I applied to be editor for my school Newspaper for the 2009-2010 school year last week. In the application we had to answer a bunch of questions and then put together a page that introduced us. The page had to have all of the features of a newspaper and it had to answer four different questions:
1. What qualities do you have that would make you a good editor?
2. Why do you want to be an editor?
3. What are your intentions?
4. What would you keep and what would you change?
I was so determined to make editor that I worked on this almost non-stop for four days. I even spent a whole weekend on it. Everything you see in this picture was made by me (my mom did give me the idea for the title). I even took the picture of myself. It was actually really really fun and I think I came up with a really good product.
Now we are all just waiting to find out what we will be doing as editors for next year. There are four girls that originally tried out and I was the only sophomore amongst them. Today, however, we discovered that one of the people who had originally planned to try out, and then ended up not turning in the application, had decided that she wanted to try out. This is really frustrating.
I do not have anything against this other girl. She is a sophomore as well and she is really nice. She is a great writer. I think it will be really great to be an editor with her. The thing that bugs me is that she got to turn in her application more than a week after we did. That, and now that she is deciding to apply again we all have to wait until the end of the week to find out what is going on. We were supposed to know last Friday.
So, I do not know. It is a frustrating thing. I am way excited about it, though. I think the other three girls who tried out (besides me and the other sophomore) will be really great to work with next year. I think we will put out a great product together.
That is all I know for now. I will keep this updated as I know more. Hopefully we will all know our positions by Friday.
