Senior Goodbyes

Elana Ho Emma Nelson Alexandra Decker

I loved my time on staff, not only because it taught me so many things, but because I got to meet and work alongside the best people and capture the student body and community of Free State in a different way. There are definitely so many events and things that I never would’ve gone to or tried had it not been for my time on staff, and it wouldn’t be an understatement to say that it showed me how to see things through a different lens. Some of my favorite high school memories are from being on the journalism staff, I’ll miss everyone next year!

Being on journalism staff has allowed me to make friends and connections. I have learned so much about our world and what role journalism plays in it. I’m so thankful for all the staffers, editors and Ms. Folsom.

While on staff, I have enjoyed forming connections with people I wouldn’t have otherwise met. I have loved the overall experience of improving my design skills and learning many other skills. I’m grateful for the opportunity to help create The Free Press this year. I have only been a part of the Journalism staff for a semester, but everyone has treated me as if I’ve been here a while. At first, I was having trouble learning all of these new techniques and InDesign online, but I got a lot of help and learned so much!

STAFF NOTES

My favorite thing about being on staff was going to Chicago and Washington D.C, not only did we go learn more about journalism, but we got to go sightseeing, too. My favorite thing about being on staff was the supportive environment the other staff members created and the trips that resulted in a lot of bonding time! My favorite part about journalism has been making friends with people who I normally wouldn’t get the chance to talk to if we weren’t on staff together.

I really enjoyed being a part of such an amazing and hardworking staff and getting so many opportunities to learn and grow while refining skills that I didn’t know I would use in basically every part of my life. I really enjoyed being on staff, because I got to interact with all different types of people from throughout the school and write about interesting topics. I really enjoyed talking to people at my school that I would have never talked to and watching the yearbooks, newspapers and online publications develop over time.
