\u00a0 \u00a0Hello there, my name is Samuel J. Claude, and I\u2019m the new Associate Editor for the Clarion newspaper. You know I find it hard to believe that I\u2019ve only been here for a year and a half and have learned so much about my craft along with life as a whole. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0I am currently majoring in Multimedia Journalism, and hope to graduate with my bachelor’s degree shortly after I graduate high school. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0But until then, it brings me great pleasure to enlighten and entertain you, the people of Sinclair, through my contributions of writing in the Clarion Newspaper.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0I first began to discover my gift of writing in 7<\/span>th<\/span> grade in a homeschool co-op called School on the Rock. There I attended several creative writing courses, where I learned the many complex forms of writing. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Eventually, in my Sophomore year, my colleagues and I arrived at Sinclair under the College Credit Plus program. There I took English composition courses and not only increased my interest in writing, but learned how to potentially make a living doing what I love. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Before long, I was offered a job as a reporter for the Clarion after sending in an article I wrote for English Composition 1201. Since then, I\u2019ve been blessed to have creative freedom, which the Clarion proudly promotes, to write about whatever I wish. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0I\u2019ve primarily written on films both old and current, however, I\u2019ve also enjoyed covering topics such as wrestling, social commentary and even interviewing the president of Sinclair himself. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0However despite all the new responsibilities and privileges of an editor, deep down inside I still feel like that kid from Huber.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0When I\u2019m not on campus, I enjoy a couple hobbies, such as collecting old school Nintendo games, a good old game of poker and a good old nap. However what really gives me the most joy in what I do in life are the people I share life with. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Whether it be my immediate family, my best friends at my CSG church, or old companions from years past, I would not be where I am today without these people. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0With all of that in mind, I am thankful and proud to be serving as your associate editor. At the Clarion, I\u2019ve got a great team to work with to bring you, the reader, nothing less than the most thought-provoking and amusing newspaper in all of Sinclair. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIntelligence is not a privilege, it is a gift, to be used for the good of mankind.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
