About Me
My name is Makenna Nystedt and I am a student at Legend High School. I was born in Englewood, Colorado, and I have lived in Parker, Colorado my entire life.
I am an athlete, a mathematician, an author, a designer, a photographer, a scientist, a social scientist, a daughter and a friend. I am not just a number or a blank face among many others. Each one of these define who I am as a person.

One of my greatest passions is photography. For years I have loved taking pictures of places I have visited, interesting things I see and pictures that I would love to frame. My Freshman year of high school, I took a photography class which taught me the basics of how to use a camera, and how to change the settings. This class really helped me understand all the different types of photography and their importance in the world. From their I have continued to pursue my passions, doing many projects on the topic.
Writing poetry, stories, and other styles is also something I am passionate about. These types of writing allow me to express myself and I can pour out my emotions onto a page without judgement. My freshman year, I was encouraged by my amazing English teacher to submit my poetry to the America Library of Poetry's national competitions. Over the thousands of applicants, I was chosen to be published in the National Poetry novels, Imagine, Treasured and Futures. For me this was a huge accomplishment because I never felt like my writing was good or had meaning. I love writing and I feel like I can achieve great things. My next step in my writing career is to keep submitting, in hopes that I might be a division winner and/or more published pieces.
In school, I am currently in the DECA and FBLA programs. DECA focuses on marketing and FBLA focuses on business. I joined these two programs because my career goal is to go into the business and marketing field. Both DECA and FBLA provide me beneficial knowledge and experience for what my future might look like. DECA is an amazing club to join because I have learned a lot about different marketing situations and how you have to present to senior management as well as how to create compelling presentations. FBLA is just as beneficial because I was able to learn more about what it takes to be in a business environment. Both these clubs are helping me learn more about the future career I want to have and are giving me a head start in understanding the requirements and skill sets I need to be successful.
