Dear ladies and gentlemen,

I am greatly honored with this Best Editor of a Teen magizine award. I was one of the many of men and women nominated for this award, and each and everyone of them is worthy of this award. I am really exicted that i won this and i want to thank you for supporting me and trusting my professional abilities. But this award does not just go to me, it also goes to my amazing staff who have worked just as hard on this magizine as i have.
I figured out i wanted to begin studying journalism my first year at Los Angeles Universtiy. I had started college not knowing what i wanted to do and was just working on my basics. I then took a class on how to write newspapet articles. I soon realized this is what i want to do with my life. For the next four years i worked to get my Masters in Journalism and started working on getting a job. I started working little jobs at the local newspaper getting a few articles here and there, knowing i wanted to go on to do bigger things. I than one day got a call from Seventeen magazine for an interview for a columnist for their magazine i was exicted! I couldnt believe that i was being thought of for this postion. After the interview i couldnt belive it i had got it! For the next few years I worked hard to get to the top. Now look at me i am editor and chief for Seventeen magazine and i couldnt be happier.
I am grateful that i have had the oppurtunites that have came my way. I am thankful for my family who has always supported me in whatever i do. I also have to thank everyone who has ever belived in me. I am still striving to get better there is always room for improvement and new ideas. So thank you for honoring me with this award!
