At my parents house last weekend, they asked me to go through all the school papers and paraphernalia my mom saved over the course of a decade a half of my education, from preschool to high school. Following the paper trail of my own past, I came across my earliest journalism work: writing for my elementary school paper in third grade.
Mostly I wrote profiles on other students, but I also found a straw poll I did of a neighboring class. That year, Mars Inc. had announced it would release a new color of M&M for a limited time, and the public would select the color. Consumers were asked to vote between aqua, purple and pink, so I asked local third-graders to weigh in, and I reported the results of my survey, including a bar graph I made in Microsoft Word pretty high-tech for 2002.

WORTHINGTON Worthington High School students expressed their thoughts on how the year 2020 affected them.
2020 was an unexpected year for everyone from COVID-19 to mental health. Three WHS students from different grade levels shared with Trojan News how they were personally affected by 2020. They coped with mental health issues, Covid-19, jobs, family and more.
The year brought many surprises, including being evicted, losing family members, losing a job, filing for unemployment and students being stressed with everything going on around them. Some high school students are doing all things at once: taking care of younger siblings, working a job, doing online school and struggling with mental health.
