Vanessa Moreno, News Editor

I joined Newspaper last year after feeling dissatisfied with my life. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions since.

I love Newspaper because it doesn’t feel like a class. It’s more like a fun hobby— and this is  coming from someone who doesn’t necessarily enjoy writing. 

I got to do many cool things and stepped out of my comfort zone a lot. That helped me grow tremendously, and I’ve learned so many skills. Most of all, I’m glad I met everyone that makes up the class. 

I’ve never truly belonged anywhere, but in Newspaper, I don’t feel like an outcast as much. I’ll miss this class, and I’m so upset I didn’t join sooner.

I’m thankful for my experiences here, as they helped shape my worldview, and I’m excited to continue pursuing journalism. I hope to make the Messenger proud one day.
