Feature 

Feature writing was the first form of writing I learned in my freshman year of high school. I remember walking into my first year of newspaper boot camp and being surrounded by all these senior editors who, at the time, I saw as intimidating, but that feeling quickly went away when they welcomed me with open arms and gave me my first assignment – a feature on one of the librarians at one of our districts elementary schools. Since then, I ventured out to interview staff members at Prosper High School in every department, whether that was math, science, or history. I became more confident in reaching out to our administration, like our associate principal – Paige Trujillo, and members in my community, like the Mayor of Prosper – David Bristol. Not only have I shared stories from them, but a majority of my stories are from the students I share classes with, watch at football games, and more.

"Beyond The verse"

This article is my favorite piece that I've written throughout high school because it highlights the passion and hard work of the students and their advisers. This story captures the genuine and raw emotions against the new travel policies as well as the students continuing to overcome challenges in order to have a successful year. This story was trending at #9 with over 160 views on our site.
