Starla Sampaco of Bellevue received the 2016 Asian American Journalist Association (AAJA) Seattle Founders Scholarship on May 26.

The 2014 winner of Miss Washington Teen USA is a junior at the University of Washington, where she is working toward a degree in journalism, with the hopes of becoming a broadcast journalist.

“The lack of diversity in media content and in newsrooms encouraged me to pursue this career path,” said Sampaco, a 21-year-old Filipino American. She is also a regular contributor to the Northwest Asian Weekly and she made the 2016 “Husky 100” list. “Through my work in journalism, I aim to amplify the voices that need to be heard and highlight stories that are often ignored.”

Sampaco credits her successes to her parents who came to the United States from the Philippines so she and her sister would have more opportunities.

As a recipient of the 2016 AAJA Seattle Founders Scholarship, Sampaco has an opportunity to attend workshops, participate in panel discussions, and network at the national AAJA convention, which will be held at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in August.

    In the Guinness Book of World Records (2008), the title
    of ‘The Most Expensive Virtual Object” went to Club Neverdie which is an asteroid space resort in the Entropia Universe. It looks quite odd against the languid lushness and Gothic majesty of the rest of the game. One of the greatest things about the new generation of internet-connected handheld gaming consoles like the Nintendo DS is the fact that gamers no longer have to be in the same room to trade, play, and battle with one another.

      You now, I’ve heard this sort of women’s-eye-view portrayal of the online market before, but it seems like there’s a tension here vis-a-vis the usual expectations re message-writing.If the overwhelming majority of messages girls received are hopelessly, beneath-contempt bad, then how come guys sending messages that are at least sort of ok don’t just clean house? If the competition is all abysmally bad, then how come there’s this sense that messages have to be awesomely great to have a chance of succeeding?

    They also discover the original jeeps and after briefly
    tinkering with one of them, they start it up and drive across the park
    in it. Pleos can actually change their moods and their
    minds. Now, at present time Hollywood movies are widely appreciated
    all over the world because of its content, story, sound, actors, directors,
    graphic and technology.
