It's Your Times

The Times Editor interviews Whyvillians about the Times.

The Whyville Times -- my favorite part of our virtual community. The Times is a unique part of our world; it's a place where you can voice your opinions, reveal your inner thoughts, discuss controversial topics, and grow as writers. Over the past few years I have worked to make the Times the best it can be and to find creative ways to improve it. A few of them have stuck around -- columns, the Whyvillian in the Spotlight (although not lately) and the Whyville Times Awards. I'm always looking for ideas and suggestions to make the Times even better.

So, I decided to conduct an interview with some of Whyville's well-known Times Writers, and a few up-and-comers. The purpose of this interview is to find out what you, the citizens of Whyville, want out of your newspaper. This is a rather lengthy interview; I wanted to gather as many opinions as I could so I could have a well-rounded article. Grab a snack, you might need it.

I can't do this alone, so let's work together. After all, it is your Times . . .

Mock Morals: Striving for Success

Holiday50 shares her struggles with school.

I remember when I used to be the smartest kid in school.

"You're so smart, Jess!"

"Wow, you're a genius."

"Why don't you skip a grade like Gordo in "Lizzie McGuire"?"

Everything came easily for me. What happened to that?

I used to be an active child, I played sports regularly. Naturally I was an athlete at school.

I used to be the best in music class because I took piano lessons for 8 years. I also learned to play the recorder and xylophone from a young age, so I was easily able to master woodwind and percussion instruments. However, in sixth grade a new student without any prior music experience excelled more than I on the piano. She also went on to pass every instrument our school had to offer (flute, trumpet, clarinet, trombone, xylophone, drums, guitar). It just came so naturally to her, while I had been training myself for YEARS.
