I learned that what makes racing special is the techniques and skills you need to drive because you need to know how to drift and shift all at the same time. I also learned how much racing means to them and why they do it which is for an adrenaline rush and for the joy of it.

During interviews I learned that some people enjoy attention and questioning because it causes them to think deeper about a situation that means something to them. Sometimes the person being interviewed can also learn something rather than just the person asking the questions. I also learned that when asking a question, you won't always get what you expected. Depending on perspectives, people view and answer the same question differently. It's a great thing to see people take on a question in a different way because then it gives so many more aspects to write on.

One fact I learned to do during an interview is take short notes so you don't have to keep your eyes on the paper the whole time. I also learned that smiling at people make it easier, because it makes it a little less stressful/tense.

Over the summer the Berwick Area High School cheerleaders accomplished an important goal that has been set for years. Each and every year the cheerleading squads set out to win the “Top Banana”. This summer at Pine Forest Trail’s End Cheerleading Camp, for the first in over ten years, the Berwick cheerleaders accomplished their goal.

This article is about students of student-run newspapers. They are in charge of their own work and responsible for what they write. People such as school administrators have no power over what students write, which is a fantastic thing. This victory happened in Washington, July 27, 2011. The students have complete power over what they write because if it is censored, it violates their First Amendment rights.
