A photo gallery depicting ODYSSEY Media Group Viewpoints Staffer Kimora Holliday’s time in the program (2025) is shown. Holliday moved away before being able to join the program as a freshman, but came back her second semester of senior year, fulfilling what she had hoped for as a freshman. “Although it was a bit of an adjustment for me, especially joining the last semester of my senior year, the ODYSSEY has taught me the value of teamwork, responsibility and community, and I am forever thankful for that,” Holliday wrote.

Right where I belong
Viewpoints Staffer Kimora Holliday reflects on her time in the ODYSSEY Media Group.
When I was a freshman in high school all I kept hearing about was the ODYSSEY. As someone new to Clarke Central, and high school in general. I had no idea what it was, but it only took two words to get me hooked, writing and journalism. So, my senior year, I decided to join.
I knew that if I could find something that appealed to my interest and help me get acclimated to life as a high schooler then I would be okay. I was so happy when I found out about the ODYSSEY.
I was happy when I was able to move back to Clarke Central for the simple fact that I was able to join ODYSSEY again.
The only problem was that I moved. Yep. Right after getting in, I moved to a different school in a different district. It was okay though because although I missed out on the first three foundational years of my ODYSSEY experience, I was happy when I was able to move back to Clarke Central for the simple fact that I was able to join again.
Although it was a bit of an adjustment for me, especially joining the last semester of my senior year, the ODYSSEY has taught me the value of teamwork, responsibility and community, and I am forever thankful for that.
