>> Hi Everyone
>> My name is  Aziza, and I'm a junior in High School. This is my first year

>> co-reporters just fine, the problem is that I was nominated to be an
>> editor next year, but for some reason didn't make it to the final
>> selection. So, I won't be an editor for the first half of next year. My
>> question is what can I do with both the way I conduct my newspaper

>> business, and the quality of my final drafts to ensure that I'm at least
>> considered as an editor for the next selection?
>> Thanks
