I’ve always valued the printed word, just like almost everyone else in the Texan. Nothing compares to putting a sentence together and then succinctly expressing your ideas. I wanted to continue this respect throughout my time at UT, because it applies to both Spanish and English. I decided to join the powerful Daily Texan, my first student organization on school, after some prodding. Even though my application for the Texan en Espa ol department was submitted an hour ahead of schedule, I will always be thankful that I did so.
I started off as a TEE writer at the Texan, where I improved my Spanish and gained more knowledge about UT. Naturally, I improved a lot of practical abilities when I moved to the social media department, but I also discovered that fresh viewpoints might appear at the most unexpected times. However, the most poignant reminder was that the most authentic friendships can often emerge from unexpected sources.
I must begin by expressing my gratitude to my family. Even though you would continually say, “Again?” when I informed you that I was helping the Texans, you would always stand by me. Without you, I literally and emotionally could not be at UT.
I’ll always be appreciative that I began working in the TEE department at the Texan. The department is still expanding, but the content it produces and interprets is just as significant as any other. I’m eager to see what it will do next.
Maria, you were the linch of support I needed to apply to TEE. I am grateful that you have fostered my affection for the Texan since my first semester. I respect you as a friend, journalist, and individual.
Trinity, your leadership has shown me how much I enjoy social media journalism and how much growth is possible with the correct direction. I’m grateful you gave me a chance, and I vividly recall how you listened to me babble on about word choice during my initial interview.
To every employee I’ve dealt with, but especially to Avery, Sarai, and Rainna. After our fortuitous meeting at the PCL, where you were honing your Spanish, Avery became my first true buddy in the social media department. Seeing what you do as an editor makes me very happy.
Sarai I will never forget your commitment as an associate social media editor and how you met my cousin at our first orientation. I hope I lived up to the high expectations you placed on me this summer.
I appreciate you mentoring me during my first semester as a senior digital staffer, Rainna. You have no clue how much I value our walks across campus after our meetings, in addition to the fact that your diligence astounds me. Every time, they were enjoyable.
Yesenia Your candor, criticism, and adaptability as a social media editor are greatly appreciated. With your keen sense of humor, you never held back. Thank you, ma’am!
Newton deserves my gratitude, of course. Your generosity, insight, and sense of humor are admirable. I appreciate your constant intellectual insights and the transport to my room when I was exhausted. I am lucky to have you as a close friend and mentor.
Even though I didn’t speak or write in Spanish very much while I was at the Texan, I developed a greater understanding for writing as a copywriter, learner, and individual. No matter where I go, I’ll always remember my time at the Texan. Goodbye, thank you. Thank you, adi s.
