Memories of Journalism
Journalism has a special place in my heart. I am the only junior in the journalism class; everyone else is a senior. As graduation is approaching, I will miss my journalism team. For old time’s sake, I will be recalling fond memories of the class.
- When Olivia snuck her hamster, named Pumpkin, into journalism class as a hamster ball, Mr. Shome did not realize Pumpkin was in the class. He thought Pumpkin was amazing when he eventually saw him. It was #boomfetch!!!
- Another fond memory is when the whole journalism class participated in the pros and cons of me becoming a nun on the whiteboard. Needless to say, the cons outweighed the pros.
- Whenever it was my birthday, Greta was oh so kind to make me a nun cake as Olivia and Greta are devout believers that I should become a nun.
- Ella and Mr. Shome arguing about the number of exclamation points on GO BLUE GATORS!!! Mr. Shome loves them, but Ella restricts them.
- I love to watch Olivia watch Love Island while Mr. Shome tries to get her attention to ask her a question about the yearbook, but she can never hear him.
- Listening to Mr. Shome compare journalism and math for Aubrey’s interview.
- Buying too many McDonald’s cookies in the morning for journalism class and making Greta eat the excess.
- Listening to Mr. Shome talk about chicken wings–he makes them sound as good as gold.
- Ana using a quote from Mr Shome for her senior quote.
- Ella obliterating my articles (including this one) with grammar corrections because I can’t spell to save my life; Grammarly can only do so much.
- Whenever Mr. Shome talks about the singers Bull Pit and T Swifty Swift.

Hey everyone! My name is Caroline Ortemond. I am the Chief and Editor of Journalism this year. I have been in Journalism for three years, and I absolutely love it! This is going to be my last year in Journalism, so I am going to try my hardest to make it the best year ever. I play basketball and track, and I am the president of the Speech and Debate Team. My favorite thing about Ascension is the welcoming environment that makes everyone feel like they're a part of one big happy family.
