The CHIEF May 2018

EDITOR'S NOTE: GOOD BYE!

Not only did The Chief teach me things, PTHS as a whole has taught me so much. I started high school as an awkward overachiever just trying to navigate this crazy jungle. Yes, I am still an awkward overachiever, but I ’ m so much more now and I have to give major credit to PTHS for helping me become the young woman I am today. To all the faculty/staff/administration; I cannot express my thanks enough. Each and every one of you that I came in contact with has helped me in a positive way. You all encouraged me to follow my dreams into the great unknown (literally), and that is something I can never repay any of you enough for.

Normally, the articles I write for my Editor ’ s section are little updates on the month full of encouraging words to finish the semester, but this time it ’ s all about goodbyes. Not only am I saying goodbye to The Chief , but I am saying goodbye to PTHS. Fair warning, I ’ m about to get emotional. I remember my very first Chief meeting freshman year like it was yesterday.

The very first article I wrote was an interview with Mr. Nollen ’ s student teacher, and now I ’ m writing my final Editor ’ s note (which is insane). I have to credit a lot of things to The Chief , being a part of this taught me many things. Not only did it help me become a better writer, it taught me how to be a creative thinker and a great leader, which are things I will carry with me forever.

So farewell PTHS. I am eternally grateful for everything.
