   As a sophomore preparing to take part in the IB program here at Leander, academics are an important part of my life. Yet rivaling that is a passion for writing, which is why it’s such a pleasure to contribute to LHS’s The Roar. To me, friends are a pretty big deal and are held almost as close as family. I’m a lover of animals and have taken care of nearly every kind of pet. I love to draw and, as a QUEST student, have quite the creative streak. While I’m at times quiet and reserved, I can also be surprisingly outgoing and outspoken.

   My plans for the future are to eventually become a Harvard graduate and fulfill my goal of becoming a successful lawyer. Although, because that doesn’t do much to incorporate my love of fiction, I also plan to write on the side and I feel that the experience I’ll get from newspaper will only better my literary comprehension.

  A dedicated new member to the staff, I’m looking forward to seeing our school’s online newspaper blossom and improve even more than it already has. Here’s to a great year!
