Features Editor
Throughout the three years that I have been an active member of The All State, I have had the privilege to meet and interview people who have stood out among their peers here at APSU, as well as cover events such as the 2006 MudBowl.
However, it is not these things I will remember most about my time as both a writer and an editor.
The people I have worked with have truly been an inspiration to me.
It is not easy to give up a full night of studying and homework in order to work together to publish an issue of TAS.
However, it is a tradition here at APSU that I hope will continue for many years to come.
Nonetheless, these people have been able to keep their grades up, work their bottom off to interview, write, and publish the paper and still have time to have a life that for most involves other activities and jobs both on and off campus.
The friendships I have gained through this experience have meant the world to me.
To have someone to rant to and share memories with is one of the blessings that I have received from this experience that I will never forget. Unfortunately, this semester for me was not an easy one. I have had to balance many tasks that have taken me away from truly being an active and outgoing member of the editorial board here at TAS.
As I have spent my time not only in the classroom as a student teacher, but out of the classroom planning, learning, and preparing materials, I have not truly had the time or energy into putting my all into each and everyone of my designs.
As Friday, May 7, rolls around, I continue to plan for my future. I may not be an active member of the editorial board or even an occasional writer.
Yet I feel comfortable leaving my days here at the paper behind. It is my belief the upcoming leadership of the features section is now ready to take full control of the reins.
Adios amigos. It has been fun being your features editor.
