I am currently a senior at U. City and have, unfortunately, only graced the newspaper with my presence for one semester.  Outside of school, I can only be described as one thing, a runner. I have been on the varsity cross country and track team all four years and spend my summers and winters continuing to run eight or nine miles per day. While in school, I am a “straight A” student.  As a staff writer for the newspaper, I enjoy the freedom of being able to report on any topic I choose. Even though it is my plan to be in college next year, I hope that my quiet, yet guiding presence has helped my fellow writers to grow in both their writing and character.
