I am Jake Miller. I am a senior at Bellwood-Antis, and this is my first year in the class. I normally write sports stories, however I occasionally do graphics. Outside of school, I am involved in many activities including hockey, cross-country, and track. I joined the class because it simply sounded like something I would enjoy, since I enjoy writing.
