- About Me
I am a senior in high school and am dedicated to all things journalism. I'm the co-editor of my student newspaper and plan on studying journalism in college. I'm interested in writing about politics, human rights issues, activism, and the arts. In ten years, I see myself working for a magazine, newspaper, or some sort of non-profit.
