Parting Ways and Wishing Luck

Baylie Kress
Staff Writer 
   Hello, my name is Baylie Kress and for the last two years I have been a staff writer for The Bonneville Buzz. This is my senior year, so this is my final, farewell article. My first year in journalism I was not the best writer, but I have improved greatly since then. I joined this class to improve my writing skills, and I am thankful I did. The first article I ever wrote was about winter illnesses, and COVID-19 was still at a high. My draft was decent for starting out as a new staff writer, and I received so much feedback on it. Comments from the staff helped me learn how I could make my next article amazing.
  My goal after graduation is to become an elementary school teacher. I want to know I was good at writing, and I was already prepared to go into teaching. As I continued to practice and attain more knowledge, I felt more confident in the class and in myself. I am eager to teach others and spark their desire to learn. Outside of journalism, I have had many favorite memories from my time at BHS. 
  Throughout all my four years of high school, one of my favorite memories is the school-wide barbeque during Homecoming Week of my freshman year. StuCo planned fun dress-up days throughout the week, and the week ended with a barbeque. Music blasted in the commons, and everyone jumped around and let loose. It was a blast and a memory I will never forget!
  The biggest thing I am going to miss about Bonneville is all the memorable dress-up days and seeing my peers participate in the school spirit activities. I am disappointed I will be gone for future games and assemblies, but I know future Bees will love it just as much as me. I want to say goodbye to the upperclassmen and underclassmen, especially my little freshmen friends I hang out with every day. It is going to be very difficult to leave my home of the last four years to go off to college to do grown-up things. I look forward to working and college, but I am savoring the last few weeks of my senior year. I am going to miss all my classes and teachers. This year was the best year that I have had in the last four years. I am going to remember all the fun amazing memories I had here, and I am going to miss you all.
