copy editor’s I started editing yearbooks during my sophomore year of high school. I could not design a spread to save my life, but I knew where the commas were supposed to go, how to format a caption, and how to spell everyone’s name. This year marks the sixth year I have had this editing role and the third year doing it specifically for the Petit Jean. By continuing to expand upon my areas of expertise in this way, I have met friends with whom I have shared many moments but also redefined my definition of a leader to be more than just someone who can speak in front of a crowd without a trembling voice. I think a better definition of a leader is someone who can let their quiet observations (sometimes from the back row of a meeting) influence their decisions and changes for the better. I pray the lessons that I have learned follow through into my responsibilities next year. Thank you so much to Randi Tubbs. You were the best editor-inchief that a copy editor could ask for.
