Jack Rummler was in hospital，but he kept emailing his journalism teacher and classmates at Boone High School in the US.He wanted to stay on top of his newspaper work and didn't want anyone else to be stuck with the tasks he'd taken on.

“He would be in hospital writing stories，”said Renee Burke，his teacher at the time，“He wouldn't stop worrying about us.”

Rummler，18，said he did this because he enjoyed high school journalism so much.“Every little aspect of it.”

“He is a student with mercy，”Burke said，“who always seems to be thinking about others，even when he faces his own challenges.”Born with spina bifida（脊柱分裂），he walks with a limp（跛行）and has had about 12 operations.Two years ago，medical problems kept him out of school for weeks.

“Yet，he never wanted to be treated differently，”Burke said，“nor did he avoid doing anything that might be physically challenging for him，such as filming football games.”During his high school life，he worked his way up from staff member to editorin-chief of the Boone paper.

And last month，he won the“Student Journalist of the Year”award from the Florida Scholastic Press Association.

The contest required student journalists to put together examples of their work and their ability to be“backpack journalists”who could take on many types of assignments.

Rummler's examples included stories and opinion pieces，a graphic（圖 表）he'd designed about school construction，and a TV advertisement for the paper's online site.

“I think one of the things that journalism taught me is to always be aware of what's going on in the world，”he said.

His school paper publishes in print four times a year，as well as online.The last issue he worked on was about graduation，showcasing the achievements of top students and athletes，among other soon-to-be graduates.

In August，Rummler will start at the University of Florida，where he plans to study environmental sustainability（可持續(xù)性）and communications.

“Whatever he does，he's going to be great at it，”said Bridgette Norris，the current journalism teacher at Boone，who taught him this past school year.
