St. Petersburg Times: Xpress

sptimes.com

Xpress, the Coolest Section of the St. Petersburg Times, is the home for features, news and views of interest to young readers. Most of the work in Xpress, which appears on Mondays in Floridian, is produced by the Times' X-Team. The team of journalists ages 9-17 from around the Tampa Bay area is selected every year at the end of the school year to serve during the following school term. The current team of 12 was chosen out of 150 applicants. Watch for X-Team application forms in Xpress during the month of May.

Time for a fresh start
This year things will be different for me in school. I will be in a new school with a new chance to build myself a better reputation. I do know how I messed up in the past, and I do have many choices in my life. I can succeed with a little effort. No, maybe it will take a lot of effort on my part, but I can do it with a lot of determination and focus.
