The Rider Online | Legacy High School Student Media » Staff http://www.therideronline.com Covering the Bronco Nation Sat, 04 Feb 2012 18:53:15 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Julianna Di Napoli – Editor-In-Chief http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/julianna-di-napoli-editor-in-chief/ http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/julianna-di-napoli-editor-in-chief/#comments Thu, 25 Aug 2011 20:05:41 +0000 personalities http://www.therideronline.com/?p=14197 So…Editor-In-Chief, The Big Cheese, Head Hancho, whatever. I think that basically means that I have no life. For the majority of the summer I have been working on all things Newspaper. Assigning stories, editing stories and sending out harassing staff texts were the means of my summer. However, I don’t mind. I love that Newspaper is my life and would prefer it over anything else. The staff and I have worked and continue to work very hard to make The Rider Online even more awesome.
Not much has changed about me. I still have tiny tiny hands, I still love to write and tell people’s stories and I still like to think that I’m pretty awesome. My title is the only thing that has changed about me. I remember my first year of Newspaper, Greg Uribe said “Die-napoli, you’re Editor-In-Chief material,” and I went with that. Being EIC has been my goal since the beginning and after achieving that, I am only motivated to work harder for this publication.
Now, I don’t want to bore you by going on and on about how honored I am to be EIC, so I’ll wrap this up. I am very excited to see all of the amazing stories that this staff has to tell, published. This is a talented bunch and I’d love nothing more than to hear your feedback. ]]> http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/julianna-di-napoli-editor-in-chief/feed/ 0 Amanda Granato – Assistant Editor http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/amanda-granato-assistant-editor/ http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/amanda-granato-assistant-editor/#comments Thu, 25 Aug 2011 20:02:16 +0000 personalities http://www.therideronline.com/?p=14192
I enjoy reading, and music, and long walks on the beac… Oh, wait. This isn’t my online dating profile. Whoops.
Despite that I tend to write excessively (and in long, flowy, wordy sentences that Mallett calls ‘girly’ and which drive him crazy), I really can’t think of anything to put here that anyone would be vaguely interested in.
Perhaps I should tell you- you being a hypothetical person who actually cares about this- that I’m a junior. I spend most of my time, when not working on this publication or in school, buying antiques, watching old black and white movies, and listening to oldies music with my friends. Yeah, we’re actually really old people, and I’m somewhat surprised they still let us go to this school. Maybe it’s because we watch Disney movies and sing along to all the songs, so we even out, kinda.
Anyway, I’m this year’s Assistant/Copy Editor, complete with capital letters and everything. It’s my first year as an editor, and I really believe that between the esteemed Julianna DiNapoli and the wonderful and lovely Megan Henry (the Editor-in-Chief and the Features editor, respectively) and myself, we can make this program better than its ever been, and I know for a fact we’ll have fun doing it.

I could take this time make this bio about myself; But here’s a few people who need a a new trophy from me on their shelf.
There’s Madison Mondon who’s super funny; well of course, that’s because she’s my ‘honeybunny’.
And Josh and Nick who put on quite a show; Especially now with their new friends Andy, Madison and Joe.
Amanda and myself are the dynamic duo; it’s hard to imagine we only met a year ago.
Now to save the best for last; with Carson and Brittany it’s always a blast.
So many staffers to name, and frankly I do not have the time; The least I could do was make this rap rhyme.
If I missed you, I’m sorry. You’re important to me; Just know you are awesome, as cool as can be. ]]> http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/megan-henry-feature-editor/feed/ 0 Kymber Cullum – News Editor http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/kymber-cullum-news-editor/ http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/kymber-cullum-news-editor/#comments Thu, 25 Aug 2011 19:58:38 +0000 personalities http://www.therideronline.com/?p=14186 Hey, Legacy! My name’s Kymber, I’m a senior and I’m the new News Editor of therideronline. I enjoy long walks on the beach and in my free time I love to read romance novels. Just kidding about the romance novel part. In my spare time and on weekends I like to hang out with my buddies. We watch movies and play video games (I know, it’s a pretty rebellious lifestyle) life on the edge. If I’m not with my friends I’m with my family. I was born lazy but definitely know how to work. I enjoy doing community service and helping people when they need it. I’m happy when others are happy. I tell things straight and hardly ever hold back my opinion. California is my true home, but here in Mansfield I’ve found a second. I love my Newspaper family very much and would do anything for any of them. ]]> http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/kymber-cullum-news-editor/feed/ 0 Nick Gross – Sports Editor http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/nick-gross-sports-editor/ http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/nick-gross-sports-editor/#comments Thu, 25 Aug 2011 19:56:27 +0000 personalities http://www.therideronline.com/?p=14182 Hi. My name is Nick Gross if you couldn’t tell that. I’m the new Sports Editor this year. I love to listen to country music. It is my favorite genre of music. My favorite bands right now are The Zac Brown Band, Thompson Square, Brooks and Dunn (even though they broke up) and The Band Perry. I wanted to sit here and type up something funny to make people laugh when they read this, but that isn’t working too well right now. I work at the Texas Rangers Ballpark as a parking attendant.  I hate being out there because it is always over 100 degrees. The lot that I work in doesn’t have any trees so I usually get sunburns on my neck and the back of my legs. In my spare time I like to read, write, cook, draw and hang out with my buddies.  Speaking of buddies, my best buddy is Kymber Cullum. When we hang out we eat pizza and play video games all night long. I was born to work, but definitely know how to be lazy. I love my hair. I don’t go anywhere without my gel. If I didn’t have my gel I would have normal people hair, like Madison Mondon. That’s it pretty much. Bye for now. ]]> http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/nick-gross-sports-editor/feed/ 0 Josh Perry – Entertainment Editor http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/josh-perry-entertainment-editor/ http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/josh-perry-entertainment-editor/#comments Thu, 25 Aug 2011 19:48:25 +0000 personalities http://www.therideronline.com/?p=14179 Here I am, entering my second year as Entertainment Editor.  No relations to Rick, Katy, or the beloved platypus so please, don’t ask me. I like music, video games, movies, television and just about anything else deemed entertainment worthy. I like Taco Bell. It’s irrelevant but get over it. Recently I have spent many hours on Red Dead Redemption, Mortal Kombat, Elder Scrolls IV, and Minecraft. If you’re a gamer I’ve probably played your game before, or at least I’ve heard of it. Music wise I’m open to anything but country, rap, jazz and classical. If you fall into that category, trust me, I’ve tried listening to it all and those just aren’t my favorites. I love comedy. I will watch any comedy show I can get my hands on, except the Office. A few favorite shows are Wilfred, Archer, Supernatural and Ugly Americans. With movies, give me any Horror, Comedy or Action movie and it’s a good day. ]]> http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/josh-perry-entertainment-editor/feed/ 0 Nick Failor – Business Manager http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/nick-failor-business-manager/ http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/nick-failor-business-manager/#comments Thu, 25 Aug 2011 19:44:04 +0000 personalities http://www.therideronline.com/?p=14176 I’ve begun to realize that throughout my years in high school, surprising things occur  around me, whether good or bad. Since this is my last year, I vowed to make it worthwhile and purposely throw surprises my way, and push myself beyond my closely-knit boundary. Fresh Friday? I’m doing it. Sexy Tuesday? Still an option. Don’t know what it is? Find it at therideronline.com. Now. In any case, it should be a good year as a whole, and I hope that this is my best. I’ll just throw myself into the wind and see what happens ]]> http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/nick-failor-business-manager/feed/ 0 Victoria Harkrider – Public Relations Director http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/victoria-harkrider-public-relations-director/ http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/victoria-harkrider-public-relations-director/#comments Thu, 25 Aug 2011 19:41:59 +0000 personalities http://www.therideronline.com/?p=14173 My name is Victoria Harkrider! I love Victoria’s Secret and the color pink in general! I love the store and I want one in Mansfield. I love Firebirds too, they are my favorite cars. If I could have my dream car, it would be a black 2001 Firebird Trans Am. I am Captain of Bronco Brigade, Public Relations Director for Legacy Student Media, I write for the Newspaper, design for the Yearbook, take AP classes and love every bit of it, including the challenges. I am really peppy and loud and like to have fun. I’m a gamer, PS3 ONLY! My Boo Bear is Madison Mondon, her and Chase Callaway are my best friends, there are some others too, but not as important. When I get out of high school I want to go to UNT for journalism or something like it. I’m a total journalism NERD! When I grow up I want to be, in order; a Victoria’s Secret Model, a Executive Producer, video game journalist, or a CIA agent. I’m still trying to make it work out to where I cant be a VS model and write for a gaming magazine too. I could work out while testing out video games! …it WILL work… eventually. I’m really social, NOT SHY, and love to meet new people. Say hi if you see me around school! ]]> http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/victoria-harkrider-public-relations-director/feed/ 0 Carson Rahrig – Personalities Editor http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/carson-rahrig-personalities-editor/ http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/carson-rahrig-personalities-editor/#comments Thu, 25 Aug 2011 19:31:32 +0000 personalities http://www.therideronline.com/?p=14170 Hi my name is Carson Rahrig. I am the Personalities Editor for therideronline. I am a pretty crazy person. I talk way too much and annoy everyone, but I guess my friends don’t mind! I laugh at pretty much anything anyone says or does. I am the person that laughs when I get in trouble (my parents are not really a fan of that). I always have a piece of gum handy, I am seriously addicted. On top of being apart of the Newspaper Staff I am a competitive dancer. Dancing has taken up every free second of my life since I was three, and I would not have it any other way. I am really looking forward to what this year brings me. I am hoping for the best and expecting the best. ]]> http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/carson-rahrig-personalities-editor/feed/ 0 Madison Davis – Staff Writer http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/madison-davis-staff-writer/ http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/madison-davis-staff-writer/#comments Thu, 25 Aug 2011 19:29:23 +0000 personalities http://www.therideronline.com/?p=14167 Hello, I’m Madison Davis. I am a 6’4 senior and pretty much the best thing to ever grace the face of planet Earth (and when I say ever, I mean ever). This is my first year on the newspaper staff and first year being involved with journalism. I enjoy Doctor Who, Top Gear, and most things British (or English, whichever is more politically correct). I also play World of Warcraft and spend a great deal of my time either sleeping or on Facebook. ]]> http://www.therideronline.com/staff/2011/08/25/madison-davis-staff-writer/feed/ 0
