Room 604. It is the portal of my 4 years at PRHS. It is the exit to the outside world (parking lot to my car) and the entrance into a class unlike any other. Room 604, has been more than a journalism class, it has been my sanctuary. The last three years in Crimson have had their ups and downs with many tears of sadness and many tears of joy shed. And, to say the least, I am grateful for every moment I have ever spent inside the walls of Crimson. 

Never in my wildest dreams would I think I would be a part of this class. My two older sisters were heavily involved in the class and it took them many nights to convince me to join. Despite my unwillingness to join, I joined. Only to discover that I quite enjoyed the class. Following my sister’s steps I became EIC in my junior year. I want to give a huge thank you to my sisters: Ysabel Wulfing and Rayvin Wulfing, for always encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. For pushing me and encouraging me every step of the way. 

However, Crimson would not be the same without beloved English teacher and advisor Jeff Mount. Mount has been a huge part of my success for the last 4 years. Starting as a freshman in his English class and ending as a program leader in my senior year. He has pushed me to excel and do the best of my abilities. He has taught me grammar, to be a good journalist, to use Photoshop, InDesign, and illustrator, and most importantly a power paragraph. 

As the school year draws to a close and graduation looms over the horizon I am overwhelmed with gratitude for this program. It has taught me so much that words can’t even be expressed. Although I won’t be going to University for communications, this class will serve as a great resource for me in my future career. As I prepare my farewell to PRHS and embark on new adventures, I carry with me the invaluable lessons learned in Room 604, forever grateful for the experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today.
