This year, I was lucky enough to have been chosen to be the Survey Manager for my class. As Survey Manager, I learned how to curate a survey, send it out, and get/make the results. I really enjoyed being Survey Manager and it taught me how to make a survey and develop the skills to do so. Making the survey by myself was challenging and a lot of work, but I had a lot of fun doing it and I'm glad my work helped contribute to other peoples stories. I had two stories in the Cub Issue and one of them made it onto the center spread as a double bylined story. This was an article that I wrote for our feature project that was originally not supposed to be double bylined but had to be made into one. We had to make this a double bylined story because me and another classmate had too similar of stories. Changing my story and combining it with someone elses was a big challenge that I had to overcome in order to get my story published. This was a major setback for me since I was about to get this article published but I had to backtrack and work with my classmate to combine both our stories. Though at the time this was very stressful and confusing, this experience taught me how to work together with my classmate and communicate with them so we could both benefit and get our stories published. In the end, our stories ended up being better together as one story, and we would have never made it onto the center spread without one another's stories. Im grateful for this experience because it pushed me as a journalist to go outside of my comfort zone and become more comfortable with my peers.
