“It’s important to get things done on time and be aggressive getting quotes.”

“I have learned how to stick up for myself. On the business side, you have to be firm.”

Hillary Greene, 17, business manager

“Journalism taught me to break out of my shell and develop confidence.”

“In school we do a lot of analyzing; here it’s more free writing.”

James Borgese, 16

“It has been a lesson in not procrastinating; it’s a lot of responsibility.”
