Taylor Fraze, lead sports writer signing out

Senior Farewells: Taylor Fraze

I, Taylor Fraze, say farewell to the Trop and Troy University with one final article. I have learned so much by being a part of this newspaper and have a lot of people to thank for that.

To Professor Cooper, first I would like to apologize for always giving you a hard time with interviews. Second, I thank you for giving me as many chances as possible to get it right and having enough trust to deem me the lead sportswriter of the Trop. Now that I am gone, you will no longer have to worry about me choosing dinner over an interview.

To Caleb, I apologize for the billion-word stories I turn in every week that you must edit. At least I was able to entertain you with them. Thank you for putting up with me and correcting my AP mistakes, so I don’t make them any longer.

To Troy University itself, thank you for the four years I spent here. I chose Troy only because of money, and I planned on transferring after my freshman year, but not leaving was one of the best choices I could have made. Troy gave me so many opportunities to pursue to prepare me for a career. Now, I know exactly what I want to do long-term thanks to my time here at the Trop.

Farewell to the athletics department I worked closely with as a photographer and reporter. I will miss getting to spend every gameday on the sidelines. I look forward to the opportunities in my job field that were made possible by what I was taught working gamedays as a photographer.   

On to new beginnings, Taylor Fraze signing out.
