Hello there! It's been a while. I've just been wrapping up finals and end-of-the-year school projects as we near that funny word...COMMENCEMENT. It's ending! The glorious period of time--maybe not-so-glorious at times--of imperfect adolescent self-discovery and learning and lunch-mastication that is high school. It's so odd to think that I won't be heading back to the familiar campus this fall and even stranger to think about how much my friends and I have changed--or remained unchanged--in the last four years. I certainly don't feel like an adult yet, but I suppose I'll grow into it through college and beyond. Anyway, one of the subjects on which I have ruminated since the early days of my public education is...math. I'll be honest here--math was never quite my favorite class (cue light-up sign behind me: *ARTS AND HUMANITIES*). However, we did finish out my last high school math class on a fun note. It was AP Calculus BC, and we had several options for our post-AP exam projects--one of which was a "children's book." It's in quotes because I don't expect six-year-olds to understand derivatives. Anyway, I opted to write and illustrate one such book, and The Loraximum (a guide to optimistic optimization) was whipped into existence. I thought it'd be appropriate to cap off my senior year with an adaptation of Dr. Seuss' The Lorax, one of my favorite books since my days in elementary school. A sort of sentimental full-circle finish. Check out the full gallery pages below! Hope you enjoy :) To all friends graduating this year as well, here's to a great four years behind us and an exciting future ahead!
Cheers! Clem
