What’s your favorite position?

At my old school, we used to have a broadcast journalism class. If you don’t know what that is, it’s basically news. We did podcasts and stuff, and last year had started writing daily articles about what’s been going on in the world. In a way, I guess I should be used to blogging, but what I wrote were half-researched news articles. They weren’t the best, but it kept the class busy for a bit so I can’t blame our director for that. And if you guys don’t know me fully yet, I’m bad at speaking. So being in that class was hell sometimes. I hated doing interviews because I’d be nervous about having to talk to basically a stranger (even though they were usually fellow peers) and they’d be nervous about being on camera. It sucked a lot. I joined the class in my freshman year by accident, thanks to my mom and the sneaky teacher, but I still love them both. 

It wasn’t so bad in my first year because I was the only freshman in the class for a while until another girl joined, and we became the best of friends. But the class were mostly seniors, which sucks because I got incredibly close to them and then they left in May. But that was my best year in high school so far, I’m sure it’ll change though the longer I’m here. But anywayyyy… I’m bad at speaking. But I think I volunteered to be our podmaster for my sophomore year because I wanted to try it out. That was a mistake. The teacher and director had already planned for me to become the director for the class in my junior year, and I was freaked. I already had the script editor position in my first year because my English was “amazing”. But it was strange how it happened. One of the three juniors talked to our teacher one day about my grammar skills and such, and they decided that I needed some position in the class as the editor. I wasn’t around for that discussion. Then he and I were interviewing someone where he mentioned it, and I was hella confused. When we got back to the classroom, the teach was like “Oh yeah, Morgan, how would you feel being script editor? Because you’re our script editor now.” 

That was my legitimate reaction. It was too early in my high school career to give me positions, no matter my capabilities. But I guess it didn’t really matter because I didn’t really have to do much. It was just the thought was daunting at the time. Now, I’m okay with taking on positions, but I have to really want it.

The girl from D'Iberville is a really dull girl. She locks herself up in her room, content to spend her time reading and occasionally writing. She loves to read little YA romances and sometimes finds herself with books about history. The main thing motivating her writing is her overactive imagination and the strange dreams that plague her sleep. Her works also stem from what she has heard from music, conversations, or when half asleep. Crazed killers, haunted mirrors, and murderous siblings seem to be part of her stories in some way, but they always start off in her dreams. She started writing when she was in middle school, but had been telling stories since she was little. View all posts by Morgan Crosby
