A little recognition

I received some great news this past Monday.

I was up for a CNPA Better Newspaper Contest award, and took home a second place prize. I was gunning for first, but I was out-dueled by a paper in Northern California.

It's funny that most of postings on here revolve around photos, but my award was for writing. It was a story about a school out in the rural parts of Fresno County that had a connection with a school in Uganda. It was a two part story that took me a total of two months to put together.

It was nice to get some recognition for the story that I worked the hardest on.

Next year I'll take home first though.
