Giggler01 shares her opinions on the Times.

Dear Citizens of Whyville,

If you are reading this article right now, you are probably a fan of the Whyville Times - and if you aren't yet, I hope you will be soon! There are a lot of great things about The Whyville Times - in a world where adults think they know better than children, it's good to have a place where you can express your views and evaluate those of your peers. You might even learn something while reading the Times - fancy that! To give you an idea of how important The Times is to me, I have had approximately 150 articles published in The Times and like all of the Times' writers, I have seen my writing improve over time. But what's more is that I've all witnessed other change and growth in people I have come to consider friends - and there is a certain satisfaction in contributing to this growth, make no mistake.
