On Tuesday, I went to go visit my sponsor, Mr. Barna, for the very last time. When I arrived, I had my camera in hand, ready to take pictures of my sponsor for my little "slide show" for my presentation. But when I got there he wasn't around! Mr. Barna had disappeared and no one in the office knew where he went! He was like a ninja or something because no one knew when he left of where he went. I was kind of upset but I didn't let that faze me to much, I had work to do. Ms. Rearick helped me out, setting me up in my usual spot so I could type up my article. The only problem I came across was that I didn't know whether Mr. Barna wanted me to write my article in my own personal experience with preparing for prom or from my experiences through school and prom committee. I mean, I interviewed teachers like Maggi and Ms. Schmid about prom related things and I didn't even put it in my article. I still did it though, it's just about my own personal experience though, so there are no interviews present in it. But when I started, I had no clue how to start my article. I asked Ms. Rearick, and she seemed just as confused as I was, so she pulled up previous articles so I could get an idea. It really helped me a lot, and when I did it, it seemed like I was writing an opening paragraph for a paper. I typed it up and I had Ms. Rearick look over it, and she told me that I didn't have to send it in right away, but that I could look over it and then send it in. Then after I finished and printed it out, I took pictures of Ms. Rearick and Mr. Jim Six, and of my little "work space". I had really hoped while I was there, Mr. Barna would mysteriously show up but he didn't, so Mr. Jim, who is a really cool guy, sent me a picture of Mr. Barna. Then I left, waving my final goodbyes to Ms. Rearick and Mr. Jim, regretting the fact that I couldn't have met them sooner, and I left the Gloucester County Times for the last time. I wish I could've found them earlier than April but it can't be helped. I'm glad that Sam found them, if she hadn't I wouldn't have met such nice people. They made my experience with Senior Project and Journalism worthwhile.
