<pre><code>The most memorable and influential was my involvement in the school’s newspaper club. When I moved to a small school, a few of my friends and I, in order to keep pace with the fast ever-changing modern society, decided to find a way for everyone to keep informed. A few interviews and a few articles later, the next thing I knew, we had ourselves a newspaper. In such a small school, this provided an opportunity to do what I craved.
The first issue was a single edition, single-paged, single colored “pamphlet.” Today, it boasts four pages professionally printed monthly in color newsprint with two separate editions for the school’s students, parents, and faculty without missing a deadline (sometimes at the cost of my GPA). It is natural for me now to spend countless nights watching the sun come up, editing, assembling, and reviewing the materials. As a sophomore, it was quite challenging to lead junior and senior staff writers; however, as time went by, I gradually learned the ins and outs of office politics. Now, in my third year as an editor-in-chief, a firm infrastructure has been set, regularly interviewing different people, not sticking to particular ideologies, staying sensitive to cultural differences, and respecting the religious backgrounds. Leaving all my years of my life behind may bring a tear to my eyes, but with a little bit of good fortune I will find something to occupy myself.
Despite the fact that the strong AP courses that interested me most were unavailable, and the number of electives did not meet my needs nor my expectations; however, through one of the limited classes, I am learning how to be a member of today’s global society, which is essential in gaining the right insights and proper interpretation of the world.
