Abstract
"Soccer standout Wes Mink continues career at Oakland" is an article written for Gull Lake High School's online newspaper, The Reflection. The article is a personality profile featuring a successful Gull Lake alumnus and is my second piece in a series of alumni features. The article follows Gull Lake graduate Wes Mink, who has gone on to play soccer at a college level and has thrived during his career there, attributing some of his success to his time at Gull Lake. Because the article is a personality profile, it gives insight into other aspects of Mink's life, in addition to his athletic achievements. The piece appeals to Gull Lake students and parents interested in alumni features following successful Gull Lake graduates into their college endeavors, as well as readers interested in Oakland University sports, such as fellow college athletes and college representatives.
