Sophia sanders (321) 243 6878 sophiasanders18@gmail.com ig: _ssanders Renee Burke Yearbook Adviser Legend Yearbook 1000 E. Kaley St. Orlando FL, 32806 Dear Ms. Renee Burke: I thoroughly enjoyed my first year as a Legend Yearbook staffer. Now that I am eligible for an editor position, I would like to apply for the role of copy editor. As I have developed a connection with the publication and the people that come with it I have built a desire to contribute as much as I possibly can. I believe I can use what I learned this year on staff to positively influence our publication and the 2017 yearbook. This past year on staff I wrote the body copy for every deadline I was a part of. Each edit I received allowed me to gain knowledge about AP style that I previously lacked. My writing constantly developed throughout the year, allowing my spelling and grammar skills to become stronger. As copy editor I would be able to assist staffers, allowing them to develop their talents. I fully understand the commitment of the copy editor position, and I am prepared to face all the challenges I am presented with while making time to assist the staff when needed. I appreciate you considering me for the role of copy editor. I will meet with you regarding your decision. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Respectfully yours,
Sophia Sanders Enclosed: Resume

I never thought I would end up in a journalism program. I always struggled with reading, and in third grade found out I was dyslexic. I could not read the directions for an assignment and instead of helping me understand, my teacher put me in the hall. After that my mother decided to home-school me, and I have never been more grateful. I was home-schooled through the Classical School at The First Academy. During my two years of education there my curriculum forced me to read. I also focused heavily on grammar, diagramming sentences and learning about all the different punctuation and when to use it. After I left the Classical School I possessed impeccable grammar skills. English, the class I previously hated, was my favorite part of the day.
street, who was the copy editor at the time. I quickly dismissed the thought until another journalism student resparked my interest in seventh grade. I decided to join. Freshman year was my first real exposure to journalism. I realized that the writing was completely different, I had never heard of InDesign, and I was too shy to go on interviews or take photos at crowded events. Sophomore year when I joined staff I had no choice but to become more confident talking to people and taking photos. I had to put my insecurities behind to do what was best for the Legend Yearbook staff. All the skills I learned in Journalism 1 were refined with each deadline. Collaboration with fellow classmates opened me up to new ideas. I discovered that I had a passion for journalism and writing.
