Hallways

When my brother who is now 29 went here, he told me that this school was crazy. He told me that the teachers didn't care enough about the kids' education. There were a lot of illegal things taking place in the hallways, instead of learning in class. All the students that were attending Luke at the time were considered 'bad kids' because of the choices that got them there. Now that I go here, I can actually say that Luke C. Moore has changed inside and out. Kids are no longer concerned with what's going on in the hallways. Graduating is their main priority. When he told me all the experiences he had in my school, I was more proud than judgmental because anyone can see that Luke has changed as a school and as a community.

Independent Women

This picture was taken to show how life is as a teen parent. It's a teenager that has a lot of goals she wants to accomplish in life. And at the same time, she has a lot going on in her life that she just wants to let out and move on in order to succeed with her goals and achieve a better life for her and her child.

Dr. I

This is a picture of a wonderful, strong, helpful lady named Dr. I. She is in her office where I attend twice a week to discuss my problems. She helps me a lot and gets me through my bad days. She is very calm and nice. She always understands me when nobody else does. She is the mother I never had. I enjoy her company every time we talk. When there are times we cannot communicate, I feel angry and upset because I have a lot of things on my chest that I can’t get off. I feel as though we should have a hotline, where other people going through the same problems as me could have the opportunity to call and discuss their problems with various counselors.

Love

Everyone in the building of Luke Moore shows each student much love. I took this photo because even though we all go through things and get mad at each other we still have love for one another. This photo was taken in the hall at the administrative office. This photo shows a lot of emotion. It shows my shadow in the view, the way I'm holding the camera, and the colors express strength.

Portrait with Brother

My brother is a reflection of me. He and my other brother see that I’m in a wheelchair but they see power in this wheelchair. They think: 'Alright, my brother is going to school every day.' Cause I was at a stage where I was just laying in the bed every day. And now they see me getting up at six o’clock, taking a shower, putting my clothes on and going to school, and that’s the type of example I want to set for my brothers.
