ISSUE 4: Senior Letter

JC Thaxton, Senior Staff Writer

Dear Knight Writers,

My time here involving journalism hasn’t worked out completely in my favor. Starting with journalism my freshman year, to then having a weird schedule sophomore year and not getting into this class at all, to then being on the newspaper staff my junior year, and finally, a journalism class second period by myself in my thoughts while Mrs. Webster has ISS coverage. 

A very bumpy path to get me here today. I never seem to have all the stories I need for this class, but that doesn’t stop me for enjoying it. I would definitely say taking journalism is worth it. I met so many amazing people by taking this class. Being able to be with people you enjoy, makes writing a lot better.

As I continue to write, I have learned to love things and not enjoy some things. I have started to enjoy writing opinions a lot; sports previews were interesting too. During my senior year, I finally wrote my first A&E story! It was interesting to do and Cecilia made it easier for me to be confident in that story piece. Last year was an amazing year being with some of my closest friends and the laughs we had made this class so good. Thank you to all the people who helped me with my writing, and you are all appreciated. Goodnight, Knight Writers.
