...the AuthorI am in 10th grade and attend Great Oak High School. In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my family.
I am an active member of the school newspaper, The Great Oak Gazette, and am in fact the Student Life editor, and when the newspaper was not online I was in charge of the layout for this section, which I feel was my greatest contribution to the class. The class in general was very fun and interesting. The most enjoyable part about it was its laid back atmosphere. I was glad to be in a class that was not all work all the time. Without the journalism period I would not have been able to do well in any of my other classes, because this class gave me the opportunity to work on other homework for other classes. I believe that I deserve an A in the class not only because before the Gazette went digital I was a dedicated editor and really enjoyed doing the layout. Yet despite the transition to an online newspaper I remained positive and continued to work hard getting my stories in on time, while still maintaining superb quality. This class has taught me not only a lot about writing but also about the importance of deadlines as well. I wish to thank Ms. Kanawi and the editor-in-chief, Haleigh, for all they have done for the paper, and will miss writing for it next year. |
