View from the Valley
Editor’s Note
Happy New Year! Personally, I am excited about this year. I will graduate from WVC with an Associate's Degree in Radio/TV Communications and an Associate's Degree in Science and Art this May. Then, I’ll be spending the summer packing and moving to my next destination--university life. In some ways, starting over in a completely new environment at a university is nerve-wracking. But, I have a good feeling about 2023--so I will carry that with me whenever I start university life. Overall, I hope 2023 will be a good year for you, dear reader. I hope that all the hard work you put into 2022 gets paid off this year. Entering a new year can sometimes be a scary thing--especially if you really liked or disliked the previous year. Nonetheless, getting through the most uncomfortable things in life is what helps us move on to the greatest things yet to come. At least, that’s my philosophy.
What a break! We are blessed to get almost two weeks off every year. I said in my last edition that I would use my time to put away Christmas decorations, clean the garage, and be with my family. Well. I did the last one. But let's face it "clean the garage" has been on the to-do list for three years. Plus, I never really make time to do something so terrible. Especially when I could spend that time playing with children. Or doing literally anything else. Also, SOME of my Christmas decorations could just stay out until February because technically it is still winter. Right? On a more serious note, last semester ended with some pretty incredible things, (look to pages 03, 04, and 06). We are hoping this spring semester starts and ends the same way! We hope to see you on campus for some community events.
You know, one of my New Year’s Resolutions is to read more. Maybe you should pick up on reading more, too! You can start off reading more by continuing through this volume of View From the Valley. ;)
Let’s all follow our strides, keep working on ourselves, and spread kindness as much as we can this year!
Peace! Maggee Bleyer
Stay warm and read on! Jonathan Leach
