Senior year in The Expedition went incredibly fast. I am a two-year member and getting to know Ms. Seltzer as someone other than the “newspaper teacher,” and everyone else in the staff was very interesting and fun. The Expedition staff was like a family and everyone worked very well amongst each other. We all had our funny moments but hard work was always being put into the website.

I will very much miss all the new Expedition members. Working with Genesis, Karla, Jenny and Diana was very cool, especially with Irma and Nick. These two became like little siblings to me and even though they’re younger than I am I learned a lot about them throughout the year. I hope that when I come back to visit I will see them working hard behind their screen.

We sadly lost two members this year, Tommy and Dakota. Dakota fortunately came back and even though I stepped up because of his vacancy, he’ll always be the other Managing Editor and not just a reporter. I learned a lot about Amanda, Llojan and Vanessa in two years and they were always there to help out in any way they could. It was always a pleasure to work with them on the website.

I am glad to be leaving after four years of hard work but it’s also a bitter-sweet feeling because I know that I will never be able to relive the memories I made, or see some of the people that I met throughout the year. I am excited to see what the future has ahead of me and I will definitely miss the high school days and The Expedition. — Dennise
