Although I have never been paid for my work, I've been writing my entire life. My writing has always been noted by my teachers and professors; I've never received anything less than a B on an essay. In college I've received nothing less than an A. I worked on my high school's newspaper staff for two years, one year as media editor and one as co-editor in chief. In my junior and senior years of high school, I was invited by my teachers to participate in the GHSA literary event in the girls' essay writing category. In eleventh grade I won 2nd place at the regional level; my senior year I placed 3rd at the state level. During my junior year of high school, I was nominated to the Governor's Honors Program (GHP) in both Communications and Social Studies. I chose Communications and made it to the state level. I've recently been contacted about a writing position at my college's newspaper.
