Hi! My name is Sadie Clifford. I’m a junior at Triton High School. Most of my free time is occupied by my two jobs, homework, and writing. Additionally, I love to read and spend time with my two siblings or see my friends.

After high school, I plan on going to college. I don’t have everything exacted right now, but I know I love writing. Majoring or minoring in something English related is something I can guarantee will happen. Since I was younger, I was always very drawn to teaching and being a teacher. As my mother was one at that time, I followed in her footsteps and gained a lot of knowledge on the art of teaching. The education system as a whole has always been something I have been interested in. My passion is teaching and my skill is writing. I can’t help but want to apply those two things to my future career and become an English teacher. Even if I don’t become one, I can certainly say that a part of me will always be drawn to the school systems, whether it is out of interest or longing.

Media and journalism is something that I find most schools overlook. Journalism requires handling real life situations with writing, which in a regular English class is often left out. It is important for everyone to have the chance to learn about their community affairs, their local school’s events, state-wide happenings, and world-wide news. What better way to get all the details out to a school body than a student-written newspaper?

Being able to be a part of the Journalism class at Triton High School has not only broadened my horizons regarding writing techniques and styles, but it has also given me a chance to write about other people. I get to piece together stories based on the information other people give me. It’s very different from the other styles I am used to. My perspective as the author is unlike any other experience I have had as an author of other pieces and so far, I’m liking it.
