This next gem in my photo collection is the masterminded plan of mine to not only lie and scheme my way into an official event of statewide importance but also to win a dollar bet I had made with a friend. Proving to her that not only do I never back down from a bet, but that I am a far superior human being. Here’s the condensed version. My actions committed in the following story legally are questionable, morally inept but well worth the risk I took. With my extensive creativity and resources, I used my schools art room to create a fake press pass, which I used the schools version of Photoshop to edit and make a press pass required for admittance, then during school hours, sped to the laminator, getting pulled over for going 59 in a 30mph zone, begging my way out of ticket, finally getting the pass laminated. I used my charm on the phone and talked with the coordinator of the WIAA, who granted me special permission to become the only student allowed to film the Washington State Swim and Dive Championships from the pool deck. The rest of the story is quite basic: using the press pass, and a fake note, I proceed to sneak down into the press room for free sandwiches and fruit, and walk all over the pool deck recording whatever I pleased. Oh did I mention the $10,000 dollar camera on my shoulder. That was free to use for the weekend because I told my local broadcasters it was for a school project.
