The smell of fresh bookbindings mixed with desperation of new college students must mean one thing: a new semester has started.

For me, this semester is bound to be a special one, as I am taking the helm of the mighty S.S. Experience for my two semester tenure are editor-in-chief.

As I sit from my perch in the captain’s chair and watch as new students roam the hall, some seem unsure of themselves. And while I have been at LMC for quite some time, I can’t help but begin to relate to them.

Like them, I find myself not knowing what  to do, where to start or how best to succeed. But for me, it’s not about the destination, but the journey and I plan on making this voyage a memorable one.

With these coming semesters, I am working hard with the staff to put together some exciting projects, including a series of issues higlighting the rich history of Los Medanos College to commemorate its 40th year of continuing education.

During my time here in the big seat, I hope to bring you all quality news.

To keep my readers informed.

To make my predecessors proud.

But most of all, I hope to make my mark on a news agency that has stood proudly for 40 years.
