My time with The South Texan started back in February of this semester. It all started out with a press conference that I attended with Dr. Manuel Flores. The press conference involved Head Football Coach Darren Wilkinson and the new recruits they picked over the offseason. He recommended joining The South Texan because not only would it make my writing better, but it would help with any job that would involve writing. The day I joined, there was definitely a lot of nerves and butterflies that came with it. There were two people that kept me going and made me want to get better. Those two are Ms. Nicole Morris and Plaserae Johnson. They would always encourage me when I felt like I couldn’t write. I’ll never forget the meeting with Ms. Morris during which she told me that I had what it took to be a writer. After writing the first few stories, it honestly became fun and started to grow on me. Writing is something that has become a big part of my life and I would like to personally thank The South Texan. I also want to thank Plaserae for always offering to help me and giving me advice.
The South Texan has really taught me some very valuable lessons, and I would like to thank them for allowing me to be a part of their amazing organization The day that graduation comes and I bring my degree home, I will become emotional because I will not be able to attend the meetings every Wednesday with everyone at The South Texan. I’ve made memories with everyone there and I’ll never forget them. Once again, Thank You.
