January Review: Annual Awards Banquet
by Christye Fuller, UNT student and LSC Student Member
During the awards banquet on January 10, 2008, the Lone Star Community (LSC) awarded recognition certificates to two teams of technical writing students from the University of North Texas (UNT). These teams competed against 15 other teams as a class project to redesign four pages of the LSC Web site and copy-edit each page. Shannon Sawyer and I represented our respective teams at the awards banquet. This article is about my experience at the banquet.
Professionals, amateurs, part-timers, and full-timers mingled in the Whispering Oaks room at the Crowne Plaza in Addison, Texas. It was a dazzling venue for the stars of the evening to shine. Everyone was a star this night, yet a few shone brighter as they accepted their well-deserved awards. Shannon and I sat among the stars at an up-front-and-center table. This gave us the opportunity to listen and learn from veteran members.
his was the first time I attended an STC LSC meeting, but not my first contact with the awards process. This makes the years—eternal years—all worth it. This award is just one goal among many I hope to achieve in the coming years, yet this award is the one that solidifies the jitters I get when I wonder: Am I doing the right thing with my life? Did I make the right career choice? Is this what I really want to do for the rest of my life? And the image that flashes through my mind is a certificate clearly printed with the words: Yes! Yes! Hell yeah! You go, girl!
Congratulations
to you all
