A photo gallery depicting ODYSSEY Media Group Journalism I Facilitator Angel Tejada is show. Over the course of the past four years, Tejada has spent numerous hours learning and teaching in Room 231. “You hear a lot about how people wish they could turn back time to experience those once-in-a-lifetime events just one more time,” Tejada wrote.”But I feel the reason they are so special is because they were once in a lifetime, and ODYSSEY is no different.” Photos from the ODYSSEY archives

ODYSSEY Media Group Journalism I Facilitator Angel Tejada reflects on how his time in the ODYSSEY Media Group has impacted him.
Four years ago, me and my three friends are huddling around our computers in Mrs. Harding’s eight grade science class at Burney-Harris-Lyons Middle School, eagerly awaiting to see if we got into ODYSSEY.
Fast forward, almost exactly four years later, I’m sitting in Room 231, surrounded by 14 freshmen writing about how old I feel. I remember my Journalism I Facilitator, Lucas Donnelly, told me, “Before you know it, you’ll be in your senior year, wondering where all the time went.”

ODYSSEY has been no different.
You hear a lot about how people wish they could turn back time to experience those once-in-a-lifetime events just one more time. But I feel the reason they are so special is because they were once in a lifetime, and ODYSSEY is no different.
The experiences I’ve had from laughing till my stomach hurts, crying at the end of Southern Interscholastic Press Association convention every year until my eyes are puffy to the times where I see kids smile and have fun when I teach.
Each one of those thousands of memories I will look back on fondly, and remember that in each one of them, I was never alone.
