My name is Lillian Gaona, but I go by Lilly and I am a Sophomore this 2025-2026 school year, and I am looking forward to writing for journalism this year. The reason why I wanted to take journalism is because I am passionate about writing, it is very fun and you can express yourself or how you feel. Journalism gives my writing abilities a purpose to inform and help people understand the world around them and how it affects people. I love stories that have a meaningful impact on people in a positive way, sometimes negative because people have a right to feel specific emotions to news and I understand that. This year I want to learn more about how news in the real world affects people and to help me understand people better in an emotional standpoint.
