High School Editorials

Some things I love about high school... same things I take pride of being involved with. Though I missed it in my previous years from freshman (due to my stupid coyness), I'm glad I was finally able to join the school newspaper editorial staff in my senior year. We call it ECHO, for it serves to be the students' voice.

My English teacher had always convinced me to join from the beginning of my freshman year. But I was always shy and conscious to go out of my shell. When I was in grade school, one of my advisers also convinced me to join "The Seedling", but I refused. I preferred to be in my comfort zone, away from everybody and everything else. I remember my Mom always told me that I could have been the editor-in-chief if only I listened to her. She always believed that I am the best when it comes to writing, you bet she's mother! And her faith was even stronger when she was told by my English teacher that there were only two students among the freshman year who can very well write, and I am one of them (the other student transferred to other school, does that make me the only best? hehehe... modesty aside). I should have known that mothers always know best. My regrets are existing, but I am glad I became part of the editorial for the last minute. Up to now, I still hoped that I pursued writing, and followed my dreams to be part of the best newpaper broadsheets in the country.
