Corbin Nale, Staff Writer

My name is Corbin Nale, and this is my first year in the BluePrint. This is my freshman year. I joined the BluePrint because I like writing short stories, and this year I hope to gain new writing skills. Normally I write about the latest news. Outside of BluePrint I am involved in soccer. I also enjoy golfing with my family.
