When I was in seventh grade, I got my hands on a camera for the first time. It was an experience that I will never forget. I had no idea that the yearbook class that I was taking would end up being such a significant moment in my life. From that day on, I knew that I had found my passion. 

In the years since that first day with the camera, I have taken on leadership roles in both my journalism and publications classes. I have honed my skills and have become quite good at what I do. This has led me to attend journalism conventions all around the country, where I have had the opportunity to make amazing connections with other like-minded people. 

Through my passion and hard work, I have even pioneered a brand new major at my high school. It has been an incredible journey so far, and I am excited to see where it takes me next.

Journalism has given me a sense of purpose that I have never had before. I have always said that I want to make a difference in the world, and I believe that through my work, I can do just that. I hope that people can look to me as a source of truth and information and that I can help to make the world a better place.
