JACC 2007

who would have guessed that in my first year participating at JACC (Journalism Association of Community Colleges) i would win an award. I was shocked when the announcer was starting the News Judgement/Layout - Broadsheet category award. It was an Honorable Mention but hell, i've never ever designed a layout for a newspaper and this was my first try.

If it wouldn't be for Mark Rojas or Almendra Carpizo back at the newsroom i wouldn't have an idea of what to do, and thats why I'm completely grateful with them.

although i didn't win anything in the sports competition i don't feel bad, i thought i did my best in the contest.

JACC was a great experience and i already can't for the next one. Getting to know better Brandi Perez (ex-sports editor) Victor Muniz (photographer, who is in our class) and Chris Saenz (photographer) was also great I think we developed a great friendship between all of us.

Also, the highlight of JACC was this video, we probably watched it like 10 times a day, sad i know...
