The most popular sports at Millard West are football, basketball, and soccer. Everyone loves covering them, but I think it's equally important to cover the ones that aren't as attended.
This is my first year being on the journalism staff, which means not just writing, but creating broadcasts as well. From the ones I have created this year, you will see how my skills progress. The art of broadcasting is a hard one to perfect. Interviews have to be entertaining, footage has to be spot-on, and the story itself has to be current and amusing. They should be done in four days tops, which causes a lot of stress. Starting as a feature writer, it was hard for me to transfer my words on paper into videos for the whole school to hear and see. But after doing this many, I can't help but love it. In a way, I get to take everyone behind the scenes on how I write stories.
