Hesperians’ views of journalists

No one who knows me in a non-professional capacity is surprised to learn that the last time I went to the principal’s office was a week before I graduated from South Lakes High School. (I called my drama teacher a bitch and, frankly, she was getting off easily with that.) I was a “challenging student” for my educators over the years.

In contrast, when it comes up when talking to people I deal with in professional life — today it was the man who oversees the expulsion process for the Hesperia Unified School District — they find it strange. (Tom Loomis actually laughed and laughed and laughed at the idea.)

I either put on a very good face to the world in my professional life or Hesperians have a much better impression of journalists in general than I guessed (and better than might be deserved, given the checked pasts of so many journalists that I know).
