As a sophomore, this is my first year involved in the Hatters Herald. From the time I was young, I loved to read and write and have developed a passion for it. Words amuse me, I find myself being able to express myself better through writing. This is why for years I've been writing in my diaries, writing short stories, and all in all being filled with various ideas. An aspiration of mine includes studying in the field of nursing on my way to becoming a Nurse Anesthetist. I enjoy studying, and I believe that the opportunity to write for a school-run newspaper will help me grow as a person and writer.
