Ever since writing my first article at the Six Mile Post at Georgia Highlands College in 2014, I have spent my entire college experience in some form of journalistic capacity, with my latest assignment as editor-in-chief of the Sentinel.
That being said, I could not express how much I have loved every minute of it. Ending almost four years of journalism as the editor-in-chief of this outstanding newspaper is a fairy tale ending not suited for people like me.
I have appreciated all of the staff writers I’ve had the opportunity to mentor. I hope you all have learned something from me, no matter how minute it may be. Despite not receiving financial compensation, these writers showed dedication in not only their craft but also the prestige of the Sentinel. I am eternally grateful for your work.
I have appreciated all of the past and present editors that I’ve shared many laughs and produced many papers with. You guys have shown time and time again that you are outstanding campus leaders. No matter what nonsense we faced, we always walked out of the newsroom with a newspaper created. I hope you all know that no matter where life takes us all, you all have a friend in me.
I have appreciated the faculty members. Matthew, Sherida and Ed — we could not have done any of the things we have done without you, and you are the most optimistic individuals I have ever had the chance to work with.
Lastly, I have appreciated you, KSU. Not only have you given me a quality education, but you have also allowed me to tell the awesome stories of you all. Continue to do great things and make alumni like myself proud.
