I'm in a glass case of emotion

Firstly I would just like to congradulate Mr. Henry on FINALLY learning how to use Twitter, way to go bro. Now on to me, because I am the most important human being ever to inhabit the earth. My name is Brooke Wertz. Not Brooke Rosenburg. I'm way cooler and not as good at math. I'm 15, I have 6 siblings, and 3 dogs. I like my brothers better than my sisters, because let's be honest, girls are annoying. I like to play on my Gamecube, it's the only gaming system I thoroughly enjoy. I have a Wii, but that is too much phsical activity for me. I've been playing softball since I was 5 and this upcoming summer will be my last season ever, unless of course I play with my church's old person slow pitch softball league....2 of 6 siblings are at Georgia Southern, and I suspect next year 3 of 6 will be there. My dogs names are Shakespeare, Elvis, and Skittles. We re-named all of them except Skittles. My birthday is July 18th 1997. My favorite color is purple. I think I have contributed to The Laureate by bringing a fresh point of view and a unique writing style. I enjoy being sarcastic and joking around. I find myself very funny; nobody makes me laugh more than me. I think my strengths are that I'm funny (or so I think), I'm full of energy, I have a great work ethic, and I work very well with others. I can definately imporove on my procrastination. Every year my wiseness grows and I think I can now contribute with my new found genius next year, if we don't die in 2 days that is.
Bottom line I'm fantastic. If you realize that early on your life and mine will both run easier!

OH MY GOSH.

Mr. Henry disappeared during winter break! He left a note saying something about when he's ruling the Americas that he'll keep us safe.....I don't really know what he's talking about, but I'm glad I'm on his good side! Anyway, the journalism class now has a new teacher, Ms. Psychlienabecker. She hasn't got a clue and now needs my advice on how to run The Laureate. The advisor needs my advice....ironic. Well here are my Top Five Tips on How to Run The Laureate.
1. Don't get power hungry and try to take over the Americas. Remeber, you are a high school teacher, and essentially the only thing you have power over is your students grade.
2. If the staff has a quarrel they can't solve, feel free to step in. Just becasue it's a student run newspaper doesn't mean that students are always going to make the best choices.
3. If the editors need help, make sure the staff helps them. Also make sure the editors actually ask when they need help.
4. Do NOT let the children organize a party. They are terrible at it. You should spearhead all parties and make us cookies daily.....
5. Make sure to ALWAYS bring the students presents. Everyday. Mostly me.

Heres's my last lesson and let me tell you, this is the most important thing you will ever learn.
ALWAYS trust people who like big butts. They can not lie.

Alright well those are my suggestions Ms. Psychlienabecker, take them and use them. Use the heck out of them.
