My name is Rachel Lees and this is my first year writing for Triton Voice. I enjoy shopping, the ocean, and spending time with my family and friends. I think that it is important for students to take journalism to learn skills that you would not be able to possess in a standard English class.
Year in high school: Senior Year, graduation 2018
Age: 17
Things that I have wrote for the paper: "DECA-CATED", "What goes on in the halls of Triton", "Rowley Market Basket Review", and "Howdy Farmer Ben!".
Activities I enjoy: Swimming, going to the beach, snorkeling, traveling, or going boating.
Work: Market Basket in Rowley, customer service representative.
Triton Involvements: Boys Soccer Manager, Softball Manager, member of NHS
College: Applied to and waiting to hear from: Quinnipiac, Hofstra, UMASS Amherst, URI, and Clark
Accepted to: UMaine Honors College and Rutgers Art and Science School
Why I enjoy writing for the paper: I am able to give my opinion on any topic I would like
What I think I get out of writing: I am gaining a skill in writing creatively, that I did not possess before
Importance of journalism: The ability to commuicate effectively and express opinion
"Off-beat" things about me: I have a love for the ocean, I hope to ride a motorcycle when I am older, I aspire to travel the world, and I know how to drive a stick-shift car.
