Thank you for responding. We're glad you are interested in being featured as a senior of the week. Please read ALL of the information below!
To complete an article about you,we have listed several 'interview' questions below. Please copy/paste them into a word document, provide your answer below each question and email your completed interview along with a photograph (any clear, personal photo that was not taken by a paid or professional photographer unless it was Scott) to [email protected]. If a question on the list does not apply to you, please respond with 'n/a'.
Please note that the Chatsworth Times requires articles from us that are at least 500 words in length. If we do not have enough information to build an article of this length, we will not be able to feature you, so please remember that too much information is better than too little. Therefore when answering questions thoroughness will really help us! For example, if we ask 'At what age did you start playing this sport?' instead of simply giving an answer such as 'four', consider a longer answer. Example 'I started playing baseball when I was four when my mom signed me up for t-ball at the rec. But before that, I was playing in the yard with my dad."
If this invitation has been extended to you, there is a very good chance you will be in the paper but for clarity purposes we do have to note that it is not guaranteed.
Seniors are typically featured during their sports 'season'. For example if you are a basketball player submitting information about yourself in August, we will hold onto your info and feature it in late Fall or early Winter, when basketball season is underway.
