A yearbook is a tradition in some high schools.The book contains the name and the picture of
each student in your final year,so that you can remember who you went to school with.
A 15-year-old schoolgirl Catherine Cook and her brother Dave,16,wanted more than this.
They thought,"We don't really know our classmates from just a picture,so why not have a
yearbook online?You could learn about people's musical tastes,the movies they like,and so on."
With their hard work,a website named my Yearbook was set up,which soon became popular
among schoolmates.
On the website,members can connect with each other by sharing movies,music,photos and
study guides.Some students feel that they don't fit in at school,but can make friends more easily
online.My Yearbook users can also make virtual "Lunch Money"by completing activities on the
website.They then give it away to charities in the my Yearbook "causes"programme,which has
sent about 22,000 books to Africa,and bought about 20,000 kilos of rice for people without
enough food.
Running the website did not stop Catherine and Dave from completing their schoolwork
successfully.Now,they go on to university,but still manage to put in 50 hours a week developing
the website.
