Draven Rodriguez, a senior at Schenectady High School in upstate New York, doesn't ask for much in life.
But he's had one simple dream since last year: he wants his yearbook photo to be the following professional picture, snapped of him and his cat, Mr. Bigglesworth, along with a handful of lasers.
"I'm not trying to make any statement," Rodriguez told The Daily Gazette. "Other than my photo is ridiculous and this is how I am."
Anticipating a negative response from the administration, Rodriguez preemptively started an online petition to allow for the image's inclusion in the upcoming edition of the yearbook.
"I don't want to go in the yearbook with the generic 'I-look-like-everyone-else' photo," he told the Gazette. "I wanted a 'He looks great. Only he would try that' photo."
We love it, and we're glad that a compromise appears to have been reached:
The unique photograph will NOT appear in the portraits section of the yearbook, but school district spokeswoman Karen Corona says the school will find a place somewhere within the tome's pages.
And that's good enough for Rodriguez, our new hero. We can't wait to read some of his funny yearbook quotes.
