymnasium was filled with cheering students and faculty Friday. A pep rally celebrated the start of a month-long effort to raise money for southeast Asia tsunami victimes. Instead of a one-time event, the students plan activities throughout February. The fund-raising theme, "Hawks have Heart," consists of several events:
1) Purchasing paper hearts for a dollar honoring a person.
2) Snack awards for students this week.
3) At a Valentine's Day dance this Friday, students can offer a dollar donation and be a part of a pizza party.
At the end of the month, all proceeds will be given to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.
If you would like to contribute to Northview Middle School's tsunami fund-raising events, call Susan Propst or Arlene Lail at 327-6300. ON THE NET: [link]

lol I try to make my fursona resemble and represent me in the best way I can. I look a whole lot different from that picture though. ^_^ The hair style on Sam is pretty close to the current one I have right now.

nice, yeah i try to do the same thing with my character, for instance, like how, whenever you change hair styles, your character changes hair style.
i dyed my hair black, so now my characters hair is black ^_^ and it's parted, it doesn't cover half my face as much as it used to =3

Amazing-majistic! I love it whenever we can change our characters and fit them with such outrageous clothings that really suit our tastes of style. ^_^ No wonder why your Nate has black hair with blue highlights in it... That's pretty neat! Actually, one part of my hair covers 1/4 of my face, but I haven't drawn that in yet.

Yes, it is cool. But I would never thought of being on the newspaper. X.x Let alone have a reason for it. I've seen my other classmates on the newspaper, and sometimes I wonder how they got on there. But then I guess this was a major event about the tsunami victims, and the photographer chose us to be in the picture. :fire-litephoto:
