I sat up noiselessly, in a useless perfection of silence, as if Madden were already lying in wait for me. Something--perhaps the mere vain ostentation of proving my resources were nil--made me look through my pockets. I found what I knew I would find. The American watch, the nickel chain and the square coin, the key ring with the incriminating useless keys to Runeberg's apartment, the notebook, a letter which I resolved to destroy immediately ...

I want you to use at least six different text properties (color, font face, size, alignment, etc.) in the course of the poem/song. Links to CSS text and font info:

Caroline Coughlin

I’m Caroline, I’ve been coming to Tahoe all of my life but I only transferred to SNC in the fall of 2016. I love traveling and have spent a lot of my life on planes to new destinations because of my parent’s jobs; my dad is an airline captain and my mom is a travel agent. Thanks to them I know I want to be able to travel for my job or at least live abroad and work. This summer I will intern in New York and hope to make connections for future employment after I graduate next fall.

Home but far away

Just Another Run Away As far as a name goes, Simon works just fine. I mean there's nothing special or unusul about it, it serves its purpose. Being from somewhere else sounds more exciting than it actually is, and I wouldn't consider one place better than the other, just different. Although those dark streets of Stockholm, Sweden, sounds rather unpleasent in comparesing to the warmth of the west coast sun, having a bit of both simultaneously keeps my mind stimulated and my sources of inspiration spread widely.

Hi, my name is Phealan. I'm a INTD major. I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I chose to come to SNC because I used to live in Auburn so I'm pretty familiar with the area and for what Tahoe has to offer sport and view wise. My hobbies include motocross, skiing, hiking, and cars. I love being outdoors so SNC was the perfect school for me and I'm so glad to be living in such an amazing place.

Mario Herrera

    My Name is: Mario Herrera "Be yourself because an original copy is worth more than a copy" I am from Fortuna, California. I am a senior at Sierra Nevada College. My major is marketing and hope to graduate this year. I love to be adventurous and trying out different things I have never done before. I love spending time with family and friends and living life to the fullest.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4apgP4eVLsk&feature=youtu.be My cousins and I made a video last year in Mexico. It is about a farm worker wanting to change jobs due to the lack of money. Instead of being a farmer, he wants to work as a business man. One of the farmers friends recommended him to a business man and instead of hiring him to work for his business, he hired him to work as a farmer slave at the business mans home farm.

Who am I?

Hello My name is,  Meiasha Gray I am a Fine Arts Major,  I sometimes make work like this: But I do other things too. Music is also a passion of mine, I spend a great deal of time listening to it with my eyes close.  I also spend a great deal of time imagining myself in a jazz band, tearing it up on a saxophone. Oh well, maybe in my next life.  I try to get a lot of reading and writing done. The goal this semester is 20(very good) books. And by writing I mean poetry. basically i'm a "usually," pretty relaxed thinker. Unlike most of my fellow Tahonians I'm not that outdoorsy but that's not to say I don't enjoy a long bike ride or paddle boarding trip here and there. I was born in Detroit Michigan but I moved to Las Vegas at age 11, we never went camping.

helloooo everybody

Helllooooo fellow classmates :) I'm Heidi Peinthor, a  senior at SNC majoring in marketing to pursue a creative career in the outerwear fashion industry. I'm from Grass Valley, a small town in Northern California - not far from SNC - nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.  I enjoy almost anything that involves being outside, from activities Lake Tahoe has to offer such as snowboarding, hiking and climbing to  traveling,surfing, free diving and chasing waterfalls (quite literally). I have always had an interest in fashion production, styling and photography. In 2012, I designed the above dress for a fashion production put on by O'Neill Women's and Teen Vogue magazine. I find my creativity entertaining ideas of how fashion ties in with functionality for the purposes of enjoying the outdoors. 

Rachel Lightner

a little about Rachel Lightner Growing up in southern Oregon, I found a comfort in tall trees and big mountains,  so I made the move to Lake Tahoe to pursue my passion for Journalism & Outdoor Leadership at Sierra Nevada College. I have attended SNC from the start, and am excited to graduate in May and begin the endless journey that lies ahead, with hopes of following my dreams as a writer and educator of the outdoors. All things outside. Snowboard. Climb. Skate. Surf.  Explore.

Chick on the left

Hey, my name is Kela Killam and I'm the chick on the left. I'm from Maui, Hawai'i studying holistik  sustainability at Sierra Nevada College. I view sustainability through 6 lenses: environmental, economic, political, social, cultural, and activism in the attempt to widen the scope and efficiency of global solutions and motivate ideas beyond current mainstream thought processes. I fight for the voices that are oppressed and the lives in danger as a result of capitalism. Nature is my church and tea > coffee. Nobody is better or worse, just different.

Student Profiles Rhett Gause: My name is Rhett Gause and I am a freelance media producer. As a photojournalist, film maker, musician, and an artist I have always been driven by an unquenchable curiosity to explore and tell stories that are beneath the surface.  My passion for climbing, mountaineering, adventure, and exploration permeates my work around cultural, humanitarian, and environmental issues, a crossroads of fields that I truly believe needs critical thinking and heart. I draw upon my own experiences in the field and have centered my work on the culture of those who live a life in the outdoors.  I myself live and have lived this way for a while now, at points living months out of a car and tent, and climbing everywhere from California to Colorado, Utah to Wyoming, and Maine to British Columbia working on my craft—always in pursuit of wide-open country. After studying under Tony O’Brien, a proclaimed photojournalist, in his documentary program in Santa Fe, NM, I have m...

Emma Stenvall I´m a 21-year-old alpine skier from a small town in Sweden called Sundborn. If you don´t see me on the slopes or in school I´m out trying to capture the moments in between with my right eye pressed against my camera. Travel has always been a big part of my life and to capture my adventures has always been of great importance to me. Right now my adventure is being a psychology major here at Sierra Nevada College.  https://www.emmastenvall.com/

Words and pictures are of equal worth.  As a photographer, I capture the truth of the natural world. As a journalist, I tell the whole story. As a human being, I endeavor for what is right.
