Great for teaching you people skills that will help you network. Additionally, there are great contact opportunities at the newspaper, including your wonderful editor who is there for anything, including letters of recommendation. How do you take your times?

Working as an X-team reporter is not your average internship...it is more like becoming an actual journalist for The St. Petersburg Times newspaper. It is a highly competitive internship that only selects a handful of high school students annually. It is a year long commitment that requires you to write a few articles and attend monthly meetings and workshops. My editor was amazing--she was caring, creative, helpful and encouraging. She helped me create article ideas that were relevant to my interests. This internship definitely improved my writing and enabled me to become a more creative writer.
