O-5 My process


I probably have the easiest job here at the Bulldog.  I have the article topic of “Athlete of the Week.”  Each issue I always have stuff to write about.  Mrs. V sends over a write up of the athletes that were selected for Athlete of the Week and I basically read it and then write my own version of it.  In the past I have not constructed interviews with the athletes, but now I am starting to.  I love displaying the achievements of the athletes here at Alden.  It is a privilege.  The only hard thing is about writing Athlete of the Week is that because our articles run every two weeks, it is hard to catch up with it because there are different athlete selected each week.  Also I hate when we are between sport seasons because that means there are no games being played, which means no athletes are performing, which means there is no Athlete of the Week.  During that time, I struggle finding article topics.  I usually scramble around last minute and try to write something.  I really have to thank Mrs. V for all the work she does sending over the write up and keeping me updated.  I really enjoy writing the Athlete of the Week.  I hope someday I could write about myself, but that has not happened yet.  I write about a girl and a guy each week that displays excellence during games or matches.  It keeps me updated with which athletes are performing well in their sports.  It gives me the chance to congratulate them on their achievements.  One criticism for Mr. Currin is that he never puts my article in the Athlete of the Week section of the Bulldog.  He always just throws it carelessly into the sports section of the news.  #GetWithIt
