Katie Valley says goodbye
In The Eclipse, I learned more about the art of writing than I have learned in all my years of English classes. Journalism is everywhere in the real world. It's important to learn writing style because that will make you stand out. To future students, the road to becoming a journalist may seem rough at the beginning, but if you work hard and stick to it, you will find that you love it. Shine as...
Kayla Smith says goodbye
When I first joined journalism, I did not know what to expect. Now, after two years of being in this class, I know that being a part of a newspaper is hard work. Not everything you do can get published. It takes a lot of work to get each story right. However, you get used to it. You learn how things have to get done and how to work under a deadline. I will definitely miss this class a lot, but I...
Karmen Bishoff says goodbye
With the school year coming to an end, I am able to reflect on my classes and how beneficial they have all been. Having this class has helped my writing skills in every class. I wish the best of luck to the staff next year. Have fun. Before you know it, you will no longer be a member of The Kearsley Eclipse -- enjoy every second of it....
Aysia Booth says goodbye
Journalism has forced me to become outgoing and willing to go to great extents for information. I would like to thank our adviser, Mr. Puffer, for pushing the class to write our best and help us seek our full potential. Also, I would like to thank my friends for making the class full of fun and something to look forward to. Journalism gave me a way to express myself in a way I have never thou...
Hunter Johnson says goodbye
"Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you are at it," Horace Greeley said. These two years have been an endless up and down battle. The ups being journalism has granted me the ability to think outside of the box and see things in a new perspective. The downs being struggling to meet my deadline each week. (What are deadlines, though?) I have learned many things from bot...
Hannah Coon says goodbye
This was my first and last year in journalism and I would like to thank Mr. Darrick Puffer for being an excellent adviser. I anticipated this being a blow off class, and I am so glad it was not. Good luck to the rest of the seniors as they move on from this wretched place. Keep up the good work next year, underclassmen. I look forward to continuing to read your stories....
Nadia Koontz says goodbye
Journalism helped me revolutionize myself for the better. With every piece of writing, I have been able to discover who I am, and because of journalism I have become someone that seems familiar. High school is a special kind of place that makes you think you are a certain type of person based off of the people you hang out with or what kind of grades you find on your report card. Soon you w...
Makenzie Schroeder says goodbye
Although this chapter of my life is coming to an end, I know a new and improved one is about to start. I am grateful to have taken Journalism these past two years. Not only is it easy, but Mr. Puffer is one of the best teachers out there. I definitely will be missing this class, but I will not miss others (like Political Science). These past four years have been filled with tears, laughter, an...
Jacob DePottey says goodbye
With senior year coming to an end, I am excited to move on with my life. High school has been quite the experience for me -- an experience that certainly helped me become who I am today. Between the homework and social events, these past four years have flown by. The various classes I enrolled in during my high school career have really helped me prepare for college, like calculus and economic...
Gracen Nelson says goodbye
Dear future staff, READ YOUR STYLEBOOK! It is almost time to graduate and it feels so bittersweet. Thank you for the memories I share with all of you. I will treasure them forever. For future seniors, do not slack off or you will regret it. I don't know how this class will go on with out its best reporter -- obviously me -- G-Money Nelson, but good luck. Have fun with each other and follow m...
Chance Wikaryasz says goodbye
Well, let me be honest, this is not the New York Times! I learned how to become a better writer in this class, and I think it will be beneficial to me in the future. For this, I am thankful. Even though I was not always the first to write a story, I did do something good for the class. Whenever we were at each other's throats and stressed to the max, I would come in with some joke and release some...
Zack Broughton says goodbye
My years at Kearsley High School are going to be years that I'll never forget. As senior year is winding down, I am starting to realize how fast it all went by. I have made so many amazing memories. I have made new friends and this school year has taught me so much. Even though I worked with The Eclipse for one short year, I have learned so much about how journalism actually works. I never even...
Jalen McClain says goodbye
Kearsley had a lot of ups and downs for me, almost to the point where I wanted to give up and change to an online school. But I stuck with it and realized my mistakes. This is no longer middle school. All of this will matter later in the future. If you aren't focused, you will fail. If you aren't focused now, try your hardest to snap out of bad habits and make sure school always comes first. Hanging...
