Joining Generations Winner!

I am part of the Brashier Middle College Newspaper crew and there was a contest that was available for any newspaper staff member to participate in. I decided to participate in it. The contest was called "Joining Generations". For it, you had to do a multimedia story on someone at least 60 years of age. I decided to do a video story because I am the absolute best at creating a video than anything else that entails newspaper. The story also had to have a small writing portion with my video and I had my editor, Mary Alice, and my newspaper Advisor, Mrs. Yon help me write that section of the story. I did my story on a local musician known as Ted Dillard. He has been all over the world and played with so many people and just an amazing person overall! I finished my video and the writing section just in time and I turned it in. When our school went to the SCSPA conference about 3 weeks ago, they were handing out the awards and I ended up winning FIRST PLACE! I was so astonished that I literally cried! Not only was I happy that I won the award, but I learned so much about someone who is so influential and I was able to show that to so many people!
