Letter from
the Editor
Someone once
asked me, “What is
journalism exactly?”
Over the course of four years, I have learned that journalism
is simply a group of students who work together to write
about the news for the student body, staff members, and
even parents. Our class meets for one block period, writes
news articles, and gets involved with the current events of
Brooke Point High School. But that’s not my favorite part;
journalism to me is about the stress and pride in the final
product. Journalism is sharing food with the people sitting
around you. Journalism is a class that I look forward to every
day because I know that the people and the environment
is welcoming. So, “What is journalism exactly?” It’s exactly
where one student can learn responsibility, have fun, develop
new friendships, laugh a lot, and most importantly, feel part
of a family.
As Editor in Chief, this school year has been stressful, to
say the least, but journalism has always been something that
brings me joy. The 2015-2016 school year wouldn’t have been
possible without the help of Regan Flieg, who will soon be
Editor in Chief. I couldn’t possibly think of anyone more
hardworking and deserving of such an honorable role than
Regan. Thank you to Julie Gazzoli, who has stayed behind the
scenes with little recognition, but deserves endless praise for
all of her hard work. A big thank you to Ms. Bakum, whom I
owe the Hawkeye’s success to. She was thrown into the job of
journalism advisor, and has done so with impeccable grace.
Thank you to my parents who continuously support all my
endeavors.
