I am not one to manage multiple tasks very well. Especially, being in class and balancing my time. I am just not the best person for that. I have honestly learned to do better with that this summer, and it's all thanks to my Odyssey team. I'm not a huge "chatty kathy" towards my team, but I still appreciate them. They acknowledge and support my many ideas, and some of my ideas have for sure been faux pas. Anyways, I feel like I have personally grown as a writer due to writing for the Odyssey, and will continue to do so during each summer break that I can get.

I highly encourage people to do this, or to be part of their own college writing community. I have learned so much from this group, and I just wanted to thank them with it being my last article until next summer break.

Because I devoted much of my time to this team, I now have a writing spot on the school's newspaper staff! How cool is that? I have learned to branch out with this team, and I am so excited to take on the role of a writer, and possibly photographer? It's all so scary and exciting! I don't know what I will really write about, but it should be fun!

I wanted to thank everyone for challenging me, and helping me overall in this journey as a young writer.
