After 29 issues and countless hours spent on it, this year’s volume of The PCM Outlook is coming to a close. When I started this class at the beginning of the year, I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. Little did I know that the very first issue would be just learning how to edit. At first, it was difficult, but eventually, I did get the hang of it. I have some issues I’m really proud of; issue 10 and issue 15, and some that were very challenging to do. This class not only taught me how to edit, it also guided me into what I might major in, in college. Originally, I also dreamed of being a pediatric emergency medicine doctor. In the end, if I am going to go play softball, possibly at a Division I school, it is going to be very difficult to become a doctor. Though I’m not fully letting go of that dream, I think I have decided that I’m going to major in communications and minor in photography in hopes of actually becoming a journalist one day; but I do have two more years to figure it out. Despite being an editor, I am so much more than that. I am a daughter, sister, friend, high school student, athlete, and more. I’ve been playing softball for almost 10 years now and have made so many friends out of it. I’ve received 2, 2nd team all conference awards my 8th grade and Freshman year. It has also taken me to some pretty cool places with my travel team. Kansas, Missouri, Florida, South Dakota, Tennessee, and many more. At the end of this year and reflecting on this school year and how everyone in this class did, I’m proud. With everything we have going on together, and in our personal lives, we still found a way to make this available to you. Thank you and we will see you next year! 🙂
