It is a bittersweet moment as I put together stories for my last issue of FreepHigh. Saying goodbye to the Stentor, I remember when our past editor was teaching me how to submit stories and how to complete a budget. I was excited to be a new editor but I was also afraid of failing as an editor.
As I look back and remember my months as a fresh new editor, I see that I have grown as a student, a writer, and a person since then. The mistakes I made, the deadlines I missed and the names I misspelled under captions have all been lessons that made me who I am today.
I came to Renaissance not knowing what I wanted to be, and now I am leaving knowing exactly what I want to do with my life — be a journalist.
I owe most of this to FreepHigh and the Detroit Free Press. The Free Press has given me so many opportunities’ that I have used to accomplish feats and to put me closer to my dream job and for this I am forever grateful.
As I start over as a freshman at Michigan State I leave with FreepHigh and The Stentor gratitude, memories and stories.
