This is my fourth year writing for The Hatters’ Herald. I joined the Hatters’ Herald because I love writing and I am always looking for places where I can share my writing with others. My favorite part about writing for the newspaper is doing features on things that the students are doing and sharing their story with the rest of the school. Being a part of the newspaper for four years has made me realize that I want to major in something writing related in college.
