A week before Junior year ended I was to pick my classes for Senior year, not exactly knowing what journalism class would have to offer, I chose it with no second thoughts.

At first I struggled with the formatting of articles, ensuring I provided enough information, and most importantly never getting a picture from google to include in my article.

Getting used to interviewing people, writing articles before deadline, and fixing my mistakes once my paper was checked made me realize how far I had gotten in a span of time.

Mrs. Lockhart has been a major influence on my writing journey, teaching me that I’m capable of more than I realize and encouraging me to think outside the box.

Working with my classmates was easy since they were diligent and we all helped one another when necessary.

Thanks to Mrs. Lockhart and Journalism class I have improved my writing skills and have learned how to express my opinions more effectively.

I’m beyond grateful I joined Journalism—not only did I build meaningful bonds with the girls in my class, but I also discovered more about myself along the way.
