October 2018 Editor’s Note

Bryn Dotson, assistant editor

When I was a kid, I hated reading and writing. I would be frustrated to tears when the teacher passed out writing exercises, and I would want to catch the pages on fire when assigned to read anything from any book. I don’t know why or how or when the shift happened, but as I’ve grown up, I’ve fallen in love with literature and in love with the process of creating through writing.

I took ENG 121 because I wanted a nice, easy class that I got to utilize my passion in, but I got much more than I could have asked for. Introduction to Journalism was the perfect outlet for all of my creative passion, as well as my desire to promote the truth. The Forum has provided me with an incredible opportunity to work alongside incredible people. Hand in hand Mattie Weikle, friend and co-editor, and I will work diligently to keep PVCC free of lies and falsities, providing only truth and honesty.
