On September 6 and 7, 2012, students, teachers, and staff had to look their best for their annual ID picture. The event took a lot of preparation from the Yearbook staff who diligently organized names, classrooms, and English teachers prior to this date and narrowed down any room for mistakes. The days started as early as 6:00am with teachers coming to the auditorium looking elegant and sharp to take their pictures, and ending almost after the last bell rang at 2:20pm when the team would pack up for the next day.

Mrs. Zuniga, the academy leader and yearbook advisor, made sure that this task was done with excellence as she supervised every position, need, and function presented throughout the auditorium. It was two days of intense work and organization, but that didn’t mean that the staff members couldn’t have fun as they danced and sang along with the viral Korean music video known as “Gangnam Style.” At the end of the day, the mission was accomplished. Although there were tired legs, drained bodies, and hungry stomachs, another successful round of underclassmen picture days was accomplished.

About the Contributor

Raul Flores, Raul Flores, Director of Gables Live!

Raul Alejandro Flores was born and raised in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, but shortly after he moved in with his mom & stepdad to Miami, FL at the age of 15. Attending a new school was a bit harsh and adventurous for him, but he quickly found his passion and purpose in God. While in his church, he started to serve in the TV ministry, and quickly learned all the basics of live production TV. Regardless of his quick learning and experience, his passion and hunger to learn outgrew his weekly service, and he started his knowledge journey by himself. Google, Youtube and a few programs were his teachers and counselors, and soon God opened doors for him to gain more experience through people and organizations such as Univision, Radio Zoe and CC Media Productions were he had some great opportunities to learn and showcase his abilities. His desire to prepare people and impart what he had learned led him to “Gables Live!” the daily broadcast and TV production of Coral Gables Senior High, where he now serves as the director and producer of the many videos and movies that are made. There are a couple of things that drag this young guy’s heart and that is to see people do what he does, and God, and when he is not between these two, he finds himself with his family, friends, (or at McDonalds eating) and thinking on the next step to make history.
