I joined the school newspaper. I was a writer. I was determined to write good articles. The challenge was to find interesting stories. I had to interview people. I had to meet deadlines. I had a responsibility to get the facts right. I learned to appreciate how much work goes into a newspaper. The paper had a positive influence on the school. People read it. It became a tradition to publish every month. Our community was the staff. We worked together. We had achieved something we were proud of. I had discovered that writing could make a difference. I would never forget my first byline. The newspaper had changed how I saw the school. I was grateful for the experience.
