I, Lanie Sanders, have thoroughly enjoyed being the Feature Editor this semester. If you remember my semester portfolio, I said I was looking forward to going places in this class. The position I want next year (Web Editor-in-Chief) is one of those places. This is a position I really want, and I think that I would do quite well at the job.

I will be able to stay after school, come in for lunches, and get a ton of work done for the entire school year. Also, I have some ideas that I think would benefit Central Focus as a whole, and I would love to be able to implement
