Disappointment
A shocking discovery
As staff of this magazine, we receive our issues ahead of the public. After excitedly awaiting the arrival, I turned to the one page in the magazine that I hoped to call my own. Disappointment and dread filled me as I realized there had been a mistake, and someone else's name had been used to represent my work. After hours of emotional turmoil, I've now calmed and gotten past the mistake. But those first few minutes and hours of wondering who had made the mistake and why had they done this to me were painful. After all my time and effort spent on this magazine, I couldn't wait to see my name in print and attached to the great quality that is required of the staff on this magazine. The crushing effect this mistake had on me will stay with me, because I can no longer present the magazine to my family and friends and watch with excitement as they turn the pages in search of my name. It won't be there. Yes, I can still use this when searching for professional work, but the damage is done. I am very proud of the magazine and of the staff and all of their hard work, yet mistakes do happen. Unfortunately, it happened to me.
