A new legacy
Texas ChalleNGe Academy is a twenty-two-week program meant to help youths improve their lives. I heard of this program through my parents and my brother. My brother completed this program last cycle, and I am glad that I followed his lead and attended.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:

Once in a life choice
Texas ChalleNGe Academy is one of the most mentally challenging rollercoasters that I have been on, but life at TCA is not horrible. It has been a place that has made me think about things. When I say things, I mean learning to make smarter decisions.

Lege gets to work in fourth special session
The Texas Legislature, conceived as a part-time body to meet every other year for 140 days, is now in its record fifth session (counting the regular session). When the impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is included, legislators have been in Austin pretty much the entire year, as the Texas Tribune noted. While legislators are paid just $7,200 a year in salary, per diem payments – meant to cover their expenses while in Austin – have mounted. If the fourth special session goes a full 30 days, taxpayers will have spent $4.8 million keeping lawmakers in Austin.

Journey

Repeat offender
I’m going to start off by saying that this program is not easy. It’s worth it, but it’s not easy. Honestly, I feel like it shouldn’t be easy because good things don’t come easily. That’s what makes you appreciate them more.

Dear future me
I am a part of the Delta Demons Platoon at Texas ChalleNGe Academy and am seventeen years old. I was having problems with school and with family back home, which in reality were caused by my own actions. I know now the path I was walking was a dark one, and I wished I had realized it sooner.
