Working at The South Texan has been an experience that I will remember for a long time.<\/p>\n\n

Though writing for the newspaper has been short for me, I wished that I had taken the initiative to participate.<\/p>\n\n

I started writing for The South Texan literally two months ago. I decided that it was time for me to participate in writing when my friend, Iliana, mentioned it to me again. I think it was one of the best moves I\u2019ve made in the past year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n

I found a way to use my love for writing with The South Texan. Working with all the students and the adviser has improved my writing. I found ways to work my way through college, and to incorporate writing into my lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n

I just wish that I had put away that fear of putting too much on my plate and just participated in writing. The people at The South Texan helped me find a way to work with my schedule, and I appreciate that so much.
Working as a reporter has made me more confident and has helped me with my writing. I just find it sad that I did not join it till now. I feel as if The South Texan is like a safe place for some people.<\/p>\n\n

The people are always welcoming and helpful when it comes to writing. Everyone at The South Texan is so sweet and so kind.<\/p>\n\n

Literally working with them has been one of the highlights of my time at TAMUK.<\/p>\n\n

I remember when I took a class with the adviser of The South Texan, Ms. Nicole Morris, and I remember how vibrant and exuberant she was. Meeting Morris was a great thing for me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n

I found a professor that I could reach out to and who understood the student dynamic. She asked me to become a writer for The South Texan sometime during my first semester in college.<\/p>\n\n

The pressure of working, going to school and keeping up with the homework was a lot, so I denied the opportunity, but she reminded me that if I was ever interested in writing that The South Texan would be right there and welcoming.<\/p>\n\n

I wish I had put myself out there and tried to participate. These past two months have been great, and I am so glad that I got the opportunity to write for The South Texan.<\/p>\n\n

Ms. Morris, Aryssa, Iliana and Darcy have been super helpful. There are so many ways that working here has improved me as a person and as a writer. I am more than thankful for all the opportunities that were given to me.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
