Katch-ing Up: Proud of Pioneer's Passion

Before the year ended abruptly, there were so many things I was excited to write about in the paper, and even though our time was cut short, I’m extremely proud of everything we were able to get printed.
Whether it was talking to new people to interview or going to events to take pictures, journalism has pushed me far out of my comfort zone, and I’ve loved every moment of it. Every time I snapped pictures of concerts, classes and games, I had an absolute blast. Every person I have interviewed has a passion for what they do, and it is clear in every sentence transcribed.
I am glad that we were able to do one final issue from the Pony Express. In the irony of my current life — doing biology assignments about climate change while simultaneously binge watching old Top Gear episodes (UK, obviously) —writing articles and working with my classmates has given me a sense of normalcy.
Journalism is not only a class, but also a family. Everyone helps each other, whether it was brainstorming headlines in front of a computer, or getting more interviews to add to a story before upload. At home, this still applied as we helped each other in finding people to interview and on video meetings to discuss our final issue.
Even though this year has been strange, it has been an absolute joy informing the school, and I am looking forward to continuing next year, and working to break the stories that will surface.
