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.

The misery of moving
Do you know what it is like to be told one day that the adults have made the decision to relocate the entire family? Oh, I am not talking about moving across town! I am talking about moving to a different city. I wanted to scream and say, "Hey, how about me? This is not just going to affect your life! Has anyone considered what impact this will have on my life or does anyone really care about my opinion regarding this major change in our lives? Who says you get to make all the decisions in this family? I thought we used the democratic system!"

Today is the deadline for Xpressions!
Xpressions, our monthly showcase for the art, writing and photography of students through the 12th grade, is looking for your work!
