In the fall of 2015, I became scene editor for the weekly school paper. This was my first editor experience in journalism and I was more than excited. My editor in chief asked me if I would write an opinion of my choice for the upcoming issue and I agreed.
I chose to write an opinion on the popular phrase, Bye Felicia. This was my first published opinion and it wasn’t a simple process.
I had my opinion looked at by several people before being published because of some of the vulgar language that I chose to use. After being approved for print, my opinion was engraved onto over 10,000 newspapers and it was put online.
Readers gave me their judgement of my piece and the outcome was everything I hoped for. Everyone that read it, loved it, except for one person….my editor in chief.
My article had been taken off line for viewing without me knowing about it and I wasn’t given an explanation. I was furious. So, I found another way to post it online. Enjoy!
