Emily Karl, Reporter

My name is Emily Karl and I am finally a senior. This year, I decided to take journalism class to learn about the business life in writing. This class seems a little stressful, but it will be a good experience for me. You should take this class to help you write more creatively. I have learned a lot past the last three years in high school. I know I will miss school, so my advice to you is live your life up and make it the best because you only graduate once then it’s off to the real world.

Hello, my name is Stacey Moore and this is my first year in Journalism. I’m the Style & Fashion Editor in the Opinion section of the school paper.

One word to simply describe my writing style is honest; whatever I’m writing about I will give my honest opinion even if it’s harsh. In my spare time I like to cook, listen to music, read and watch a lot of television.
