People are constantly asking me, “James, why do you write for the school newspaper?” Well, the simplest answer to that question is, of course, money. Writing for The Chimes has netted me an almost two-figure income with each and every article that gets published. Let me put that kind of money into perspective for you: one single article for The Chimes will fill nearly a fourth of a tank of gas in my car. But, as many of you know, the cost of living has skyrocketed even as the housing market has collapsed. This means that I can no longer afford to live on $15 a week. Not if I intend on enjoying the finer things in life, like car insurance.
