my favorite story was the one about growing up in harlem in the 1970s
it was about a kid and his mom being very poor and the kid would hustle people to get money and his mom would work 2 jobs but it all paid off

opinion notes

a column expreses the personal viewpoints of an individual
includes research and facts
should be fair and accurate in the information they use
includes point of view on subjects
news colums: focus on a recent news event
Profile columns: focus on an outstanding individual
fashion and fad columns:focus on trends
club columns: focus on activities of campus clubs
newsmaker columns: highlight prominent students, teachers and administrators

Do:
vary your subject
look for oddities
use an offbeat style
keep it sort and to the point
admit when you make a mistake
have a genuine interest in your readers write for your readers instead of yourself

Donts:
embaress anyone without a real reason
assume that you always know best
claim all the credit
overuse the word I
assume that your ideas and experiences are always fascinating to others
hesitate to give both sides of the story
