What you hope to do this year: I hope to spread more positivity towards everyone and grow my writing style. I’d also like to win some awards!

Outside activities: Marching band, Jazz band, Mock trial, and Home Ec Club

Why did you take BluePrint? I took Blueprint because I wanted to expand myself as a writer and feed people facts about the school and the people in it.
