It's real

So yes i got published! Twice! It's extremely exciting to see my name on a byline, i can't even explain how happy i am.

This class and professor Reisner have given me an opportunity unlike any other. We, as a class, got the chance to put Liberty City back on the map, and i just heard from Reisner today that people are actualy reading and paying attention!

My stories have gotten a lot of hits on the website, and i'm just really excited that this little project, that some thought would just fizzle, has actually turned into this huge, incredible, actual thing!

T he focus now is to continue with stories throughout the summer. I'll be starting an internship in which we act as guides and editors for the newcomers, and also get to write stories assigned to us from the staff at the South FL Times.

I've come a long way this semester. From struggling so much with my first story, I learned a lot along the way. I learned to be persistant and stay on top of things. I got really good at turning stories around quickly. I think i became an actual reporter! It's kind of crazy and wonderful all at the same time.

I've struggled and also been really successful with my stories. I hope this is just the beginning, and i'm excited to see what's next.
