Q: What inspired you to take Journalism?
A: Honestly, I was interested in seeing how different fields work, and also I have a lot of love and respect for Ms. Fransen, so I was persuaded to take this class because of Ms. Fransen.
Q: What topics are you most excited to learn about?
A: I’m really interested in learning about politics because we’re getting to that age where we’re going to be voting in the next election, or most of us will be, so I want to learn more about politics and see what’s going on within the USA.
Q: How important do you believe journalism is to you everyday?
A: It’s really important to me actually, because like I said it’s how you get your knowledge, trying to be unbiased, and see their points of perspective. So I think it’s very important to be interested in journalism.
Q: What is one memory you will never forget?
A: This might be recency bias, but obviously my team won the state championship in soccer this past season. That’s something I'll carry with me forever, I’ve played which a bunch of the guys since elementary school, so it was almost like a fairy tale ending to that chapter of my life. It’s definitely not something that’s done very often so it was great to be a part of that.
