Cheyene Howell, Photo Editor

Cheyene Howell  a senior at Ada High School, is in her third year of journalism. As a photo editor of The Cougar Call, Howell plans to focus primarily on photography. In her first ans second year Howell placed first at state competition for online video package, photo gallery and feature photo.

When not working on her next assignment, she enjoys relaxing at home with her three siblings and her favorite food: the original mac and cheese. However, life is not all about couch surfing and cheesy goodness for Howell, she has a passion for adventure and the great outdoors, as evidenced by her hobbies: playing basketball and climbing mountains. She also has a desire to learn the Russian language and travel to Moscow, and she plans to attend the university of East Central.

"It feels no different to be a citizen. Really I was one before I just didn't have the paper work to prove it. The process of becoming a citizen, well, it's a lot paper work and they have to process it and then you go take the oath for your citizenship. And a fun fact is like everyone that was at the swear in were all Chinese kids that had there citizenship taken away. The reason I got my citizenship taken was because over the years since I was adopted there was a time from 1996-2006 that was the grandfather period. So we were all grandfathered in. Basically when you are an international adoption, when you touch U.S soil you are automatically a citizen but they never gave paper work to prove it. I was really angry because I tried to get an Oklahoma licences transfer from New York and for some reason they wouldn't do a transfer. They said I had to retake my road test and I didn't think that was a big deal. I went to take my road test and they said I couldn't because I didn't have proof that I was a citizen and that was a huge set back on me and I felt really bad for my mom because she had to drive me around all of the time and I needed to start depended on other people all the time for rides. It sucked because I didn't want to have to take time out of someone else's day but they were nice enough to help me out." Deborah Thornton.

“As a new student at Ada High School I am really enjoying the new teachers. They are very helpful. I really like the off campus lunch, and I’m not really used to starting school so early or the different bell schedules and I'm not really used to that. I’m mostly excited about playing basketball and getting to be a part of a team." -Carizma Nelson

I took this photo because the man that made this stone castle built it only by hand. It was amazing and looked beautiful.

I took this photo because I thought it stood out from all the other dandelions One is completely bloomed and the other is not. I thought it was very unique because the dandelion in bloom has such a large blossom.

"I think the high school is actually very cool. It's definitely different from the junior high. It gives off the impression of being bigger than the junior high and more extensive than the junior high. Of course the classes are a little high level, which is nice. There is a general sense of freedom. I do appreciate that." Eli Grasso
