the fact that it is the 15 yr anniversary of my fathers suicide. i write for my local paper and had two stories to cover today. i didnt think that it would be a long day really or that these stories would amount to anything huge but i was wrong!! i covered career day at the junior high this morning and then the science fair in the evening. i write for a small paper that a bigger paper owns. the paper i write for is a weekly publication. the career day story is going to be run in the bigger daily paper tomorrow morning!! that is such a big stepping stone for me. more money and being in the big paper is a good career move as i am still in college. i am a journalist major. i have three more semesters left. so to be published in the areas big daily paper, that is such a great honor and privilege. i am so excited to get the paper tomorrow. i am acting like a little kid in a candy store...lol. just wanted to share my good news!!!

Hopefully this will open up many doors for you- and good luck in college! I find when we go as adults- it makes us do better because we want it more- we know what good grades will get us in the Real world! Congrats again!

It's sad to hear what happened to your father. I'm sure that must have been hard on your entire family, and after 15 years, I don't imagine that it would be any easier. Cool about the stories in the newspaper though. Awsome work!! I'd love to write for a small paper some day.
