The Perks of Attending Super Boring Meetings

By Logan Martinez

You get assigned stories. As many as were talked about. I attended the Board of Education meeting for class and wrote on the change in the middle schools to standards-based grading. I told my editor at Style Media about it and she asked what else went down. Nutrition changes. Sweet, write about that too. It was great, not that I get paid, but I am getting both stories published that I wrote, one for class and the other because I attended that meeting for class. So, next time you are forced to go to a super boring meeting, take notes and expect to have to write about it for some publication or other.
