She's not in this business just because of the awards. She advises because of her love to work with young people. Her influence on her own students and students around the country can never be measured. This has drawn some criticism from parents and administrators who don't always want to see the school portrayed in a negative light, particularly in the yearbook. To Massy, that's not an objective outlook.
Real life has a place in the yearbook.
I am a slave driver and cheerleader rolled into one. I have learned that you rarely get more than you ask for, but if you ask for the best a student can produce and continue to push that student, you may both end up surprised at how far you can go and how much you can achieve. She reaches out to help every student be the best they can be, always with a warm, encouraging smile. Further, Susan keeps up with trends in yearbooks and is eager to share those with students in the summer workshops. She always pushes her own staff, and others she teaches across the country, to produce the best book they can.
