기술을 쌓고 지역사회에 봉사하는 인디펜던스 고등학교의 자전거 수리 프로그램

인디펜던스 고등학교에서 자전거를 고치는 것은 단순히 렌치를 돌리는 것 이상의 의미를 갖습니다.
We are thrilled to congratulate Veronica Gao and Creed Ford for their outstanding achievements as National PTA Reflections Winners!
This year’s Reflections theme, “Accepting Imperfection,” inspired students across the country to express themselves through art, writing, music, and more. Here in Utah, 17,855 entries were submitted across all categories and divisions.
Veronica and Creed’s first impressed judges at the school level, then advanced to win at the Council Level (schools that feed into their high school cluster). Their work continued to shine at the Region and then the State Level, where only one entry per category and division moved on to Nationals.
At the National Level, they rose above the competition, placing third among approximately 230 total national winners—an incredible accomplishment! Utah had 20 national winners this year, more than any other state!
As National Excellence winners, Veronica and Creed each received a $200 scholarship, a silver medal, and an official certificate from the National PTA.
We are so proud of their dedication, talent, and creative courage. Their success is an inspiration to students across the state!
The theme for next year’s Reflections Program is “I Belong.” We encourage all students to start thinking and creating now. Your voice matters, your story is important, and your art can make a difference.
Congratulations again, Veronica and Creed!
We are all mosaics of who we have loved. We are imperfect collages sewn together from the pieces of our lives. The first step to accepting imperfection is to learn how to sew together your pieces to become who you are. My piece represents the beauty in being imperfect and how being imperfect is beautiful in and of itself.

Lately in my photography, when things don’t go as expected, I’ve learned if I can accept imperfection, the end result can be even better than I imagined. I wanted to tell this story through film. The photographer in my film sets out to capture the sunset, but isn’t able to get the perfect shot. Feeling defeated, the photographer gazes at the stars, and realizes they would make a good photo. By accepting imperfection, the photographer was able to get a even better photo then they originally planned on.
